We all know most work at home opportunities are scams, especially when they ask you to pay up front. My question is, has anyone at all ever made any money with anything that asked them to pay up front first? In other words, are there ANY legitimate "work at home pay first" schemes at all?
I talk too much. Should have left it at this: Has any real person EVER in Recent history made any money at all on a "pay first" work at home scheme?

You will get lots of scammers here, please don’t fall prey. However, at the same time, please don’t listen to the people saying they are ALL SCAMS. They are not ALL scams, just MOST of them are! Additionally, READ THIS ANSWER FAST because all the scammers will flag very quickly in hopes to remove it in order to hide the truth from you so they can scam you more easily. Seriously, they will! I am a single mom of 2 girls who has tried over 15 opportunities in the course of 3 years so I have some great information for you on how to find a LEGIT way to work from home plus a list of top 10 work at home scams! (this list is why they flag this)
People are looking for work from home and the biggest problem is they don’t understand that there really are NO WORK AT HOME JOBS. You will not find hourly pay from home. You can look forever, you’ll never find it. The only way to earn an income from home is to find a legit home business.
Small home businesses have increased in the last 5 years by about 200%. People are really starting to realize that if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. The best home businesses to start are those with a proven plan in place like Avon or Mary Kay however if you are like me, you are not interested in pushing products.
Legitimate small home businesses should have a small costs involved but be careful, all the scams will be charging too so know the business. Talk to a REAL person and ask questions. Less than $500 to start is reasonable and I would stay away from those wanting $1000-$5000. If you are coming across places that say free then I would RUN don’t walk the other way! They never are in the end.
After trying 15 things, I now work about 20-25 hours per week for a well known and respected company with amazing credentials. This company actually helps keep Americans Safe and Secure by offering Medical and Dental plans as well as things like roadside assistance, credit repair and National Child ID in partnership with the FBI. We also help Americans stay safe and save money! Americans have saved over 1 BILLION dollars with these plans.
I started with this company 3 years ago and started making $500 a month within only a few months. That income has increased now to over $3000 a month which has been a blessing for my family. The best part is they have 401(k), direct deposit, life insurance and a benefits package from day one.
There are NO products, NO hard selling or pushing, NO cold calling, NO home parties and NO telemarketing! That was VERY important to me. The neat thing is there are other people on your team that you work with so you are never alone even though you’re at home.
I was a bit apprehensive at first because a lot of companies are not legit but this company’s credentials FAR SURPASSED any other home business I had ever seen. SOME of their NATIONAL partners and credentials are National Association of Dental Plans, US Chamber of Commerce, Parent Magazine, US News and World Report and Dozens of Fortune 500 companies like Sears, Target, Walmart and Lenscrafters. They are currently seen on WeTV, Lifetime and Oxygen. Most important, they are partnered with the FBI on one of our plans that helps American’s protect their children. This company also has an “A” rating with the BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU!
No matter what you decide, AVOID these top 10 work at home scams.
10. Craft Assembly
9. Medical Billing
8. Email/Rebate Processing
7. "A List of Companies Looking for Home workers!"
6. "Just pay for and take this class first” Then we’ll give or find you a job!
5. Envelope Stuffing
4. "Turn Your Computer Into a Money-Making Machine!"
3. Pyramid Schemes (this is NOT the same as Multi-Level Marketing MLM)
2. Chain Letters/Emails
1. Typing At Home / Data Entry (The biggest scam out there. 100% of them are scams!)
As for those of you who say: ”I want to work from home but I don’t want to have to pay for anything”. Well, that’s great! But it’s not realistic. Let’s be honest, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If it is a true honest legitimate home business, you need to expect to pay a little something. Mr. Walt Disney didn’t start the Disney empire “without paying for anything”. Neither did Mr. Sam Walton, owner of Wal-Mart.
