Email Hoax
Avoiding Work At Home Scams

Watch out for an email hoax if you are looking for work at home information. Sometimes you can inadvertently get on a mailing list and receive emails that are basically just scams.

Envelope stuffing work from home is often one of those scams.

This is not to say that there are not a lot of honest real work at home opportunities that provide legitimate online jobs. But peppered in with the good are those who scam and are out to just get your money. Email is such an easy means to scam people, that it's a safe bet that every person with an email account will have received some type of scammy offer in their inbox.

Your best defense against falling prey to an email hoax is to research the company that is offering you a "job". It's very easy to use the internet to do this research.

Look up the company in question in a popular search engine such as Google or Yahoo or Bing. Run a search on the name of company followed by the word scam. See if anything comes up. Find out what state the company does business in and look up the state's Better Business Bureau site. You can find out a lot of information on a company if they are indeed bad through the BBB.

These sites are good places to start when you want to investigate an email hoax, research a particular company or even if you have fallen victim to such a company:

BBB.org - this will lead you to the state that the company resides. You can check out complaints and/or make complaints from this website.
Fraud.org - Also known as the National Fraud Information Center. They have a comprehensive list of work at home scams that you can check.
ScamBusters.com - This is a private run website that exists just for those who want to avoid or who have been hit by such scams.
WorldWideScam.com - This site also caters to the work at home crowd. There are many published articles about existing scams. They add humor in with the mix to keep things light hearted.
