The Work at Home Scam Blog

I’ve received quite a few comments on my post about Payment Processing Jobs from people with first-hand experience with these scams. To say this type of con is alive and well is an understatement.

Most of the commenters were people who were considering taking such a job, but once they became better informed, decided against it. But some of them unfortunately had taken such a job and ended up in the middle of a very large mess. They found themselves holding the bag when all of the paper trails led to them. Not a good place to be when all you were trying to do is make a little money to support yourself without hurting anyone else.

I found a good resource for anyone who finds himself in a similar situation. It’s a section over at FraudAid.com that goes over the best things to do to protect your good name, avoid jail, and get on with your life if this happens to you. So if this is happening to you or someone you care about, thoroughly read The Fraud Victim’s Manual.

Fraud Aid is a non-profit victim advocacy organization, and they have some great information on their site. If you’re looking for a home job, it might be a good idea to bookmark it.
