Answer by College Guy
Most of them are scams.
Question: Any experience with answering a “work at home” employment ad? Good? Scams? Warnings?
I have noticed several that require an ‘investment’. I have heard of some that sound like a carnival game, that only pay off if you can do the impossible. Have you ever responded to a work at home ad that turned out to be profitable?
Smiley? How many pages do I have to go through before I find out what this job is about? Methinks if it was legit, you would say so up front.

No, none are profitable.
Question: What is the deal with “work at home” jobs? Are they for real? or Are they all scams?
I’d really like to work from home, doing some of the things i’ve seen advertised…such as mailing information, assembling products, any kind of data entry, but not spamming. I’m scared though because I don’t want to be scammed or tricked into something.

Question: What’s the truth behind these “work at home” internet ads? Can someone tell me w/c are real & w/c are scams?
The ads come complete with testimonials from allegedly satisfied people who registered and are now working at home and earning huge cash. In some ads you are required to make an investment like buy a CD or a kit. This makes me more suspicious.

If they want your money, for whatever reason, I’d give them a miss. If anyone was really recruiting home-workers they would supply what was needed without charge.

They’re mostly pyramid schemes, where you gain money from recruiting people into the program. Not worth it.

Protect Yourself: * Closely examine the ad or offer. * Don’t give out personal information to a person or company you don’t know. * Be suspicious of any offer that doesn’t pay a regular salary or involves an overseas company. * Check out the company with the FTC, Better Business Bureau, state Attorney General or your local consumer protection agency.
