Educational/General Comments
Every day, ads for work-at-home jobs appear in newspapers across the country as well as on the Internet. Some of the offers include stuffing envelopes, assembling products, reading books, reviewing movies, medical transcriptions or selling advertising on the Internet.
The Better Business Bureau suggests extreme caution when responding to any such offer. While ads claim high earnings and short hours with little or no experience, the Bureau files nationwide indicate no evidence of anyone making the promised money. Rarely, if ever, are these ads an offer of legitimate employment. Generally, these jobs require up-front fees for information or supplies, and only the person who ran the ad makes any money.
You should be aware that US Postal Inspectors regularly investigate these fraudulent schemes, and that you risk investigation and possible prosecution by postal or other law enforcement agencies if you become involved in one of these schemes.
