A short time ago, I heard David Horowitz say that in the 30+ years he's been a consumer advocate, he has *never* seen a work at home opportunity advertised that was not a scam.

I spent 3 years working at home. There are three ways I've found to get an honest "work at home" job:

1. Start your own legitimate business.
2. Ask your employer if you can do your current job at home.
3. Use your existing experience and skill set to get a new job in which they will let you work at home.

Basically, it all depends on you to find the work. Don't count on someone on the internet or in a newspaper to set you up with a real job you can do from your house.

I now work in an office, and have the option to work at home if I wanted. Working at home is not all it's cracked up to be.

:$ That's a good price!!! I think I'll take that information! I've sent you a check, it should be there within 3-4 days. Although I kinda need the information now, so please tell me.

You have to send me your full name and adress.
After that i will go to the UPS store and leave the package there for you.I
will give them your name and adress and the package for you.
They will verify the product to see that everything is ok.Also the legal
papers.
After that they will send you an email containing a payment verification
form.
You will have to fill that form.
You must go to an Western Union Office and make a deposit on the amount we
agreed on my name.And then fill the form from UPS with the details about the
payment (MTCN, name and so on.)
UPS will verify if the money is deposited on my name at Western Union and if
everything checks they will send you the laptop.
After the laptop arrives to you if you are fully satisfied with it and
everything is ok you will notify UPS that all is ok and only then they will send me
the details of the payment so that i can collect my money.
This is the safest way for the both of us.
Let me know if still interested as soon as posible.

Addicted is like me. I go away for a long time, then start back up on GA forums, post like crazy for three days. Find myself being torn away from my everyday life, and then I have to withdraw myself from the site again after posting fifty times in one hour.

Ya, I do not like working at home. I liek working at a real workplace. less ditractions, better frame of mind. I would choose working at work way over working at home.

I tried a work at home scheme a long time ago. I called this toll free number, and they told me to send in like 35 bucks for more information, so I did. They sent me this pamphlet with all this information about different businesses that needed assembling from home. Most required a deposit to send you unassembled homely crap...Teddy bear ornaments, minuature elves, kleenex box crochet doileys with bunneys on them, etc. You were supposed to send all the stuff back and then they would give you your deposit back plus the assembling fee. They would have probably kept the deposit money.

I try to look at the bright side...at least I only lost 35 bucks.
