I recently caught an interview with a woman named Pam Dixon, who wrote “Online Jobs For Dummies”, which deals with home-based online jobs. She said that most of the listings for online jobs from home are SCAMS. So as the Sergeant on ‘Hill Street Blues’ used to say, “Let’s be careful out there”.

She said that offers to do online jobs from home involving accounting or finance are sure-fire signals of a scam. I assume because only higher-level employees would be trusted with that kind of data.

She offered that the best way to potentially land an online job is to approach a company that does the type of work you’re interested in, and ask if they allow their employees to work from home. This allows you to find a job before they actually list it.
