    This scam has been around forever it seems, and don't worry, it's still as popular as ever to those who don't know about it. You typically answer an ad that looks something like this:

    It sounds very appealing doesn't it? What an easy way to make a living. But what is the real story. You will most likely be required to send in $20 -$40 for a kit to get started. Usually, you'll get nothing in return and that's the end of the scam. But, if you do get something back it will tell you to pl

    ce small classified ads (like the one you responded to) and use your address to collect money from the next batch of unsuspecting people. The cycle continues.

    Or, you may actually get some materials and send out mailings, thinking you will be getting a check, only to find out that you didn't do them properly and there will be no ch

    Get Paid To Surf Companies

    Here is a favorite Internet scam that has been going around for a number of years. The idea is that you get paid to click on various website

    Get Paid To Take Surveys Online

    This sounds like an enjoyable home business. Take a survey every day, express your opinion, and get paid for it. Let's look a little closer at how it really works.

They will usually email you a list of surveys every day to look over. What you will then find out is that you are not qualified to take 95% o
    nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically
    them, so it can take a while before you even get qualified for one survey. Next, when you do take a survey the company will most likely pay you with "credits". It may be something like 25 credits for each completed survey. Then, when you have for example, 500 credits, you can redeem them for cash, generally around $10-$20 per 500 c

    Mystery Shopper

    This business opportunity sounds really cool. You get to go out shopping at a retail store or eating at a restaurant and get paid for it after providing a review of the experience. It sounds great, so what's the catch?

    The number of assignments are few and far in between, and unless you live in a major metropolitan area your chances of getting any assignments are zero. If you make $25 a month, consider yourself lucky.

    Get Paid To Read Emails

    One of the biggest scams on the Internet are the get paid to read em

    Internet Research

    This is more like a job than a home business, but I wanted to include it nonetheless. As an Internet researcher your job is to search the web for information and provide it to the company paying you. Sounds easy enough, but there is mu

    As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

You will also need to have excellent search engine skills. Finally, the pay is not good. If you're lucky enough to land one of these projects you may get paid $20 for an entire days work. Not e

    Home Assembly Companies

    I saved the best (or worst as I should call it) for last. Perhaps the worst scams to be found anywhere are home assembly companies. They have been scamming people for many years now and continue to do so. Here is how it works.

    You answer an ad and get sent a letter in the
    y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products
    mail. The letter contains instructions on getting started making small crafts and sending them in to the company for approval and payment. You will need to purchase a materials kit from the company that can cost from $20 up to $75 or more in some cases. You could easily buy these materials for a much cheaper cost at Wal-Mart, but yo

    As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de
    must buy them from the company. You may also be required to pay an up-front registration fee to set you up in their system.

    When you complete your first project and send it in you will be credited with the cost of your kit along with payment if you have been approved. And that is where the scam begins. You will never have your wor
    elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements.

    Companies that provide selfless information through particip
    approved! It doesn't matter if you followed every instruction to the letter, you will never be paid. You will receive a letter from the company telling you that your work was not approved no matter what. All of these home assembly companies sound good from reading the ads, but the truth is they are scams. Don't give them your money
