However, before we get going, an important point:

The FBI reports Web fraud claims rose sharply in 2002. In fact, they *tripled* from a year earlier. Not a surprise to Internet ScamBusters readers.

​​Top 10 Work At Home and Home Based Business Scams and How to Avoid Them - Part 1
 

In this issue, we'll focus on the Top 10 home-based business/work-at-home scams. We'll give you the straight goods on envelope stuffing, mystery shopping, and other common home-based business "opportunities" you may have seen floating around the Net.

Then in the next issue, we'll give you some important tips you can use to kick the tires of any online job offers or business opportunities you find so you can protect yourself from those that are scams.

Work-At-Home and Home-Based Business Scams

There are two basic types of scams involved here. Scammers using both types are aiming at folks who want to make money from home, either by:

1. Having you work from home, doing envelope stuffing, craft assembly, or other tasks where you are (supposedly) paid by a company as an employee.

There are certainly some legitimate telecommuting jobs, but work-from-home jobs are often just big scams.

Before we go any further, a sobering quote: "There are very few legitimate [work-at-home job] opportunities available," says Beverley Williams, President and Founder of the American Association of Home-Based Businesses.

2. "Helping" you start your own home-based business, as a mystery shopper, network marketer, or other businesses where the only money anyone sees is the money the scammer pockets.

Certainly, there are LOTS of legitimate businesses that can help you start your own home business. We'll help you figure out which are real -- and which are just scams.

Our goal with Internet ScamBusters is to save you time, money and heartbreak before you fall for the scams. Remember -- if it sounds too good to be true... *it probably is*.

Why Are These Scams So Successful?

It all comes down to psychology. Besides the "make money fast" dream that many Internet newcomers fall prey to, home-based "opportunities" scammers mooch off the following groups. Perhaps you belong to one or more of them:

1. The Sick, Disabled, or Elderly: If you are elderly, ill, or have a disability, you may have problems landing a traditional job.

2. The Stay-At-Home Mother: Whether you have a spouse or you're single, you may be looking to supplement or create an income while raising children.

3. The Low-Income or No-Income Family: You or your spouse may have just lost your job, and you feel desperate and anxious to find work as the bills pile up.

4. The Person Without Higher Education: You're not stupid or dumb -- you just didn't go on to college or university.

To summarize, these scammers are often preying primarily on the sick, the disabled, the elderly, the unemployed, parents, and people without a lot of money.
The Top 10 Home-Based Business/Work-At-Home Scams
Note: These scams are not ranked by dollars lost or people scammed. In fact, there's nothing scientific about the list. It's just the ten home-based business scams we find the most disturbing.

10. Craft Assembly

This scam encourages you to assemble toys, dolls, or other craft projects at home with the promise of high per-piece rates. All you have to do is pay a fee up-front for the starter kit... which includes instructions and parts.

Sounds good? Well, once you finish assembling your first batch of crafts, you'll be told by the company that they "don't meet our specifications."

In fact, even if you were a robot and did it perfectly, it would be impossible for you to meet their specifications. The scammer company is making money selling the starter kits -- not selling the assembled product. So, you're left with a set of assembled crafts... and no one to sell them to.

9. Medical Billing

In this scam, you pay $300-$900 for everything (supposedly) you need to start your own medical billing service at home. You're promised state-of-the-art medical billing software, as well as a list of potential clients in your area.

What you're not told is that most medical clinics process their own bills, or outsource the processing to firms, not individuals. Your software may not meet their specifications, and often the lists of "potential clients" are outdated or just plain wrong.

As usual, trying to get a refund from the medical billing company is like trying to get blood from a stone.

8. Email Processing

This is a twist on the classic "envelope stuffing scam" (see #1 below). For a low price ($50?) you can become a "highly-paid" email processor working "from the comfort of your own home."

Now... what do you suppose an email processor does? If you have visions of forwarding or editing emails, forget it. What you get for your money are instructions on spamming the same ad you responded to in newsgroups and Web forums!

Think about it -- they offer to pay you $25 per email processed -- would any legitimate company pay that?

7. "A List of Companies Looking for Homeworkers!"

In this one, you pay a small fee for a list of companies looking for homeworkers just like you.

The only problem is that the list is usually a generic list of companies, companies that don't take homeworkers, or companies that may have accepted homeworkers long, long ago. Don't expect to get your money back with this one.

6. "Just Call This 1-900 Number For More Information..."

No need to spend too much time (or money) on this one. 1-900 numbers cost money to call, and that's how the scammers make their profit.

Save your money -- don't call a 1-900 number for more information about a supposed work-at-home job.

5. Typing At Home

If you use the Internet a lot, then odds are that you're probably a good typist. How better to capitalize on it than making money by typing at home?

Here's how it works: After sending the fee to the scammer for "more information," you receive a disk and printed information that tells you to place home typist ads and sell copies of the disk to the suckers who reply to you. Like #8, this scam tries to turn you into a scammer!

4. "Turn Your Computer Into a Money-Making Machine!"

