You must be honest with yourself. If something promises you riches WITHOUT YOUR INVOLVEMENT, Use common sense. Why would they even need you?
All Work From Home Opportunities are Scams. I’ve heard this over and over again.
Is it true? Most of the time, the answer is:
NO. Most work from home opportunities are simply NOT SCAMS.
Usually those are people who tried at something for 1 or 2 days and didn’t make $1,000,000 dollars and say it was a scam. And they are right. It was a scam to them. They CHOSE NOT TO BELIEVE that it just might have been their effort, knowledge (or lack of knowledge), and persistence to learn a new form may be to blame.
On the other hand, the person that they paid money to, thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Perspective determines whether an opportunity is a scam or not.
If they want your credit card number or bank information or other information that is NOT needed for joining, run away as fast as you can! That’s probably a serious scam.
If they ask you to pay in cash, be leery, but it is not necessarily a scam. Many payment processors refuse to fund/pay things involving multiple levels or advertising or other things. The system may still be legitimate. Do your due diligence before sending cash.
I DO send and receive CASH! One big advantage to cash over credit cards is, you know what you are spending upfront. And there are no “processing fees”
They won’t have your credit card info for mysterious charges to show up next week, next month, or next year.
