One of the scams we have run into, advertises that if you send them their fee they will send you the kit tell you how to be successful in your work at home business. We sent in the money and when we received our "kit", it was basically the same ad. We were supposed to place the same advertisement only with our contact information and others would be sending us the money and so on. No thank you.

Most of these are just scams, but not all. I myself don't work with any of them but I have friends who do, they don't make a fortune but they seem to manage OK.

We would love to know which ones are legitimate. If you find out, please let us know. We are all doing the best we can to survive in this uncertain economy. Thanks.

I easily forgot to clear out my deleted/junk mail over the weekend and I woke up today to see over 600 emails that were all crude. I could guess that at least 200 were work at home scams alone, I really need to get off these lists but its about impossible.
