This work at home scam has been around since ages ago. Interestingly, it is still around! There are many types of envelope stuffing scams, but the typical way this scam works is that the "companies" will get you to mail them money, and they will send you a "manual" which is actually a stack of useless flyers which promote another work from home job (which is actually, the one you're doing).
How do you get your money? The people who sees your flyers will then send you money in hope of getting a work from home job just like you. But think about it, how many people would really respond to those flyers you give out or paste around town?
It is very clever on the scammers' part though, because it is them who will earn the most money!
Scam 2 - Email Processing
Animals evolve, so does work from home scams! From stuffing envelopes, scammers have advanced to processing emails! Yes, emails! Well, there are many email scams around. There is one that claims that you can earn money for each email you read.
The thing they don't tell you is that, you won't get a lot of emails. They also have a lot of hidden costs! My friend actually signed up for a job plan like that. Yes, he got the emails, and yes, his account was accredited for the emails he opened up. The amount he "earned" was more than $200! But after all the costs and miscellaneous fees, he got $50 dollars, opening useless mails everyday! What a waste of time!
Scam 3 - Get Rich Overnight Schemes
These schemes are the worst. They attack humans' weak points and yes, it is very tempting for you to sign up for this work at home opportunity! The online dealers promise to make you earn A LOT in a day by following their step by step plan, which is very expensive (around $197). But the thing is, getting rich overnight is not possible! Even if it was possible, it wouldn't be so easy!
Think about this, if everyone could get rich so easily, wouldn't everyone have quit their jobs. There are however, some great work at home opportunities that I have personally tried out and liked! The main category is earning online income through affiliate marketing!
