Default Pay for Work a FRAUD

There was this post that I read, it was about 5 months ago. It said that you can get paid working at home. So I took a look at it and the message stated how to get started. When I sent a reply, they told me that I should pay 13$ so that they will send me the learning kit and I could start working anytime I felt that I was ready. Luckily, I was able to read about these scams; all they do is send you an e-mail stating that you should also post this type of messages to get others to sign up and pay for you. What a rip off! Anyone else experienced this?

There are tons of scams like this. My advice, before you start working for anyone, you find as many things about the company as possible. If you can't, then don't take the job.

As a general rule of thumb, I stay away from all jobs which require you to pay from your own pocket in order to gain eligibility.
Big reputable companies never need anyone to pay in order to work. It just makes no sense!

In my local classified papers, there are many ads for working at home and making upwards to $1000 a week. They either say call a 1-800 Number or go to a website. I never look any further into them.

Which is good because 99% of the time even those are scams which is sad because it makes the newspaper look bad that they would have such an ad that could cause people a lot of money loss.

Last year I always thought I could make so much money working from home online.. bought 2 ebook for a few dollars just to find it you have to resell the ebook or sell other items or do other obvious stuff... Waste of money by me purchasing it just helped them work at home

I have got a very bad experience in my past...I stay away from all jobs which require you to pay in order to a job. They all are cheaters and scams . Just stay away from them.

I think you should get a research done regarding the company or the organisation for which you are working... This reduces chances of getting scammed to a large extent.
