DEFINITELY A SCAM! Do not let your friend do this. You can find out more about these types of scams at the Federal Trade Commission's website.

We've scoured the internet to find work at home opportunities that are legitimate and creative at the same time. You might have heard of offers to stuff envelopes and earn a thousand dollars a week but at the risk of sounding clichéd; if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. "Watch TV and earn twenty dollars an hour" seems like a really good work at home idea, but if such jobs really existed, why would the majority of the population endure long commutes, office politics, and mean bosses. This does not mean that there isn't any legitimate work at home opportunity out there: it just means you need to research the offer and find something which matches you skill set.

Work from home is a fantastic concept. But you have to be creative and make your own. I believe that everything else is a scam typical of the marketing world we are in. There is no such thing as a quick buck. Again, there are a lot of people with ingenuity who work from home.

Seems to me a legit business would use a bank to cash checks. This sounds like a scam. I'd stay away from it.

NO NO NO NO! Do not partake in that. That is one of the biggest scams online today and can cost your friend hundreds to thousands of dollars. It is a major scam and she should report it. For her sake andn yours, I am telling you not to do that. IT IS A SCAM!

One thing to remember, you DON'T BUY anything from them, even if it's FREE or FREE trial or whatever that has to do with giving out a penny from you pocket.
Other than that, you can see if you can work from home.
If you're recieving a check from them, hold the check for 2 weeks to make sure it's cleared.

This is a scam and be very careful. They will give you checks to cash and ask you to send them the money via western union (the first give away) after you deduct your 10% or whatever they offer.
The checks will either be fake, on closed accounts or look like certified checks on non-existant banks. If you send the money out via western union and the check 'bounces' you will be out the money.
