Question:
I am trying to find work at home and to avoid scams. There is an ad on CNN for people to work at home, but I can't determine if this is a scam or if you can really make money this way. There is another ad for Angela Bussio Home Profit Master and Google search said this was a scam. Are these legitimate or fake?
Answer:
It can be hard to decipher the real jobs from the scams. Especially when they advertise on sites you trust and visit every day.
The best way to research work from home options is to start by
researching the ones that you like with the Better Business Bureau.
Even an ad placed on a legitimate job site could be a scam. Look for
red flags such as (1) do they ask for a credit card number or bank
account number before they process your application? (2) do they talk
about sending you a large sum of money and then ask you to redistribute
it? (3) do they ask you to pay a fee up front? (4) does it say no
experienced required but everyone is getting rich? If the answer is yes
to any of these questions, it might be a scam.
Another resource that you might find helpful is the Rip Off Report at http://www.ripoffreport.com/
. It will show you user reviews of various sites. Remember, it is a
report for rip offs so some of the filed complaints might be complaints
vs. indicating it is a scam.
