The job itself may not be fraud, but the advertisements usually are -- in reality you make very little. \n\nThink about this: if everybody could make more money by working at home, wouldn't they?

Check out http://www.bbb.org/alerts/article.asp?ID=436 they give you the 411 on data entry jobs, envelop stuffing and home assembly work scams.\n\nI found a home-based business that works for me. I looked into data entry jobs, but they all wanted you to pay money and most of them involved typing adds. Not what I had in mind. =/ But I really like the business I found. I did the free trial at first so I had time to check it out. I'm glad I did! =)\n\nYou can check out the site at: http://www.automaticbuilder.com/43264/\n\nIf this is something you might be interested in I'd be happy to help get you started. \n\nGood Luck!

Hardly any legitimate companies outsource mailing to home-based workers.  \n\nBefore investing time and especially money on any home-based business offers, it’s a very good idea to educate yourself on the different types of schemes there are out there, and what to look for – and look out for – before picking a home-based business.  The Federal Trade Commission offers several advisories about home-based business opportunities and network marketing (MLM) schemes. Please review them before making any decisions:\n\n"Work at home Schemes" http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/invest/homewrk.htm \n'Net Based Business Opportunities: Are Some Flop-portunities?\nhttp://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/online/netbizop.htm\n"The Bottom Line on Multilevel Marketing Plans" http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/alerts/pyrdalrt.htm

I got sucked into a scam like this over 10 years ago when houses didnt have multiple computers, the only internet was slow dial-up and windows was 95!  I paid about $29 for information on how to work from home doing typing for envelope addresses and the ad claimed there was no envelope stuffing involved - just address labels.  Since I can type faster than most people talk, I signed up.\n\nWhat I got was a list of companies that have huge mailing lists and a form letter to send them to offer my services from home.  Turns out I had to stuff envelopes after all!\n\nI spent some money on postage, bought the letterhead and tweaked the form letter a bit but didnt get a single response from any one remotely interested in having data entry done for them.\n\nWhen I tried to contact the company I sent money to again, they had changed addresses so I called the Better Business Bureau who told me this was a mail scam to collect money on hopes of having a better life.\n\nThey said that most of these companies send you a few typed pages of how to get other people to send you money for similar typed pages.  It only takes a PO Box and a few dollars to place those ads in shopper papers - they collect and disappear - laughing all the way to the bank.\n\nDONT DO IT!

I dont think so. They usually turn out to be fake. If you want to work at home why not try your school if your young or your local newspaper. If they cant help you maybe they can tell you who can. Good Luck.

They are all lies....its like life...if it seems too good to be true it always is.  Everyone here tonight wants a job they can do at home....it's not going to happen...to good to be true. Some people are cruel enough to give people false hopes to make money. So if you are ever asked for money for a job online...back away.\n\nGood Luck\n_________

There are a few websites that make such an offer.  They offer to start you in a business that will make you lots of money and you work from home with your own PC.  I would like to caution you however that between you and the website operator, it's the website operator that will be making the money....from you.  Unless you have a maketable skill and already know what it is, and that you know that it can be applied to internet reaching out to customers, don't get involved in the other schemes.

It is difficult to find a good computer based work from home, but my suggestion would be to sell on ebay.\nI'm a full-time student, and mother and I sell on ebay and have made enough to pay my bills.  \nAlso, I wouldn't suggest you buy the many softwares and tutorials for selling on ebay because it is quite easy and ebay walks you through the process with ease.\nI hope this helps :)\nSusan H

I've always wondered what kind of work, exactly, you'd be doing at home.. I think it's most likely a complete scam, used to sucker people into things. Maybe they want you to pay money upfront and you get cheated.

Most legitimate work-from-home schemes don't ask for money up front. It's much safer to go with a local real-world job agency.

Do you mean those advertised home-based jobs? I think they are pretty much a scam. Usually you have to buy stuff from them before you sell it, and you'll end up stuck if it doesn't sell.
