I was home from college for a few weeks and had a lot of time to kill before going back to school. I was pretty close to broke, so making money from home seemed like a great idea. I replied to one of the job postings, inquiring about the position and sending in my resume for the company’s review. I received a quick reply, which told me that I had been approved and that I would be processing all sorts of orders from home, all I needed was an email address. The email was vague on what sort of work I would be doing, which should have roused my suspicions. It did, but not enough to make me stop reading. The email said the only thing I had to do was complete a seven dollar payment to the company via PayPal to verify that I was serious about the application and to cover the cost of sending me my “training materials.” This should have set off an alarm as well.
After a lot of badgering, the guy who scammed me eventually refunded my payment. A quick Google search revealed that the scam is pretty well known, and that I should have realized that it was too good to be true. If you really want to make money from home, stay away from these scams and look for postings which look for freelance writing, editing, or design. If anybody wants you to pay money in order to take a job you’re going to get scammed without a second thought.
