I was like you. I heard what you exactly heard that you could get a lot of money while you are sitting comfortable at your home. Very nice, only what I need to click here and there, do some of simple tasks online from my computer and that is it. No effort, no boss, just I need to sit and wait my paycheck. I had a dream to have a business that can give him a huge amount of money without doing any effort. This is an illusion. There is nothing like that. Work from home and online business is not an exception. They need a lot of experience and knowledge in online marketing to make a real profitable online business. In fact, the illusion that many have about online business as a passive source of income and does not need any effort makes them become victims to scams of fraud companies. They lose their money and efforts in fraud online businesses without getting anything. After this loss, they recognize that it was a scam.

People who look for online business and ‘work from home’ jobs are either low income who wish to increase their income; or unemployed who think that online business or work from home will be a good source of income. I know some people who really became rich from engaging in online business. Remember facebook , twitters, digg or paypal are only successful websites. However, I know more people who lost their money trying to establish their online business.

I cannot assume that in this short article I can tell you everything on scams in online business and work from home because every few days we have many of these websites and each one has its way to scam people. But I can share with you famous examples of such scams:

-Paid to click(PTC) : These are companies that pay you when you click on their ads. Some of these companies are real companies but those that offer you a few bucks for a click on an ad are a clear scam. They only try to push you to pay some fees to upgrade your membership promising you getting more profit. Real companies pay you a cent or less for a click and even those, some of them are scams.

-Craft assembly: Those scam companies promise to pay you to assemble some toys and other things. They ask you to buy their kits and then whatever you do will never reach their standards or specifications. Clear scam!

-Ideas and inventors support: Those claim that they help you to invest your good ideas and help you reach famous companies and get huge profit from that. You only need to pay the processing fees which you will never see
