• Make sure you know about the company. The company is not employing or hiring you directly, but they are about to sell you training and materials media (those resources are freely available over the internet, they just gathered and packed them together) and they can not guarantee they can bring customers to your business at home.
  
• Don’t think you can make big money from home easily. Home-based business is just like any other type of business, it requires hard works, knowledges, skills, good products and services, and it takes time to make real profit.
  
• Advertising emails about work-at-home opportunities. Most of those unsolicited emails are scam.
  
• Know all the informations of the company before you go. A legitimate company will give you all the informations you need about their business and they will let you know exactly what you will be working on.
  
• Do a research to see if your home business will really make profits from the niche market. Any claim that there are customers for your business may not be true. You have to research the real market to see for yourself. Especially if the company is saying that they have customers waiting for you.
  
• Google to find out what any other informations about the company.
  
• Be aware of legal requirements. Some types of home business required you to have a license or certificate. Make sure you have checked with your state attorney general’s office and search on the local zoning board to see if there are any restrictions. Some types of business could not be done at home under federal law. Refer to the phone book for the U.S. Department of Labor.
  
• Find their refund policy. If you have to buy something, ask the company if there is any restriction on returning goods and requesting a refund. Make sure you read every sentence of their Refund Policy.
  
• Beware of these most common scams:
  
  • Envelope stuffing. This is one of the most popular scams. You won't be stuffing envelopes. What you'll be asked to do is place the same advertisement as you responded to, to scam other people. In this classic scam, instead of getting materials to send out on behalf of a legitimate company, you are introduced to ask other people that you know (your family, your friends, etc) to send you money for information about working at home. This is an illegal pyramid scheme because there is no real product or service being offered. You won’t get rich, and you could be prosecuted for fraud.
  • Email Processors. Email processing is the e-version of envelope stuffing. Typically, you pay a fee of between $15-$60 and then person 1 sends you your 'information kit'. This typically tells you how to take the exact same advertisement you replied to and send it out by email or on newsletters to convince others to send you the same money. The biggest danger of the email processing scam happens if a company convinces you to buy a list of email addresses from them and send emails for "Email Processors Wanted" to those email addresses. Generally the lists are either worthless or even worse have been collected by unethical means. And if you send emails to the list you could possible get fined in the tens of thousands of dollars or more and even face criminal prosecution and jail time.
  • Home Typists/Ad Typists (also Order Taker/Application Taker). There are lots of home typist positions that are perfectly legitimate, but these never ask you for a fee and they are also rarely advertised online. Don't get suckered by ads that promise home typing work that require a fee. The truth is, if you sign on with any of these companies and hoping to be employed as an ad typist, home typist, or independent typist, you will not be hired as an "employee" of the company as their advertisements. These companies actually operate an affiliate program, and once you pay to join, your success with the program will depend upon your knowing how to market affiliate programs. They are another type of the email processor scam. To make matters worse, they publish testimonials of income earned by experienced internet marketers, but do not disclose this fact. This gives the newcomer the false impression that one has the potential to earn hundreds of dollars per week, having no prior experience, by simply "typing ads."
  • Assemble Crafts (or Electronics) at home. There are perfectly legitimate craft/assembly companies that do pay their home-based workers. Unfortunately, they are very hard to find. Most of them will be asking you to pay any amount from $100 to $500 for a test kit. You will then be sent something to assemble that, no matter how brilliantly done, will never meet their so-called quality standards. The materials are intentionally inferior and the quality of the materials makes no difference whatsoever. Because they aren't IN the business of making and selling this crap. They are in the business of selling the unassembled crap to you.
  • Lists of companies that hire home-based workers. Many people get scammed into buying lists that promise hundreds of companies that are just waiting to hire you to work from home. The simple reality is that these lists are often just compiled from the telephone book and many of the companies on them, if the companies exist at all, don't know they're on such a list. And, the real kicker: Most of these companies don't even hire home-based workers. There are legitimate companies that hire home-based worker online, but the list are totally free for you to review. http://edition.cnn.com/2007/LIVING/12/20/companies.wah/ read this article on CNN for more informations.
  • List of companies that pay you money for reading books. This list contains publishers who pay to have individuals review their manuscripts. As with the lists right before, you can find this information for free on the internet yourself. And yes, it is true! Some publishing companies pay people to review manuscripts, they will advertise these positions carefully. They are not typically happy about receiving unsolicited resumes. So dont pay any fee to join this program. Or buy any list of companies that are paying you to read the books. Because you can find those companies on the internet by yourself!
  • $10 Chain Letter. If you’ve ever seen the $10 Chain Letter in your Inbox, you’ve experienced a pyramid scheme up close and personal. For only $10, you can make thousands or so, promised by the letter. A simple rule: Avoid all chain letters. This is one letter you’ll want to avoid like the plague because it is totally illegal!
  • Paid Surveys: This is the most common scam. These bogus surveys site may advertise that you will get multiple streams of income, earn $2000-$5000 a month or a week, just to answer a few surveys and questions. But at first, they ask you to pay for a membership fee in order to participate. If you pay a membership fee to join a paid surveys, they’ll then be providing you with list of online survey sites that you could’ve found easily over the Internet… Just do a search on Google, Yahoo or LiveSearch for "home get paid surveys", "home make money surveys" or similar keywords.

• Beware of company claims to be sending you an advance of your payment. Some scam artists use this to gain your trust and get money from your bank. They send you a check as part of your first month salary. You deposit it, and the bank tells you the check has cleared because the normal time has passed to be notified that checks have bounced. Then the crook contacts you to say that you are qualified to receive the second bigger check (maybe 10 times the amount of first check). And to claim it you need to send a portion of the first payment. After you send the money, the check that you deposited finally bounces because it is an elaborated fake one. Now the crooks have your money, and you’re left owing your bank the amount that you withdrew.
• Research about work from home jobs. The “Work from Home book” and other resources are available in your local library and on the internet. You will find good advice and lists of legitimate companies.

Summary: When a real company is hiring at any position, whether it is work from home or in their office, they will always have to see your resume, and probably want references. And they would like to see samples of your work, and ofcourse they will communicate with you by phone before they accept your resume. If the company doesn't ask for any of these, be warned! And, if they ask for your money upfront, just stay away! A real company would NEVER EVER ask you for your money in order to work for them!
