How do I avoid scams?

The number one best way to avoid a scam is to look through the hype and look carefully at the company. Most ads in the classifieds are scams. They claim that for a starter fee they will teach you how to make $500 or more. If the company asks for a fee of any kind contact them to ask what exactly you are paying for. Never do business with a company that does not provide contact information or that fails to answer your questions in a week's period.

Legitimate work at home typing companies have a real person you can talk to who is willing to answer all your questions. If the company you join provides a list of companies to work for call up the companies on that list and ask them if they are recruiting. You may discover that most of the companies don't even know they are on the list.

Another scam is having ad typists type out ads for a non-existent product. This is an illegal scam that could have you facing serious charges if you get involved. Ask the merchant for a product sample. You may have to buy the product yourself just to be on the safe side.

Work at home typing online jobs can be a great way to make money while spending time with your family. Just be sure you know what type of job you want and that the company you work with is legitimate.
