    Internet work at home scams
    Is there a website that lists actual work at home scams, or , is there a website that lists legitimate work at home programs?

    In all honesty I doubt it, but you must always bear a few things in mind.
    If they are asking for an upfront fee, promise huge returns for little work or sound to good to be true, then they are most likely a scam.

    I know of a legitimate website out there were you can sign up and actually make money, they do require work though, it is not a get rich quick scheme. It is actually quite interesting, you sign up, and the membership site involves training for you so you can learn how to start your own online business, with all of this downloadable, sellable, software and information to help you get started. You can go from making money by the hour to making recurring money, in case you don't know recurring means that you work a bit and get paid monthly afterwards, once the money starts rolling in you don't really have to work anymore, unless of course you want to up your income you work a bit more and gain more. There isn't much risk involved, this also involves a team of people that will help to market your new website and you also will help others with their new websites.

    There are, but they are difficult to weed out. All the ones I've come across say they are a listing site either for online jobs or online job scams but they usually turn out to be just another advertisement for online get rich quick schemes.

    That reeks of Multi Level Marketing which never makes any money. I had an employee that was told he would be a multi-millionaire in 3 short years if he peddled this cookie cutter pyramid scheme website. It's been over 3 years - he never made a dime and has people avoid him now.

    Here's a good site WAHM.com The Online Magazine for Work at Home Moms

    It tells you how to avoid scams, etc.
