Work at home schemes

Common schemes

  • Envelope stuffing
  • Assembly or craft work
  • Reading books

To avoid being a victim, find out

  • What task you will be required to perform.
  • If you will be paid on salary or commission.
  • Who will pay you.
  • When you will get your first paycheck.
  • The total cost of the work-at-home program (such as how much you will have to pay to get the materials).
  • The company's reputation (check with a local or federal consumer protection agency).
