I’ve already written few posts about online job scam and how to avoid them.In this post I’m going to talk about few type of scams that are very easy to recognize.It’s important to know these scams and create awareness about them.So that no body gets scammed in future.

Email Processing Scams–They promise you up to $25 per email that you process.All you have to do is to pay some fees to get these jobs.Now does it sound normal?Why should someone pay you that much money just for processing an email? Many people are falling in this trap and losing their money.

Some of these scammers are actually telling about email marketing,where you build a double opt-in list and send that list occasional affiliate link and hope some of them will buy.When they buy using your link you get paid.But,this is not something anyone can do.It takes lot of time and experience to be successful in email marketing.

Medical Billing Scams-Another scam whet you need to pay some fees to get a job that actually does not exist.Medical clinics does not outsources their billing jobs to some unknown home workers.

Envelope Stuffing Scam-This is a type of scam that not only scam you, but,it actually tells you to scam others.You’ll have to pay some upfront fees to join them.This is how these guys make thousands of dollars.This is illegal,and you may face legal prosecution. Avoid these like plague.

Craft Assembling Jobs Scam-In this job you need to assemble toys and other crafts at home.You’ll have to buy the starters kit to start with.But,the problem with these jobs is that,these products hardly have any market.So, the companies you work with, will, in most cases, refuse your work and you won’t get paid.Ultimately you’ll lose your start up fees.

Pyramid Schemes Scam-These schemes requires an upfront fee to join.As a member all you have to do is to refer more members who would join for that fee.They don’t offer any service or product like the Multi-Level-Marketing schemes.These Pyramid schemes are illegal in most countries.

Get Rich Quick By Easy Home Jobs Scam-Now,there can’t be anything called ‘easy money’.You’ll have to work really hard to make money,in whatever profession you’re in.Don’t get fooled by these ads.Don’t go with the hype.Rather, bank on your expertise and hard work and build a real business that can feed your family for years to come.

Basically,before starting any home business or taking any work at home job,make sure you do enough research about that.Read blog posts,visit work at home forums and ask your queries,interact with your social media friends.Once you have got positive feedback from them,apply your common sense to make any decision.Don’t lose your common sense in desperation.
