Look Out!

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).
