Hi just wonderd if anyone could help- I am thinking of joining a 'work from home' website to earn some extra cash, how do I find out which ones are genuine and which just want to take my joining fee?

You don't need to pay a joining fee to work from home.

Get a computer, phone line, headset, an account on peopleperhour and elancer, and away you go

BEWARE THIS ONE

I know you are all saying that if it looks to good to be true then it is.

I was made redundant last year and I am now awaiting a hip op I have been made to come off my benfits and go into a WRAG by the ESA it means even though I am housebound I still need to attempt to do some kind of work for at least 15 hrs per week.

I was researching working from home and I ended up on what I believed to be a endorsed site by the BBC The Telegraph Sky News, so I did not pick up this was a scam as I have never attempted to use the internet in this way I am one of the MUGs you all seem to be referring to as I have signed up for this my question would be isnt this illegal and shouldnt the networks that this company are protraying to AS SEEN ON be contacting google yahoo and putting him off the top search blocks that he has obviously paid for to be there in the first place and why have the television stations not alerted people to the scam not everyone is fluent in internet procedures and I dont even receive spam emails as I have my internet security set so tight, I have asked for my money back but we will wait and see. The product they give you also has you endorsing a EBOOK by a well know diet product saying you have helped millions of people lose wait using these methods described in the ebook and it was at this point i started to ask questions. If so many of us out here are discussing this shouldn't we all be doing something about it I will be highlighting it on all my social network blogs I am not embarrassed I fell for it I am more sad that as eveyone else seems to know about the scam no one thought to tell me!!!

I didn't see anybody calling you (Or the OP) a mug Evie. But I can see where both you, and those who do say this are coming from. For those of us who have used the internet for years and are familiar with the daily barrage of spam "you have won (insert country) lottery" emails, and "make ££££££££££££££ per day sitting at home in your pajamas" banner ads on seemingly every website, this stuff is just common sense. But there are users who are unfamiliar with this type of scammery, either because they are new to the internet, or simply because they are too trusting to realise that there are people out there who dedicate themselves to creating scams to con others out of their money. It's very, very sad when someone gets caught out by them, and even worse when it's somebody that can least afford it.

The old adage is generally true - if it seems too good to be true, then it probably is. If you're unsure, there's always MSE to put you straight
