WORK-AT-HOME Schemes
Can I really make thousands of dollars working in the comfort of
my home? That's the golden question.these promotions are adverted on
signs placed on telephone polls and street corners, in email messages,
newspaper ads and even in the mail. The promoters want you to believe
that you can earn thousands of dollars monthly, working part-time in the
comfort of your home.
Unfortunately,it has been found that the claims simply aren't
true. These offer require you to pay advance fees to receive information
about the work opportunity. After you pay your money, you'll find that
you either get nothing in return, or at least not legitimate work to do.
It has been found that if you respond to envelope stuffing
promotions by sending the required fee, you'll receive instructions on how to
place your own advertisements in local newspapers, offering your own
work at home scheme. According to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, it
is illegal to operate a work-at-home scheme. When you respond to ads
offering items to be assembled, the company may send you the materials
to assemble the craft. However, once you return your finished product
to the company, they will notify you that it doesn't meet their
specifications, and will refuse to pay you.
You'll find te same scenario when you sign up to be book reviewer,
movie critic or mystery shopper. After you spend your own money to in
a store, buy a book or see a movie, you'll be required to submit your
review. The company will find that your review doesn't meet their
requirements, and you'll have to go out and find your own customers to
make money after putting in your time and hard work.
Although there are a number of companies that offer positions that
can be done from home, you won't find the jobs advertised in the
newspaper - there's already enough demand for the jobs without the
advertising cost. You may want to check with a local employment office for help
finding legitimate work that can be done at home.
