At Become A Virtual Assistant, we have been asked by lots of people “How can you avoid ‘Working From Home Scams?’”. They feel scared about working via the Internet. They hear so many stories about scams that they assume that all work offered via the net is rubbish. With a little bit of common sense, the rubbish can easily be sorted from real earning opportunities. Hopefully in this article I will be able to show you how to quickly check to see if it is real or fake. I have been working via the Internet for over 10 years so have some experience in this.

Warning - Home Typing Scams

It seems that these sorts of scams do still exist although they are becoming few and far between. Later in this article, I explain how you can tell if it is a fake or scam.

Medical Billing Scam

This goes along with the above - if you have to pay for billing software, beat a quick retreat.

Craft Assembly

As you know there is a lot of competition out there for selling goods, in the UK and abroad, so the chances of you being able to sell home-made items at a profit is unlikely. That is how this type of work fails but added to that some scams ask you to return the completed items to them for a quality check. As you may guess, you fail the quality check (no matter how good the items) and you never see the products, your payment or anything in return for your efforts again.

How to sniff out a scam

The Internet has rules and regulations as any organisations do. There are some things to look out for if you are going to try to get work on the net:

Is there a website for the company?

What is the quality of the website?

Does it have lots of pages and good explanations?

Are there any testimonials and do they have pictures and contact details?

Does it offer video or other training?

Is there a money back guarantee? If so does it have a big black and gold logo giving the timescale for the guarantee? Does it simply offer a lifetime guarantee? If the company is paid via Clickbank/PayPal or PayDotCom you will ALWAYS be able to get your money back in 60 days.

On some websites you will see trust logos which come in various shapes, colours and sizes. Go surfing now and see if you can spot any.

Have a go at trying to sniff out some of the scams, we did and found a few genuine sites.

Also remember - even if it is not a scam, you have to work hard to earn your money, the adverts that say $25,000 in 3 months - I take with a very large pinch of salt and would not touch them with a bargepole.

You can earn a living on-line, many of us do, just follow the link at the bottom of the page for a site we have researched heavily and really does work.
