Once again, there's another article about work-from-home scams, this one in a recent Washington Times edition (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/jul/13/ads-for-big-money-can-just-be-scams/). The article beings as follows:
"The ads are everywhere: in your mailbox, online or tacked to telephone poles in your neighborhood.
They all make similar promises. Earn big money! Work at home!
With unemployment at a 25-year high and even people with seemingly secure jobs feeling uneasy, it can be tempting to respond to offers to turn your computer into a cash machine or help you earn big money for doing simple tasks. There are some legitimate work-at-home opportunities, but there are also countless scams that could cost you money — and even get you into trouble."
Just a friendly reminder to thoroughly check out any job before committing to it--and especially if the company asks for upfront money!
Until next time,
Sarah
