Some of the offers include stuffing envelopes, assembling products, reading books, reviewing movies or selling advertising on the Internet. The Mountain States Better Business Bureau suggests using extreme caution when responding to these offers. While ads often claim high earnings and short hours with little or no experience, Bureau files nationwide show little evidence of anyone making the promised money. Rarely, if ever, are these ads an offer of legitimate employment.
Some ads promote quick and easy get rich ventures, traditional pyramid schemes, or chain letters.
As with the crafts, where you were almost never able to get paid because there was always something about your birdhouse that caused it to be rejected, few people ever get paid for computer work either. To evaluate these tempting solicitations that offer a chance to earn money by working at home, follow the same signals that tip you off to other potential frauds. Requiring money for instructions or merchandise before telling you how the plan operates. Claims that no experience is necessary. Won't give you their address or phone number.
