    Want to know which system I use to earn not just 1 income stream but 5? Click here to see it!


    For a lot of people, especially now in the financial crises around the world, there is a need and dream to be their own boss and working at home without having to worry about layoffs from their current jobs. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there who are taking advantage of this situation and want to take advantage of people like you who are desiring to find the right work at home based business opportunity.


    Getting the right information is critical for you in order to learn how to avoid these scams and to be able to find the right business for you at home.


    Here is a small yet effective list of some of the scams that are out there and are the ones that you do want to avoid.


    Stuffing Envelopes for pay - This particular scheme has been around for a while and doesn't want to go away. The advertisement will tell you that you can earn between $5-$15 per envelope that you will stuff. They will also tell you that you can earn a nice full time income from home. What ever you do, don't fall for this scheme.


    Pyramid Schemes - The idea behind an illegal pyramid scheme is that the people at the top of the list will get your money and then you will bring people under you and they will give you their money too. The more people you bring in, the better. A Pyramid Schemes is not like MLM. In MLM there are REAL products moving around and MLM is a legitimate business recognized in well over 100+ countries around the world. In Pyramid Schemes, there are no products what so ever and it is illegal.


    Assembly Jobs - If you come across an ad that promises you to earn money for assembling parts then it is a scam because you are not going to get these parts unless you order them and pay for them. This is another scam that is out there so be careful.


    So you will need to avoid these scams. Also, be careful when you go online. There are thousands upon thousands of people and websites who are waiting for desperate people like you who are looking to get out of the rat race. They will scam you, take your money, and run away.

    Aren't MLM and pyramid schemes the same? I have done pretty well with them in the past.

    There is no shortcut to whatever success or goal that we are pursuing. Scams still exist today because people want things the easy way, they want to make the quick buck and that is why a lot of them get scammed.

    I think people just need to remember that nothing comes easy in life. If you want something, you have definitely have to put in sweat and hard work.

    I remember when I was starting out I used to see loads of these plastered all over websites promising to make you rich overnight. It's a shame people actually buy into these scams and end up losing money and never starting internet marketing at all.

    It's ridiculous how many people fall for these scams! It seems that no one uses their wits to pick out a legitimate item from an outright scam. I mean, 1 million dollars in 22 days? Absolutely ridiculous.
