ANY and ALL "Work at Home" advertisements I have EVER seen are nothing but SCAMS! They don't get busted because you DO get something for your money! For instance, the Make Merchandise at Home scam. You send them $40 to $50 so they can send you materials to make purses that they will sell for you for $65 --for example. So you send the money and they send you some pieces of vinyl and some string and a needle and a very blurry sheet of mimeographed instructions and you NEVER hear from them again. If you do make the "purses" and sent it to them, you won't get paid because you will get another blurry memographed sheet of paper back that says that "we're Sorry but your work is not up to our standards so we can't pay you." And then, nothing again. Nothing at all. They got your money. You got punked! You got scammed! But the postal authorities won't do anything about it because you sent them some money for supplies to make purses and they sent the supplies to you. It is not their fault if the purses don't meet their standards. Of course, we know there were NO standards. Repeat ANY KIND OF WORK AT HOME job advertisement is a RIP OFF! The only way you can work at home is if your boss on your regular job gives you permission to work from home... Beware of the storefronts with only one or two people that try to get you to work from home. Theft of services because they won't pay you and you will come for your check to an empty office space which they rented under an assumed name. There are so many ways you can get ripped off by "WORK AT HOME SCAMS" it is UNREAL! You COULD WORK AT HOME --someone else's home cleaning and tidying up or maybe cleaning up yours. That's the ONLY way you are going to clean up working at home!
