The Great Work At Home Scam

July 14th, 2010

“I’ve gotten so lazy that all that I want to do is work at home. I don’t want to do any work at all but I still want to make money. I mean, I still have to pay the bills. I’m a fairly intelligent person. I should be able to find some way to stay at home and make money. What to do…

Let’s see. Well, I’ve noticed this thing called the internet. Didn’t I read somewhere that the internet is an untapped market? Isn’t it the new frontier? Maybe I’ll start looking around.”

The above thoughts were mine a few years ago. I started looking around the internet for these work at home or telecommuting opportunities. One of the first things that I noticed is that these work at home opportunities seemed too good to be true. I was bombarded with such things as:

“$200 to $1000 per day. No experience necessary. Direct deposit to your bank.”“Medical billing at home. Start your medical billing career. Free info.”“Legitimate work at home opportunities. Start today. Accepting applications in your area.”

Now I’m a suspicious person by nature. I can pretty much see through the (well you know.) I clicked on a number of these links presented to me to read up on these wondrous opportunities. The websites that these links took me to were brilliant. Great big letters telling me I can be making big money just by using their system, software, service, and more. I was told about the Johnson family’s yacht and million dollar mansion. They got it just by working at home.

I think that you can see the trend here.

Yes there are some legitimate work at home jobs out there. You just need to be careful and not fall for the “Great Work at Home Scam.” As the owner of a free job board I have come across all kinds of scams like the ones noted above.

Here are some of the things to look for to identify these scams:There is no such thing as “typing at home” or “data entry at home” jobsAbout 95% of the jobs that claim to be home typist or home data entry jobs are scams. The so called “employer” reels you in by posts on free job boards or forums. The post typically will mention a one time materials fee or instruction manual fee. After you pay this fee (if the instructions do arrive) you are instructed to copy and paste the same message in forums and free job boards but request the money be sent to you instead. It is a perpetual scam because many people feel like they want their money back and the only way to get it back is to try the system. It’s not worth the time or the money. You’ll be spending the majority of your day trying to find forums or job boards that will let you post these scams and the rest of your day avoiding angry emails.

What is the email address for the employer?Is it myemail @ gmail.com or myemail324 @ yahoo.com? These work at home scam artists don’t want give out their real email address so they use free email accounts given out by some of the major search engines. If they start getting nasty emails requesting their money back they simply get rid of one email address and get another one. An email address like myemail@mycompany.com where “mycompany” is a company that you may have heard of is probably a legitimate email.

Does the employer have a website?Having a website doesn’t give legitimacy to the employer. Having a website with a valid way to contact them, a frequently asked questions section, and a professional looking layout does help to boost confidence in their opportunity. Send an email to the email address listed on the contact page or via the contact form. Did you get a response in a timely manner? Did they answer your concerns? Does it sound fishy? If you have any apprehension at all you should steer clear.

Why does the employer need my money?Doesn’t this sound absurd? Well it really is. Employers should pay you money. This should trigger your spider sense from the beginning. Never give an employer money unless you are absolutely sure that it is for a legitimate cause. If you feel that it is for a valid reason, see if the employer will accept a check. When you write a check and mail it you have at least a couple of days to stop payment. If they don’t accept a check; why? A simple rule of thumb is you should be making money not paying money.

I really, really want to work at home. What can I do?As I stated before there are some legitimate work at home opportunities. These are typically freelance positions where you are hired as a contractor and where you use your existing skills such as drafting, programming, graphics design, sign making, knitting, etc. These are tangible skills that you can use to market yourself to employers that do hire contractors or off site employees. Search out these types of employers and you won’t have to worry about getting caught up in the “great work at home scam.”

The Bite of Camel Spiders Represents No Great Threat to Your Health

July 2nd, 2010

To some, camel spiders seem the boogie men of the Middle East, but from a scientific point of view, there is absolutely no justification for the myths and stories that consider this species a real monster and a threat to humans. The exaggerations related to camel spiders are explained by their large size, but what most people don’t know is that they are not actually spiders, but a different type of arachnids more like the scorpions actually. They have no venom, and they simply kill their prey by cutting it, which, as a matter of fact, makes them less dangerous than many spiders and scorpions. The bite of camel spiders represents no great threat to the general health condition, unless it gets infected.The only variety of venomous camel spiders grows in India, but research is pretty scarce in the field. Apparently, the Indian camel spiders can hunt down lizards by injecting them with venom and paralyzing their movements. One of the natural enemies of the camel spiders, the scorpions are very likely to lose a fight against this giant arachnid. Due to the extended size, the camel spiders are able to cut down the sting of the scorpion and make it harmless. The male camel spiders are smaller than the females, particularly since the latter will eat a lot before hatching. They need to accumulate some “fat” in order to be able to resist without food during the period when they have to guard the eggs. The easy way to distinguish between males and females is not just body size, but also the length of the articulated feet. One other peculiarity of the camel spiders consists in the presence of several pairs of eyes grouped on various body parts. Thus, they may look more like spiders, but the visual accuracy is considered superior by many researchers.Camel spiders are more likely to hunt at night; they are nocturnal creatures that enjoy shady environment even if they mainly live in warm and arid climates. The preference for shade is the actual explanation of the impression lots of people got that the spiders may be attacking them. The human body represents a corner of shade, which will surely attract the spiders; this is the only explanation for the fact that these creatures get closer to humans in a variety of circumstances. Otherwise, they will not attack an opponent that is larger than themselves, and will not bite unless provoked.
