We have all seen it before right? The promise of earning more money by giving a company money to work with them. These scams come in a variety of packages and websites. The most common misconception is that multi-level marketing is a scam. While some multi-level marketing techniques are scams out their, there are still some legit work at home scams.

 I am a stay at home mother and I am currently looking for employment. In the city that I live, the job market is increasingly disappearing or they require you to have ridiculous qualifications for $7.50 an hour jobs. I decided to try some multi-level marketing companies and I have been continuously looking for employment online. Reading article after article, webpage from webpage and signing up for email subscriptions while continuously getting junk mail like there is no more tomorrow. Finally, I have given up and have gone back to the mundane way of job searching: Applying at every business possible while they are hiring or not. I am still searching for that job on the internet, but I have refused to put money down on any business because I have really no connections to websites, blogging and other tools to help you use these services over the internet.

The most common scams are most of the jobs that are posted in ads and throughout YouTube. Most of these videos that contain any hints on how to make money go through companies such as EZmoney.com, or whatever that website is called. These videos contain no referrals, no reviews and arejust simply an ad. Not giving you any information through the ad about the company. When you click on a link related to the website you usually pull up another rich quick scheme where someone posted a picture of them driving in a Ferrari or their multi-million dollar human claiming that by simply putting forth 150 dollars, you will be able to be rich in six weeks or however long it takes you to start your business.

Those are the scams. When you click on a link, regardless of what company it is or where the video/ picture came from, it usually shows a person driving a fancy yacht or having a nice new house and a picture of their family. They continuously say that they have the secrets to make money online and you can subscribe for free to their websites. That is another scam on how they get you into giving you their email address. Thinking that this may just be the most legit thing you could see if it is free and than once you get these emails, they start asking for a small fee
