Its hard enough to look for a work-at-home job without going thru some online scams., Fake work at home jobs abound from scammers just waiting for you to fall for. A positive outlook while browsing might do the trick. Scammers prey on desperation. When you’re desperate you want to believe that something is true, even though it’s obviously not.

• Real employers want a resume and job experience, if they don’t ask for it, they’re probably not real.
• The lack of an email address or address, and a phone number instead. Real employers don’t have time to talk to every applicant on the phone as they call-in, they’ll want you to email or fax a resume so they can read it when they have time.
• A real job will always list the job responsibilities, so that they only get candidates who are ready and willing to do the work. A scam job doesn’t list job duties.
• Don’t waste your time with any employer who asks you for money, be it for a “starter kit” or for any reason. You’re looking to make money, not spend it.

Its best to print this out or keep it where you can see it so when you are browsing through the net, you will be reminded to watch out for these scammers.
