Envelope Stuffing
These scams are even advertised in news papers. The idea is you will be paid for sending envelopes to a list of different addresses, sent to you when ever you request work. These envelopes are said to be needed for whatever reason, that doesn't matter as you will probably never see any. They ask you for a one time sign-up fee to cover some kind of cost, admin or resources (envelopes) for example and often say this will be refunded to you once you finish the work. Have a think about it. Envelope stuffing is a thing of the past, it is all done much faster and more cheaply by machine these days and any businesses doing this kind of work for what ever reason will operate from a premesis and so is not a work from home opportunity.

Transcribing Work
Transcribing is a real job that can be done from home using the internet. It involves getting a recording and typing out what you hear into a document. This kind of work is often used to scam however. You will be charged this one-time fee again. Whenever you are asked for a fee to get a job it is, with 99.9% certainty, a scam. A real transcribing company will not charge you to get the job, you will be employed in the usual manner -sending a CV, maybe having an interview etc.

Data Entry
This is the most widely scammed area. You will usually have to pay a one time fee to get to a large jobs database or for access to all the secrets of earning multiple streams of income from the internet. Don't pay for this information, its all on our site FREE! Real Data entry jobs are in extreamly short supply so its not worth looking as the chances of getting one are so small.

Golden Rules

If it seems too good to be true, it almost certainly is. If someone is telling you you can earn $250+ per day from data entry, they are trying to scam you. Thats $91,000 a year working every day -they usually say you only need to do two hours per day. Look out for these Ads down the side of a google search for "data entry".
Example google Ad:
" Quick & Easy Data Entry System
Data Entry - Make $250-$2500 Daily!"
-
Never pay a website for an auto-pilot work from home system. Working from home is far from auto-pilot and can be hard work. Anyone who advertises easy-money systems or fast-cash schemes is selling you information you can find for free or a useless product.
-
Look out for sites with a lot of information on them. These websites usually follow the following format: Title, big headline boasting of a thousands per day opportunity, loads of testamonials of how good the system is, screenshots of big earnings in accounts or checks and finally a sign-up now box. These sites almost always fail to say one sentence about what the product is/system is or how it works. So people get roped into paying money when they dont even know what for -out of curiosity/stupidity. These sites are ALWAYS a waste of time.
-
Be wary of google Ads. Googles search engine algorithm will return results based on your search that are relevant. Try to use the search results to find what you are looking for. A google advert is paid for, often by a scammer or by a site that will give you no more information than you can get here for FREE. We have tested and signed up to one of these sites and it contained information that could easily be found on free information sites such as ours.

Remember: work from home opportunities should NEVER be paid for.
