Beware of "work from home" scams that promise the earth and deliver nothing!

    A "scams" thread on it's own isn't necessarily a good idea, because not everybody knows that the email/website/whatever they're looking at IS a scam.

    A scam warning needs to go on the board that is most relevant, yes?

    For example, this warning about work from home scams would be useless on the "praise vents and warnings" board, because it needs to reach those people who are most likely to be looking for a way to up their income, and therefore looking at THIS particular board.

    If a mod disagrees and would prefer that future scam warnings go in one particular place, of course I'll be happy to oblige. I am but a humble guest.
