The world is full of legitimate remote positions that you can perform
while in your pajamas. However, scammers use fake ads to lure hopeful
job applicants who want to reap the benefits of working from
home. Be
careful of the return check scam where your new “employer” sends you
money to set up your office and then demands a refund before their check
bounces. Stuffing envelopes, starting a business, surveys, and mystery
shopping are other work-from-home scams to be aware of. If you see an ad
for medical billing or some other job that clearly requires expertise
and it says: “no experience necessary,” it may be a scam.
