Make $1000 Stuffing Envelopes--Seriously?

You've probably looked at billboards, telephone poles or received emails that promise you can earn "Extra Money Working From Home".  I even had flyers and business cards placed on my windshield. Were you ever intrigued enough to call the number? If you, like many others, did-you probably talked to a very energetic person who tired to convince you to send in a small sum of money to learn about this "amazing" opportunity. If you are tempted and justify the amount by saying "it's only $9.95" STOP. First, real job opportunities do not happen like this. Second, it's illegal in many states to collect money upfront for a job opportunity. They may call it a registration fee or a fee for the start up materials but however they word it, they'll still charging you for this work at home job and you will get next to nothing in return. The reason they charge a small amount is because they hope you won't complain to consumer protection agencies who will investigate and shut them down. Even though it may be a small amount, it's not worth losing your hard earned dollars to a work at home scam. For more information, see the FTC's "Work At Home Schemes" publication.
