Not ALL are scams.. but you shouldn't have to pay to work for an employer. The minute I see dollar signs I turn the other way and RUN!! I currently work from home as an independent contractor for www.liveops.com (dont know if they are hiring or not) but I LOVE it!! I didnt not have to pay a cent. The requirements are listed on the website and its fun and easy!

The other answerer has a good point... lol...\n\nIf you are concerned about someone that you are dealing with: I'd recommend asking for references from the person/company (and calling), looking into what orginizations that they belong to (eg. Real estate boards) and looking to see if they are a member of the local BBB.\n\nAs far as a list of know scams or cons, I'd be curious to see if one exists.

Yes, but most of them are people trying to sell you an exam preparation package, and you have to register with the site.  When you register, you will get tons of spam.\n\nYour best bet would be to go to any real estate office and ask the broker for tips.

I've seen a bunch of these before too & have considered looking into them. The rule of thumb that I developed was that if they wanted any money up front, it was a scam & unless I could find good reviews about the ocmpany through the Better Business Bureau, I wouldn't bother. I never went too far into it, however because life intervened & I finally decided that I'd just look elsewhere.\n\nIf you type well, you might find something out there for at-home data entry. There are jobs out there but they can be somewhat hard to come by...

Yes. Customer Service from your home, apply at: www.workathomeagents.com. There's a great forum with many ideas: www.workplacelikehome.com.  I do 3 different work at home jobs ranging from data entry to customer service to HYIP.  If you read the forums out there, you can find some amazing opportunities (These opportunities NOT being those SELLING scams)

It is not a scam, but a lot of work.  They are similar to a wholesaler for products that you will have to sell yourself or to a retail store.  It involves a lot of leg work on your part and time.

It's a scam, not true, a lie to get your money...do NOT send them any money.  Why would a company send you an offer of employment via the email?

RED FLAGS - pretty good signs a business opportunity is really a work-at-home scam:\n> It sounds too good to be true ("Earn $2,000 Weekly Stuffing Envelopes at Home!").\n> You're promised huge earnings ("If you're not earning $1,000 per hour, you're selling yourself short!") for an unbelievably small amount of easy work ("We want 100 lazy people who dream of making lots of money without working!").\n> You feel pressure to decide or make payment immediately.\n> You find unresolved complaints at www.bbb.org, the Better Business Bureau's service to help you check out specific companies.\n> You're required to pay for a "job." If payment is required for a work-at-home job, it's either a scam or an illegitimate business opportunity.\n> Your state requires business opportunity vendors to provide lists of previous buyers of the business opportunity, and the company you're interested in doesn't include one.

I'm assuming you just received a job offer via instanthumanresources.com, right? I just received the same exact email regarding Invior Marketing and the only thing that came up in the search engine were your questions so there obviously isn't information about them out there.\n\nHowever...\n\nI then did a search on "Instant Human Resources" and a lot of scam information came up as a result.  They apparently have the "same" job offer through many other fake companies and is a notorious scammer. \n\nSearch Engine Results: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=%22instant+human+resources%22&btnG=Search\n\nAnd I found this article to be particularly informative:\nhttp://www.scam.com/showthread.php?t=7675\n\nI'm glad I decided to look into it further before overeagerly submitting my info. Alas, the job hunt continues!

Most legitimate work-from-home schemes don't ask for money up front. It's much safer to go with a local real-world job agency.

No, they are not scams in any way.  I have instituted hundreds of these for my first time home buyers and you don't have to pay them back.  \n\nIf you would like more detailed information on them, please contact me at timothy.kazee@americanhm .com and we can talk.  These are great options for someone in your shoes.\n\nTalk to you soon!!!!

There are a few websites that make such an offer.  They offer to start you in a business that will make you lots of money and you work from home with your own PC.  I would like to caution you however that between you and the website operator, it's the website operator that will be making the money....from you.  Unless you have a maketable skill and already know what it is, and that you know that it can be applied to internet reaching out to customers, don't get involved in the other schemes.

they are a waste of time and effort, i havent seen ones that are scams the ONLY online survey company that isnt a scam is owned by Johnson&Johnson, its called Tremor. They dont give cash, but they give away free stuff. In the years Ive participated been given free car wash kit, free ticks to a concert, 12 free quatro razors, a tshirt, etc, but no green

It sure as hell looks fishy.  It may not be a scam, in where they are trying to steal your money, but the idea that you can make $1,000/day doing data entry is ludicrous.  That would correspond to a pay of about $125/hour, and commercial data entry operators make somewhere around $10-25/hour.\n\nOh wait.. I read further.. they ARE trying to take your money.  Scam definitely.  You might make a few dollars if it's somewhat legit, but they get your $97.00 up front.

If it sounds too good to be true then most likely it is.\nThere are lots of legit ways to make money from home. \nLike doing surveys like I do, selling on-line, making your own website, joining and selling for affiliate sites.
