Making money on the internet.

Have you ever thought about working from home? Make money using your computer and the internet?
Well, before you do, you should read this.

Internet-related business opportunities are just the latest flavour of these work at home scams promising big money for little work or investment. Whenever you read a business opportunity or work at home ad, stop and ask yourself:

Is the ad vague about what you would actually do but promises big earnings or wealth?
Does the ad promise that you will make big money working a few hours a week?
Is there a fee for getting more information (either a direct fee or a number for you to call which you will be billed for)?
Is there any experience necessary to do the work or start the business?
If you express interest, are you pressured to act immediately?
Here's an example.

Assembly or Craft Work at Home Scams
The pitch: You will make good money working at home by making things which the company will then purchase from you.
The way this scam works is that you pay (sometimes thousands of dollars) for materials and equipment upfront. You might have to buy a sewing machine from the company, for instance and/or parts for whatever item you’re assembling. Then you make the items – but the company never does buy them back from you. None of your work is ever “up to standard” according to them.
