Work at Home Scams

There are lot of sites online which promise to help you make 1000s of dollars in a jiffy. But how effective are they? Here are some of the sites you should stay away from:

1) Home Typists - These kind of sites offer to pay you for typing work. Their site usually says that they have a database of a few hundred companies which pay you a few dollars per ad you type. To get the database, all you need to do is pay a entry fee to join their site.

This entry fee can vary from $25 to $50 (or Rs. 750 if it is an Indian company). Once you make the payment, you are not given any list of companies. You are asked to type in the same ad with which they scammed you. You are asked to post this ad on different sites and when someone sees your ad and gets scammed, you might probably get paid.

2) Paid Surveys - These sites tell you that you will get paid anywhere between $25 to $75 just for filling out a few surveys. Doesn't that sound easy? You just spend 15-30 mins on a survey and you get paid $25. Unfortunately, it's not so easy.

There are only a few valid sites which really pay you for filling out surveys. And none of these sites ask you to pay to be a member. So if you find any site which asks you to pay in order to access the survey links, you can be sure it's a scam.

But even if you find a good survey site, don't depend on it for a full time income. The good survey sites will match your profile with the survey before they ask you to participate. So you will get a survey probably once a month or maybe even once in three months. $25 in 3 months isn't exactly great money, is it?
