You've had some additional expenses lately. Also, though,
you're enjoying your retirement, you've become a little restless with the free
time on your hands. After all, you led a very busy work life for many years—and
enjoyed it.
In reading various newspapers and magazines and “surfing the
Net,” you've noticed classified ads and listings for various jobs that sound
pretty easy and promise to bring in lots of money—all while you work from the
comfort of your home. Mostly, the jobs seems to involve such things as data
entry, stuffing envelopes, starting an online business, posting ads. Maybe it
would be a good idea to apply for one of these jobs?
No. it wouldn't! What usually happens with these “jobs” is
that you will be required to pay up front for training or equipment or “starter
kits.” Sometimes those up-front payments can be quite substantial, and such
expenditures are virtually certain to exceed any income that you derive from
the work. In short, the jobs will end up costing you money rather than earning
it for you.
Don't Become a Victim!
• If you have to pay up front for a job,
it's most likely a scam. You never will make the bundles of money promised.
• Always verify if a company offering you
work is legitimate. Check the company out with the Better Business Bureau.
• Notices for “Secret Shopper” jobs don't
say that you can work at home, but most of them are scams similar to the
“Work-at-Home” scams.
