Tips on how to tell a scam from a legitimate work from home opportunity – Part 5
9) Be thorough and read everything on their website very carefully. If they’re unclear about exactly what you will receive or would be expected to do, that’s a sign that they’re trying to hide something. Be on the look out for disclaimers and the “fine print.”
10) You’ve seen them before, those Google Adsense ads (sometimes just text ads or banner ads) that advertise a link which promotes work at home jobs. They’re everywhere. I’m betting there are a few right next to this blog post that you’re reading, right?

They’d probably use something like Craig’s List or CareerBuilder.com if they were looking for free advertising of a job opportunity.
11) Bottom line? Just use your common sense!
