Work-at-Home Scams On The Rise, How to Protect Yourself from CNN

CNN today reported that Work-at-Home scams are on the rise.  Given the state of the economy and unemployment rates, a record number of people are looking for jobs.  A small group, empowered by the internet, is taking advantage of unknowing job seekers. 

Beware of anything that job sites flag as "unconventional," "online oppurtunity," or "required initial investment."  Granted not all Work-at-Home oppurtunities are fake, however the majority are or offer unreasonably low compensation.
