Hey Lori,

Thanks for sharing we actually have an article about this type of scam listed here:
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/2007/10/16/fake-checks-wire-transfer-scams-fakechecksorg-fights-back/

You should also be aware of the reshipping scam that pops up a lot on craigslist:

Craigslist is a great place to find jobs but you just need to know how to your research and even when you do the scam artist are smart enough to use legitimate company’s name. But it’s easy to spot they aren’t that legitimate company because when you do contact that legitimate company they probably won’t even know of the person you’re asking about who is the scammer posing as an employee.

The other thing is no matter what the scammer says, even if they said God sent them I always know they’re a scam if they mention cashing checks, money orders, wiring money or shipping packages. Once I start hearing any mention of that then I know it’s garbage. Unfortunately they won’t really mention that stuff until after you’ve emailed them or gone through some fake interview.

But the best way to avoid the scams is to be in the know of the common scams and you’ll be able to sniff through any of the variations like I do. So be sure to study the rest of the scams on our scam page:

Beware of any ads on Craigslist that are looking for an assistant to a regional operations manager! I dumbly responded was asked to do an interview via yahoo messenger and like a dummy did. Then the corker! They wanted me to purchase a different laptop from their vendor. When I told them I did not have that kind of funds laying around they decided to send me the money. A cashiers check came by UPS I took it to my bank and they verified it. Guess what? It was a fraud and was the third one one that account that week. Needless to say I didn’t deposit the check and I made a fool of myself. These people claim they are with Global Finance based in Greece but when you insist on speaking to someone they tell you the main office is in Maylasia! Please be careful out there! There are still good people in the world you just have to look for them. God Bless! Eddy thank you for your good works! You truly are an angel

No worries. I know folks need that tough talk sometimes to realize when something terrible is going to happen.

Just because something doesn’t charge a fee doesn’t mean it’s not a scam. Read all the comments in my package forwarding and fake check cashing scam page and you’ll see many examples of this happening every day:

Follow your instincts and ignore this company. There is absolutely no reason to take a risk with a work at home company when there are so many proven ones we’ve already researched and listed for you:

Always follow your instincts!

I was just given a work at home assignment. I didn’t pay a penny to the company but I’m skeptical. I can’t find anything on them or about them, their phone doesn’t work and the emails bounce. This to me is a Flag, but since I don’t have to pay them anything to review telemarketers,,,,,what are they getting out of this? The job is Administration/Data Entry, it suppose to take 2.5 hours and they send me a check or pay me via pay pal, or money order…and they claim they will pay me $150.00 for 2.5 hrs of work.
Thanks Mel

I don’t know who this Eddie Salomon is but I do know Eddy Salomon tends to be on top of clixsense because I provide a lot of value on my site. LOL If you help people achieve their goals and are honest, they’ll always be very happy to sign up for legitimate programs you recommend. So that’s how you boost your business. The more you read this blog, the more of this you’ll see and why I’ve been very successful. Knowing internet marketing helps tremendously as well. lol

Thanks for the kind words. Good luck.
