I don't want to get rich - but I would like to be a stay at home mom - however my husband and I can't afford for me not to work - so I'm looking for something that I can do at home to make money.

Yes. It is a scam. If it wasn't, most people would be doing it. Do you really think that all of these people sit in heavy traffic every morning because they WANT to? Of course not. If given the choice to work at home or work abroad, what do you think that most people would choose? Working at home online is about the biggest scam there is. Of course they cannot legally commit fraud, however, they have lawyers who are smart enough to keep them on the side of being legal while finding ways to part you from your money. Typically every woman with children who cannot afford daycare and/or cannot afford to be out of work fall for scams like this because it sounds like the perfect solution. They use situations like this to their advantage because they know how despirate you are and how willing you are to come up with whatever money you have saved up. When they are trying to get money from you, they will be just as nice, friendly, and cogenial as they can. As soon as they cash the check they are the hardest people to get a hold of.

The only place I have found that is not a scam is http://alpineaccess.com They were recently on Goodmorning America, but because of that they received over 65,000 applications in a single day. So don't get your hopes up of actually getting a job with them.
They run a call center and almost all of their agents work from home. They do not require any money up front, (or really, no money at all) because they do not go the independent contractor route, they pay for all of your training (you train from home) etc.
It's really quite stupid that more employers don't do work at home stuff, it benefits everyone. Including me, who is partially disabled due to Spinal Arthritis. But our government could really give a crap about any of us in our country, they're too busy spending billions on the War on "Terror" What a joke.

YES YES YES.
If the company asks for one single penny, they are a scam. Any company looking for workers will not charge.
have you looked at www.workathomeagent.com ?
I worked for them a couple of years ago. It's taking calls for companies like Home Shopping Network and Visa and Mastercard. I think I also took Pizza Hut orders for them for a while.
It's not much money, just a few hundred a month, but it's better than nothing and it's totally free.

Generally yes, Data Entry can be hours and hours of typing on a keyboard. Wear and tear on you and your equipment. hard on the eyes and possibly leading to carpal tunnel syndrome. It depends on how intensive the work is.

Yes it is. Johnson and Johnson is a company that lets stay at home mothers work for them. So do Procter and Gamble.
