Although there are genuine jobs working at home, many "offers" don't deliver on their promises. Before responding to a work at home opportunity, check it out. 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. Be smart. There is no easy way to wealth. If the offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is. WORK AT HOME SCAMS. THEY JUST DON'T PAY!
