How many of those 'work at home' ads in the newspaper are actually genuine?

Question

Flip to the job section of a newspaper and it's filled with a plethora of 'work at home' jobs, often attached with written claims by someone else that they've become wealthy and successful from them and that they're earning $2000 a day or something. They encourage people to ring and get an 'information pack' or come to an information evening. I smell a rat when I see one, and it's obviously too good to be true.

What % of these are in fact Nigerian money laundering scams? What % of these ads are in fact genuine offers? And if so many of them are fake with no proven successes why do newspapers let these people advertise them?

Answer 1

Don't trust anything that wants you to pay them to get started, and certainly NOTHING that asks for a credit card or bank account number, they're only trying to rip you off.

If one does sound legit, do your homework... search the internet and even call the Better Business Bureau.

Answer 2

HI there are plenty of legit business, but i have NEVER believed that you can join a company and make $2000 just like that. I have been scamed and taken for a ride. It also depends weather you want to work for someone at home as a JOB or if you want to build a business of your own. If it is business a building then there will be cost, weather it is stock to sell, or advertising, or other expences that come with a business. I am now building up my business on line and although i did pay a start up cost, it has now paid for its self, you just need to know where to look. But as for paying for a JOB, then thats just a scam.
