I received through a assemble work at home website. I request for info, I then received form to fill out and needed to send money order for $32.05 + $5.05 for shipping. They cashed money order on Feb. 11th and I still have not received anything. When I called them they would not talk to me.

Why is it no one ever BOTHERS TO CHECK OUT THESE BOGUS WORK AT HOME SCAMS BEFORE SENDING MONEY??? MOST WORK AT HOME OFFERS ARE SCAMS.

How can people be SO IRRESPONSIBLE WITH THEIR MONEY?

INFORMATION IS OUT THERE ON THE INTERNET TO SPOT AND AVOID SCAMS
Like the FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION WEBSITE

Excerpt from the link

Envelope stuffing. Promoters usually advertise that, for a "small" fee, they will tell you how to earn money stuffing envelopes at home. Later - when it's too late - you find out that the promoter never had any employment to offer. Instead, for your fee, you're likely to get a letter telling you to place the same "envelope-stuffing" ad in newspapers or magazines, or to send the ad to friends and relatives. The only way you'll earn money is if people respond to your work-at-home ad.

Assembly or craft work. These programs often require you to invest hundreds of dollars in equipment or supplies. Or they require you to spend many hours producing goods for a company that has promised to buy them. For example, you might have to buy a sewing or sign-making machine from the company, or materials to make items like aprons, baby shoes or plastic signs. However, after you've purchased the supplies or equipment and performed the work, fraudulent operators don't pay you. In fact, many consumers have had companies refuse to pay for their work because it didn't meet "quality standards."

Unfortunately, no work is ever "up to standard," leaving workers with relatively expensive equipment and supplies - and no income. To sell their goods, these workers must find their own customers.
