Things You'll Need:
- computer
- a brain.
-
Step 1
The first rule is real jobs don't require you to pay the employer. Ever. If it wants money for a list of jobs or a start up kit it is a scam. if they really wanted to hire you they would not charge you money.
-
Step 2
The next thing to avoid is any web page with the word "surveys". There is no such thing as a straight forward paid for surveys site. They are all running a scam from selling your email address or getting you to sign up for 50 other paid for surveys sites in order to get your prize. It wont happen. Other buzzwords to avoid are "focus groups", and "email forwarding".
-
Step 3
Anything you get in a email that is not responding to your email about a job is bogus. If any email claims to be from a website you have an account on, like eBay or ehow and requests something open up an new browser and type in the website and see if there is something in the messages section to you about it. If not it is a scam.
-
Step 4
Also any work from home craft assembly jobs or envelope stuffing is junk. The envelope stuffing is going to tell you to post signs about envelope stuffing jobs and get people to call you to get you to send them the same info to post there own signs. The craft assembly is to get sell you a starter kit and then tell you the crafts you made are not up to par with company standards. They make money selling starter kits, not the completed crafts.
-
Step 5
If you do not know if a website is a scam or not just Google search its name with the word "scam" next to it.

on 6/10/2009 for the viewer see 3 different examples of spamming for fake internet surveys websites, all added by the same member, using different accounts most likely but overall a good example of a website to avoid.
