1. Find out how you can get 1 million people to send you $5:

I can't believe this scam is still floating around, even though it's one of the most illegal pyramid scams ever.

The Ad reads like this:

Find out how you can get 1 million people to send you $5. Send a S.A.S.E (Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope) and a $5 Bill to *blank*

All you receive from the seller is instructions in your envelope to list the exact same ad that you purchased from. No product ever changes hands, but you do learn how to scam other people. This type of moneymaking method is known as a pyramid scheme. TO find out more about pyramid schemes and why they suck keep a look out for my pyramid scheme guide.

2. Necklace/Bracelet Making From Home:

These sound great, and actually seem like they're for real, and the reason they can stay afloat even though they're clearly a scam is that the companies have enough people to vouch for them and they keep documentation of the inferior products sent in by their members.

Here's the scam:

A company either advertises their service or send you a letter offering you a slot into a company that has limited spaces available, which is the first lie they hit you with. They then offer you a discount rate at which you can buy supplies by becoming a member in a certain amount of time. That's lie number 2... no matter when you sign up, you still receive the supplies at a "great discount". They also tell you how easy it is to make the necklaces/bracelets. Which is lie number 3. The product is extremely hard to make, even with the detailed (sorry... bad photocopied) instructions... Lie #4. Once you've paid $80 for $10 in materials you receive a kit explaining how to make the product and how many you could make in a day if you put your mind to it... a number in the range of 15-25 a day... Lie #5, I don't think it's possible to make more than 2 or 3 a day. And the biggest lie of all (Lie #6) is that they tell you that 90% of all submissions are accepted. Even though I've never met a single person who has ever had a bracelet or necklace approved.

Avoid these at all costs... they aren't worth the paper they are printed on.

3. Other Crafts from Home:

Just like the bracelet scam, but this one seems like a sure thing. The ad states just how easy it is to make the felt bear, cat, or cowboy hat. After paying a $125 fee you receive a guide that can be found on any craft website, and a list of the supplies you need to purchase to make this successful. They say that they reimburse you for the supplies but in my experience, they decline enough bears to cover the supply and shipping costs and pay you $4 for all other bears. The main problem is that with the cost of supplies, the bear cost $4.50 to make.

4. Work From Home Guides:

I came across the following scams in a great guide known as the Canadian Work From Home Opportunity Guide, and have now been noticing them in newspapers and newsletters everywhere I go.

I sent out three separate money orders to receive the guide, and finally after my 3rd $40 money order was cashed, my guide showed up in the mail.

I'm not saying that work from home guides aren't legit, just make sure there is a way you can contact the company before you send payment, and always ask questions first. $120 later and I had a cheap and useless scammers guide.

5. Overnight Millionaire Programs:

I'm not saying that Overnight millionaire programs don't exist, because people have proven that is is possible to make millions in a short amount of time.  But you have to be willing to work to make these programs/ideas work.  If you're looking for a get rich quick scheme that you don't have to work at you are guaranteed to fail.

I hope you've enjoyed this guide. Please contact me with any questions, comments, or other work from home scams I could add to this guide.
