5 Tips To Avoid Fake Internet Telecommute Jobs

There are tons of people who fall prey to fake internet telecommute jobs (a.k.a work from home) and if you're not careful you can be one of the victims. The mode of deception varies but these con artists share one common interest - to rob you of your money. The most difficult part of these kinds of deceptions is that you don't know who you're dealing with. Most of them operate online. You can't even see the person who hires you for the job. How would you be able to determine whether this is a con or the real thing?

This is the reason why before you even attempt to apply online, you need to be cautious whether the company you are sending your resume for is indeed a real company and not a bogus one! At least you will avoid becoming a victim of a con.

Recently, I fell prey to one of the oldest ones in the book. Had I been a bit more alert, I could have avoided this internet robbery. In an effort to help others, I've put together these five quick tips that can help avoid others from getting robbed.

Tip 1: First and foremost, make sure the Company is accredited and a member of the BBB. If this is a real company, they will post their credentials.

Tip 2: Make sure the company that hires you provides contact information, including website, physical address and working phone lines with a person on the other end answering.

Tip 3: Make sure all correspondence has legitimate company contact information that you can check on. If there is a website, click on the link to make sure it is active. If there is a phone number call it and make sure you talk to a person.

Tip 4: Enlist the help of banking professionals. Advise your bank branch of your new found employment. This will alert them immediately if anything comes in for deposit that looks suspicious.

Tip 5: Always wait at least 5 to 7 business days before withdrawing funds from monies received from your new employer to make sure the funds have cleared, in the event bank officials miss a catching a counterfeit note, you are not left covering the tab from your account.

This kind of job opportunity deception is like an art. Those who perfect the art of the con will succeed in ripping people off from their hard earned money. These five tips will help you spot the phonies and avoid getting robbed. Be alert, be wise and be safe!

How to Avoid Google Profit Programs and Find a Real Telecommuting Job

With the recent American economic down turn, all companies - from the local "Mom and Pop" grocery store to companies on the Fortune 500 list - are looking for ways to cut back on spending. One of the major resources at everyone's disposal is the Internet. More than ever, the large availability of high speed Internet access is not only feeding into the ever expanding global economy but also into creating opportunities for American companies to go nationwide.

The truth is that many companies have determined that employing telecommuters to work from home saves them more money than the cost of maintaining brick and mortar call centers. The functions that these call centers used to house - phone sales, sales verifications, customer service, customer satisfaction follow up calls - can all be successfully completed from the comfort of one's home.

This is good news for those of us who have either lost our jobs or are simply looking for ways to make ends meet. The problem is finding these jobs. If you turn to the Internet in an attempt to search out these job opportunities, you'll most likely find a veritable army of sales people trying to convince you to buy a range of programs "guaranteed" to make you a large income in a short period of time.

These programs are often nothing more than Google profit scams - programs that claim to have some "secret" to making you money for the low, low price of $300, $500, or any amount of money really. Generally these programs have different angles or packaging, but ultimately they are just explanations of how to use free Google programs to make money - AdSense, AdWords, or even basic search engine optimization tips.

Many of these Google profit scams have the same characteristics - very little detail on what the program actually is, lots of "personal" testimonies, and promises of making large amounts of money in short periods of time. A good rule of thumb is to never give your credit card number to a website without first understanding their cancellation and return policies, as well as knowing their customer service numbers. As long as you keep that in mind, you should be able to sidestep these bogus profit scams in favor of a real job that offers a regular paycheck.

One of the best ways to avoid these scams all together is to simply find companies who specialize in finding and hiring telecommuters for these various jobs. An example of this type of company would be Alpine Access, though they certainly aren't the only ones who work in this field. Recently ABC news did a story on this very topic, and they listed many companies who hire telecommuters for a variety of jobs.

If you decide that looking for one of these types of jobs is for you, then your best bet in actually finding one is not to search for a "work at home job" which will undoubtedly lead you to a host of Google profit scams, but rather to search for a company that provides these jobs, like Alpine Access or those companies referenced by ABC news. Happy hunting!
