If they want you to pay them money to get started, look elsewhere.

Generally if they are asking for a lot of money up front - think scam.
If they are promising returns that go way beyond what's reasonable "make thousands in 3 hours a week" think scam. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Where they are asking you to transfer funds through your bank accounts for "Some poor person from ????? who has millions but can't get to the money for ???? reasons". Same if they ask you to cash cheques/bank notes/postal orders, and you get to keep some of the funds. These can leave YOU facing criminal charges.
Ber careful of any business that only gives you an e-mail contact, and a mobile number. No address, no land-line. Check the Yellow Pages (telephone directory) and see if they are in there, and that the details match.
Don't accept any delays in payments for work done. If they are ligitimate they will pay on time, every time.

Anything wanting a fee upfront is usually a SCAM.
If someone scams $26,000 from one person, the police will be called the scammer will be investigated.....
but....
If this same scammer scams 1000 people out of $26 each, chances are he or she will get away with it because of the small amounts.

They are mainly scams paying a really poor wage.
They prey on the vulnerable who have to work from home and are generally not very nice people who run these schemes.
I have been ripped off several times, please tell me if you find out different

I have tried asking this question before and didn't really get much repsonse. One person told me about one that he does and makes a couple hundred extra a month so I guess they are out there. I would like to know more as well. Let me know if you find anything good. I will keep watching your post as well.
Thanks
