FTC Scam Information: What to Look Out For
The Federal Trade commission of the United States Federal Government has provided information to help you avoid
work at home scams and rip-offs.
Though there are many legitimate work at home opportunities, there are also nefarious individuals willing to scam
other out of their money using tempting work at home offers.
When you review work at home possibilities, keep the FTC's warnings in mind:
1. Work-at-Home Schemes
2. Be part of one of America's Fastest Growing Industries!
3. Earn thousand of dollars a month - from your home - Processing Medical Billing Claims.
You can find ads like this everywhere - from the street light and telephone pole on your corner to your newspaper
and PC. While you may find these ads appealing, especially if you can't work outside your home, proceed with
caution.
Not all work-at-home opportunities deliver on their promises.
Many ads omit the fact that you may have to work many hours without pay. Or they don't disclose all the costs you
will have to pay. Countless work-at-home schemes require you to spend your own money to place newspaper ads; make
photocopies; or buy the envelopes, paper, stamps, and other supplies or equipment you need to do the job.
The companies sponsoring the ads also may demand that you pay for instructions or "tutorial" software. Consumers
deceived by these ads have lost thousands of dollars, in addition to their time and energy.
