The
internet and newspapers are filled with scams. In fact, sometimes
it is hard for me to even market AllFreelance.com - because many
people see "Work at Home" and they instantly think that I am trying
to sell them a "scam job". This article will outline how to tell
which jobs are scams before you invest your time and heart into
any venture.
Have
you ever seen something like this in the classified ads section? $5000/$6000
A Week From Home
Work from home, work part-time or
Full-time. Your Choice. No Experience
Necessary. SASE to PO Box 1455, etc. It
sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? Lets face it, who makes
this much money in one week other than doctors and lawyers? If it
sounds too good to be true, than it IS! Another thing that you might
take notice of with the above job listing is "SASE to PO Box 1455".
The reason the job poster wants you to send an envelope is because
he is going to probably send to you more information about the job,
mainly an order form so you can buy the supplies to begin working.
NEVER send money to anyone offering you a job. Another rule of thumb
is to never apply for a job that you have to send a self-addressed
envelope without mention of having to send your resume too. Here
are a few examples of Scam Jobs:
1.
Envelope Stuffing -
The envelope stuffing scam has been around for as long as I can
remember. The way this job works is that the job seeker will see
an ad in the newspaper for something like this: "Make 100s of Dollars
Stuffing Envelopes from Your Home". This person will send a self-addressed
envelope with $5 - $30 to the individual who posted the job. In
return the job poster will send to the job seeker information on
how he/she can also post these ads and make money. It is all a big
scam, there wasn't ever any "actual" envelope stuffing position
open. The individual who started this envelope stuffing scam in
the first place gets about 95% of whatever profits are made from
this "ad posting". This "scammer" might even refuse to pay you any
money at all because you didn't adhere to strict guidelines (even
if you did). 2.
Assembly of Crafts -
In this scam, you will need to purchase hundreds of dollars in supplies
in order to start your craft business. You will need to spend countless
hours assembling crafts by hands. In most cases you will not get
paid for what you have submitted. In many instances, craftworkers
will receive back a letter saying that the crafts didn't meet their
quality standards. In fact these fraudulent craft operators never
intended to pay the money. All that was intended was to sell to
you the machinery for your home craft business.
