Examples of Work-from-Home ScamsAs many consumer affairs advocates, like Clark Howard have said, almost ALL work-from-home schemes that you see advertised in the back of women's magazines, entrepreneur magazines, most internet websites and classified advertisements... are scams. Others may be legal but simply worthless. As a child, you may have considered the ad in the back of comic books to get rich raising earthworms or growing mushrooms in your basement. As adults, most people recognize the inherent idiocy of these ventures. however, we may now get sucked into other "ventures" that operate along the same lines, but appeal to us on other levels. Here are some actual examples of typical emails and advertisements that are for worthless work-from-home schemes. Remember, it doesn't matter whether they are legal or a flat-out scam: the real question is, do they really work? Who gets rich, you or the guy selling the schemes? Looking at these, the answers ought to be obvious!