Well, this one's at least half-true. To be completely true, it should read: "Turn your computer into a money-making machine... for spammers!"

This is much the same spam as #5, above. Once you pay your money, you'll be sent instructions on how to place ads and pull in suckers to "turn their computers into money-making machines."

3. Multi-Level Marketing (MLM)

If you've heard of network marketing (like Amway), then you know that there are legitimate MLM businesses based on agents selling products or services.

One big problem with MLMs, though, is when the pyramid and the ladder-climbing become more important than selling the actual product or service.

If the MLM business opportunity is all about finding new recruits rather than selling products or services, beware: The Federal Trade Commission may consider it to be a pyramid scheme... and not only can you lose all your money, but you can be charged with fraud, too!

We saw an interesting MLM scam recently: one MLM company advertised the product they were selling as FREE. The fine print, however, states that it is "free in the sense that you could be earning commissions and bonuses in excess of the cost of your monthly purchase of" the product. Does that sound like free to you?

2. Chain Letters/Emails ("Make Money Fast")

If you've been on the Internet for any length of time, you've probably received or at least seen these chain emails. They promise that all you have to do is send the email along plus some money by mail to the top names on the list, then add your name to the bottom... and one day you'll be a millionaire.

Actually, the only thing you might be one day is prosecuted for fraud. This is a classic pyramid scheme, and most times the names in the chain emails are manipulated to make sure only the people at the top of the list (the true scammers) make any money.

This scam should be called "Lose Money Fast" -- and it's illegal.

1. Envelope Stuffing

This is THE classic work-at-home scam. It's been around since the U.S. Depression of the 1920s and 1930s, and it's moved onto the Internet like a cockroach you just can't eliminate.

There are several variations, but here's a sample: Much like #5 and #4 above, you are promised to be paid $1-2 for every envelope you stuff. All you have to do is send money and you're guaranteed "up to 1,000 envelopes a week that you can stuff... with postage and address already affixed!"

When you send your money, you get a short manual with flyer templates you're supposed to put up around town, advertising yet another harebrained work-from-home scheme.

And the pre-addressed, pre-paid envelopes? Well, when people see those flyers, all they have to do is send you $2.00 in a pre-addressed, pre-paid envelope. Then you stuff that envelope with another flyer and send it to them.

Ingenious perhaps... but certainly illegal and unethical.

In the next issue we'll share 10 tips on avoiding home-based business/work-at-home scams.

Wishing you a scam-free month!

STAY CLEAR OF THESE SITES

Don’t get caught in the traps of work from home scams designed to take your money and leave you to blame in the eyes of the law. Know how to spot the opportunities that aren’t real, starting with these five frauds.

1. Package Forwarding
This con hurts victims twice over. Its artists will cheat targets out of their own money, and then bring the police to the door to question a suspect, not help a victim.

A thief will steal someone’s credit card (i.e. identity theft victim) and use it to purchase goods, but he knows that he can’t ship them to his own address without attracting attention. So he sets up phony ads on Craigslist and other online boards promising payments for forwarding packages, often under the guise of helping a neighbor who’s traveling or an overstocked business.

The scam victims then receive the package, along with instructions on where to send the package next. After re-mailing the stolen goods – with their own money – they’ll supposedly get a check for their services. Sometimes payment comes, and sometimes it doesn’t. In either event, it’s usually the police who show up wanting to know why the victim received stolen goods at their own address. Try explaining that one.


2. Email Forwarding
This hustle puts a modern spin on the old envelope-stuffing scheme, which surprisingly still finds victims today.

An unsuspecting job seeker gets an invitation to make money by forwarding emails on behalf of a company. On the surface, it might look like a marketing job or entry-level position in online media. You’d think it’s easy to see through a scam like this from the beginning, but for someone desperate for work, it’s easy to miss some warning signs.

The “company” informs the victims that to get started, they just needs to submit a fee for materials or software they’ll need. Once the cheats have the cash however, they’ll either never send the materials, or even worse, the “material” is just a letter that tells the victim how to run the same scam on other unsuspecting people

3. Work in Crafts
Unless you're in business for your self this hoax is another one that’s been around so long, it’s a wonder that it has any victims left. But it does, and they’re losing thousands of dollars to it.

Instigators begin by advertising online or in print media, announcing a search for workers who can assemble crafts or other items for them. They promise payment on a per-piece basis, saying that they only accept high quality goods, and that workers will have to purchase top-notch sewing machines and other equipment from them. The investment is worth it, they say, because the piecemeal work they do will quickly have the equipment paying for itself.

Of course, these specific machines can only be bought from the craft company, and soon the checks and credit card orders start rolling in. After targets have spent thousands of dollars, the “company” simply closes up, the scammers pocket the cash, and the victims never hear another word.

Alternatively, some advanced con artists, knowing that people may be wise to the scam, will go so far as to send some equipment out. In this longer game, they reject all of the crafts the victims send on the grounds that the products don’t meet standards. Duped, the would-be craft workers never see a dime and may not even realize they’ve been tricked.


