I don’t know about you, but I see ads for home business scams everywhere – on TV, in magazines, in the classified ads, and even in my inbox.
They sound so enticing; low investments, little work and big profits.
But don’t be fooled…
I mean, yes! You can make big bucks at home in all sorts of businesses (especially those you create yourself), just be sure you check them out thoroughly before you spend your money or your time on one.
Anyway, if you’re thinking of working from home, you have to realize that at least 97.9% of the offers out there are scams – after all, if it were that easy, wouldn’t everyone be doing it by now?
So pay close attention…here are the biggest scams out there.
Envelope Stuffing
This is the most established work-from-home scam, and it’s been going on for decades. So pay attention. I’m not going to repeat this…you won’t make any money putting letters in envelopes!
Charging for Supplies
The practice of charging for supplies is hard to pin down to any one scam – it’s the way almost all work-at-home scams operate (including envelope stuffing). If anyone asks for money upfront for supplies, run.
Crafty Lies
Another variation on work from home scams is common with crafts. You might be asked to work at home making clothes, ornaments or toys.
Unfortunately for you, when you send the work back, the company will tell you that it didn’t meet their “quality standards,” and refuse to pay you. Then they’ll sell your crafts for a profit and move on to the next sucker.
Home Typing, Medical Billing, and More
There are lots scams that outsource people to work from home. For example, typing legal documents or entering medical bills into an electronic database. These scams have one thing in common: they all require that you buy some “special software.”
But here’s the gimmick…the work from home ad was simply a ruse to unload the worthless software. Now, isn’t that heinous?
You get the point! Watch out for scams. To be successful, create your own home business where you make the rules, where you’re the creative force behind it and where you’re the boss.
Find something you’re talented at and start marketing it to people who want what you have. Yes, it’s work, but it’s worth it in the long run.
