1. Be wary of promises of big profits for little effort. A home-based business is like any other requiring dedication, skill, good products or services and a bit of patience.
2. Make sure there really is a market for the work you're offered. Don’t take at face value all the sales material you are given for the particular opportunity..
3. Get all the details before parting with your money. A company worth its salt will be more than happy to supply them. In addition, other people affiliated with the company will be able to supply references, but make sure they’re offering independent, unbiased advice.
4. Beware of unsolicited emails or offers to send you an advance on your “pay”. A lot of fraudsters use this tactic to build trust. They ask you for some of the money they paid you to be returned saying that what they gave you was the wrong amount. When you refund the money, they dash with your cash. A few days later, the cheque (usually a passable fake) bounces, leaving you owing the bank the amount you withdrew and your “employer” nowhere to be found.
5. Make sure the company you're dealing with intends to hire you directly rather than giving you some basic training materials to use on clients you find yourself
