WATCH OUT FOR WORK AT HOMESCHEME SCAM

Are you still on the market looking for legit Work @ Home Programs? The Federal authorities had discovered a Scam on some of the online work at home programs. These scams are enticing people to sign up for a money making schemes that involves earning big bucks while sleeping or while at the comfort of their homes or during spare time. These vary from envelope stuffing, assembling products from home, and even creating Web sites.

Signing up requires a membership fee and can you imagine how much money they have ripped off for millions of people that bit the bait? Just do the math…. The Federal Trade Commission, Justice Department, U.S. Postal Inspection Service and law enforcement agencies in 14 states have joined forces to hunt these cons down and punish them in accordance with the violations of consumer laws.

Others that were caught had been prosecuted by law and served jail terms. However, there are lots of fish in the ocean that need to be caught and it is not easy for the authorities to do them all at once. In order to educate and create consumer’s awareness on existence of these groups of online scammers, FTC created a website for the purpose. This website published the names of Illegal Businesses that proliferate on the Internet and to warn the people against these types of investment.

The FTC has started a Web site to educate consumers who use the Internet to find business opportunities. Having an online business involves hard work and there is no such thing as making your money grow while sleeping or not even doing the work. Visit the website http://www.ftc.gov for more information.

Now that the truths are revealed, if you are asking what online business opportunities can be legit? I have to tell you my story. In 1994, I came across an ad that they are looking for Content Writer. They require people to write contents for the website. They require people who have good command of English language and have time to do an online research on different topics that they wanted us to write. It was a contractual job and we pay our own taxes. They paid us 3.50 for every 250 words content that we write on a particular keyword. There are thousands of content to write and the more you write, the more money you make. We were given access to their server where these articles are uploaded to. This was a good start and since then I’d been accepting orders from other websites to write for them.

I spent more than 4 hours a day, writing articles and there is no time wasted. I even use my spare time at work to be productive because I believe that time is very precious and I want to spend the most of it. If you know now to manage time, you can find time to do these things whatever it takes.
