It's the dream of many stay-at-home moms to find a little side work they can do from home while children are napping or in school. Who couldn't use a few extra hundred dollars a week – or even a month – to help with expenses?

The most famous ones you get in an email .. are either from your resume posted on Careerbuilder.com site

 

1. promising you a job making 3000.00 a week to process checks sent to you in return you cash them and then send the money out to a "foreign country"  .. believe me its a scam.

2. Mystery Secret shopper scams- they send you a fraudalent money order or cashiers check payable to you mailed to you from another person usually within the usa.. you are to go to currency exchange to evaluate the clerks performance etc.. and then you are to cash that cashiers check and keep 200 and wire the rest usually to a foreign country like the Phillipines..  also a scam 

3. You receive an email supposedly from a US Soldier stationed overseas saying his platoon found several thousands worth of gold and he wants your bank account information to transfer the funds to your acct within the usa.. also a scam.

if you get any type of these emails you can click on spam or forward the entire email with full headers back to part of the spammers email example abuse@yahoo.com or abuse@aol.com or abuse@hotmail.com or abuse@gmail.com and that will let the spammers email provider know they are sending out bs emails to solicit your help for illegal activities.

I find that when it comes to work at home getting involved in something where you know like physically know the person and can see what kind of lifestyle do they have and is their business paying for it?  Or if you find something online go to the better business bureau or ask for some one local who works the business and can you meet them.  Many work at home opportunities today are businesses where there are teams of people working together training in reality multi level marketing only nicer.Surprised

Lend me 15 minutes of your time it could change your life.
