WORK AT HOME SCAMS: WHY YOU CAN EASILY FALL FOR THEM

In an earlier post (work from home blog: Article 1), I made it so clear that work at home is a work. And even though it may not be as stressful as one’s office job it is still a work. I discovered in my work at home job search that the way to make money online usually stairs us in the face from the moment we start our online job search. But here are two major reasons why we don’t take them;

First, the legit work will likely involve time and labour at the beginning and secondly the dividend does not show up immediately. These are two major reasons why we allow most of the legit ways of making money online to pass us by. On the other hand, the reason we get scammed is because the opposite of these two is what work at home scams offer. They offer less work with instant great pay and this always catches our attention.

See It This Way

Starting your own online website or business and building a freelance career are two great ways to make money online (more info will come soon about them). But both require a lot of sacrifice at the beginning and the pay isn’t always very great at first. Not to mention the money you will need to stay connected to the internet and for the software you may need to buy. All these could make the legit way very discouraging. I had this problem too, but after wasting time surfing through work at home scam sites I came back to where I should have started earlier. The question we usually face is why go with earning $100 in your first month when you can earn $1000 in your first week? But our answer should simply be because we don’t want to give about $40 to a scam. The $100 is what a legit work at home may offer you for a start while the $1000 is what a scam will likely offer you for a start. Now you see why you can easily get scammed.

Now see it in reality;

In reality, a person that starts with the legit way of making online cash and spends his time and labour into it will be better off. The reason is simple. A person can easily waste 10 months going from scam site to scam site because he wants quick lazy cash. Meanwhile he could have focussed on starting with small and after those ten months his income would have grown. If he does the former he will still have no reasonable online job after 10 months and he would have wasted a couple of dollars too. However, the irony is that time goes fast when you are wasting ten months surfing work at home scam sites. While it may be slow when you are watching your income rise with legit online work for the same ten months duration. But you be the judge because as for me the latter is still the best...

DON’T GET SCAMMED

While this article is not a review of any particular work at home site it contains useful information of several work at home scam sites. Like in a previous blog post -  work from home blog: Article 1; it was clear that a work at home scam site is not necessary one that does not cause you to earn anything but also one that over exaggerates what you can earn.  The latter is actually what you are likely going to get from most work at home sites. We will start by providing you with useful information to prevent you from being scammed as you search the internet for a good work at home opportunity.

Can I Trust Forum Posts?

This was something that brought me joy in the early days of my online work at home job search. As I browsed through the various sites online, I came to discover some attractive suggestions from forum posts of good work at home opportunities. Most of them where answers to an individual’s question. Their question may have been where can I get a good work at home job? Then some persons will post answers. I have come to discover that some of those answers are scams. And that it said that the person who asked found the answer useful isn’t even a guarantee. I have seen that some questions, answers and reviews are part of the skilful work of scams. So can I trust forum posts? The answer to this will be certainly not 100%. And I won’t put my bet on them if I were you. Here is my solution. Whenever you see a forum post suggesting an online work at home job site, go to the site and use the information that will be provided in various posts on this blog to find out if it is a scam or not. But you should know that there are ways to make money online by investing into your own purse and even by not investing at all. More on this will come in soon which to me is a better alternative to using your money to promote a scams business.

MONEY, MONEY and MORE CASH

Have you seen this type of picture before? You know, either at a data entry work at home site or an online survey site. You know what they offer you. Tons of information found in their member area. Of course to become a member is simple. Just a valid email address and password will do. Oh, less I forget and also a little something. Did they not tell you that if you don’t apply now --- day of --- month of --- year you will not have the discount again? Did you try visiting the site after that day and see that it was an automated thing? Did you see as you began to read that the job opportunities where unlimited, but then as you continue to read you see that you need to hurry up because spaces are filling up quickly? Seeing all this should already make you suspect a scam but their stories is why you often get trapped.

Their stories

Their stories can make you ask yourself – what if it’s true, thus forgetting all the evidences of scam that you earlier saw. Their stories can make you calculate how much you can earn in your mind while you are reading it. Their stories can make you think of how you will pay off or buy something within the next two months. Yes we all get the feeling. Are you new to it? You might have come across some of them before getting to this blog.

Yea Right

They start by telling you how this may be the most important thing you will ever read all year and how so and so made thousands of dollars (which wets your appetite). Is it not funny that they leave the token they are asking for, for last? They allow you to use almost an hour reading their site page offering you promises, showing you cheques, and their fake testimonies; some even help you to calculate how much you can earn which also wets your appetite. Then they start to give you the gist of how little you need just to invest in this opportunity. How your possibilities are unlimited, with no education or skill needed. And the fee to become a millionaire in a year or two will be just around some $40 - $50 which is supposed to be a onetime payment. They also have a kind of money back guarantee and some secure seal (see identifying an online work that is not legit).

Food For Thought

But rather than writing like them, I will leave you with this food for thought. In this recession era, if it is so true, so legit and so easy why isn’t everyone doing it. Good news like this should spread fast don’t you think. If for just 50 or even 100 dollars I can easily make a thousand in a month will I hide that information from my friend that has being laid off work. Someone must have tried it before; if it worked, they would have told someone that would have told someone that would have gotten the news out. Then the website would not need any advertisement. Their success would advertise for them. Don’t you think that the reason it is not like this is because it is a ........ you know what. Don’t get scammed!!! This is just another SCAM ALERT!!!