4. Incoming Jobs
Especially in this market, the “You’ve got a job!” scam is gaining ground. In this one, unsuspecting victims receive an email with the good news that a job offer awaits them at a certain website that has more information. Following the link, they see instructions to enter their mailing address and other personal information for permission to see if jobs are still available. Surprise! They still qualify, but only two jobs remain, and they need to quickly claim one before another applicant else gets it.

To claim the role, they’ll need to provide more personal information, including valid credit card data. ”Why do I need to provide a potential employer with my credit card number?” a desperate job seeker may ask. And the cons have an answer: For job training of course! This particular (mandatory) training will cost, say, $200, and the job starts after successful completion of training. In the end, there’s no training, no job, and the victim gave up $200 – and a credit card number. This can potentially open you up to identity theft and separate credit card fraud and scams

5. Data Entry
While there are plenty of legitimate data entry jobs, there are also a lot of sham employers who exist only to bilk work-from-homers out of thousands of dollars. They’ll post a job for data processors who can work from home. When an applicant contacts them, they put them through an interview and make a job offer.

But wait, all employees must use a specific software to work on their system. The applicant doesn’t have it (no one does) because it’s only made by the company, who then sells it for thousands of dollars – yes, really. Applicants are happy enough to have the chance to work from home, so they bite on the offer. As with similar scams, the job seeker has just spent thousands, and, not surprisingly, after the check clears, the data entry job never materializes. 






In conclusion, when looking to make money on your terms there are a number of things you have to be aware of. But at the same time Entrepreneurship is still all about taking chances.   Study and investigate as much as possible not only to make sure it's not a scam but to make sure it's what you want to do. Making money at home is all about comfort,flexibility,and control of your destiney and finances so you should not feel miserable.  Make sure you have the money to fund your business/plan weather it's much or little because you can't always worry about losing it, or if you will succeed.  Most of our successful entrepreneurs went through the same thing we went through, and at some point had to take that chance.  Just try and make sure it's the right one.

Working from home is becoming more and more common place. Whether this is stuffing envelopes, proof reading or as an e-business the number of people working from home is growing with people's needs for flexibility. In response, companies are becoming more flexible with their employees and more businesses are being run from home. Although this is often an exciting time of new opportunities and freedom, people often do not receive the advice to work from home they need. It can be difficult to stay disciplined and achieve the success of earning that extra income or time freedom. To aid your new adventure, here are some frequently asked questions to help you work from home and achieve the success you deserve.

How do I make sure I get work done?

The answer is simply, discipline. Identify when you work well and when you don't. Structure your day around this so that you are as productive as possible. Once you have this schedule, stick to it! Taking regular breaks can help too. As long as you are focusing when you need to get the work done.

Yes, but I keep getting distracted. How do I stay focused?

Create an area where you can work. So look at this as a designated area where you can focus on work. Move this away from the kids, the pets and the TV. Separate your work from your home by shutting a door to all the things you love, enabling you to get into the right frame of mind and get the job done.

How do i stop my friends and family from distracting me?

This is common too. Try sharing what you are doing with your friends and family. This ensures that they know when it is work time and when it is time to play. Otherwise, they may expect you to start doing chores or helping them out in your valuable work time.

How do I know when I have done enough work for the day?

Without a boss looking over your shoulder it can be hard to know when you have done enough. Remember you are your employer and employee. Set yourself some targets for the day and work towards them. This enables you to appraise your own performance. If you are missing your targets ask yourself why. You can change the way you do something to make yourself more efficient the next time you do it.





How do I stop myself from overworking?

When you finish for the day don't go back to your work again. Use the time to relax and refocus your energies. Use the time you have scheduled to do work and the rest as free time. After all, this is why you chose to work from home – To get more time freedom? Write anything down on a pad and come back to it tomorrow in your ‘work' frame of mind.

I often feel guilty working from home and don't have any breaks?

Ovid said "Take rest; A field that has rested gives a beautiful crop". Just because you don't have a specific time to go to lunch now you still need to rest. Having plenty of rest is a great way of making sure that you stay in tip top condition when you are working. Allowing you to be more productive when you work from home than if you were in an office.

How do I stay positive without someone there to motivate me?

We all have those days when it gets on top of us. We want to throw in the towel for the day. This is easy to do when you are at home. Instead, take a quick break. Refocus on what you need to do and get straight back on that task. It is too easy to quit when you don't have a boss to answer to. To be successful you need to keep going.

How do I get better at what I am doing without anyone to tell me otherwise?

Make sure you know how you are doing. Give yourself regular appraisals when you work from home and track your progress. You are your boss and the employee so be honest so that you can make the changes going forward to make it better in the future. Ask family members or friends for their input, especially if they are close to your work. They can add a perspective that you cannot.

Working from home is not always as easy as it firsts suggests. Keep focused on your task in hand and set yourself some rules. If you can do this, you will really unleash the power of working from home and how you can turn this into true ‘life' success
