At Become A Virtual Assistant, we have been asked by lots of people "How can you avoid 'Working From Home Scams?'".
They feel scared about working via the Internet. They hear so many stories about scams that they assume that all work offered via the net is rubbish. With a little bit of common sense, the rubbish can easily be sorted from real earning opportunities.
Hopefully in this article I will be able to show you how to quickly check to see if it is real or fake. I have been working via the Internet for over 10 years so have some experience in this.

Once made 'they' claim you can sell the completed items and make a profit but be warned you will be competing against places like China and you are likely to be left with many of the items yourself. What is worse, some scams ask you to send the items back to them for a quality check which you are likely to fail and therefore you never see the items or your payment again.
How to sniff out a scam ?
Some measures have been put in place on the Internet to protect you but here are some questions you could ask yourself to sniff out a scam: Is there a website for the company? Is it a good website and not something put together by an 11 year old? Does it have lots of pages and good explanations? Are there any testimonials and do they have pictures and contact details? Does the company offer video or other training? MOST IMPORTANTLY - Does it have a money back guarantee and does that guarantee have a nice big black and gold logo that gives the timescale for the guarantee.
If the company is paid via Clickbank/PayPal or PayDotCom you will ALWAYS be able to get your money back in 60 days. Look out for other organisations that may have logos on the site that are trust logos of various types and check them out - this is down to you.
