Work From Home Scams and Complaints

Many families today need two incomes on which to survive, but when the family has a few kids, it can be difficult to get both parents out of the house for their jobs. The promise of a work-from-home opportunity leads many people into a scam and might end up costing a lot of money and time, both of which busy parents often don't have. Most home based businesses that are scams require someone to pay up-front for a kit of some sort that will teach a particular skill or that will make it easy to set up a home business. Unfortunately, the result of this kit isn't monetarily beneficial. The scammer essentially makes money from selling the kit itself, and doesn't really care if people can make money after the kit is bought and delivered. Any sort of work-from-home opportunity that includes tasks like craft making or stuffing of envelopes is most likely a scam. The reality is most work from home breaks are just scams, and this leads to a lot of defrauded individuals due to how popular these opportunities seem to be.

Most of the time the scammers would claim to be from a reputable organization and conduct interviews over instant messaging services such as Yahoo messenger. Once hired, the "employee" will be given a salary check and asked to send portion of the money to a different individual for various reasons. Eventually the original check will bounce.
