Home Based Computer Jobs?

Computer based jobs at home?

• Does anyone know of jobs I could do from my computer at home and get paid? I am caring for my husband who had a stroke and need to work at home.

• Answer:

  Generally speaking there are just no such thing as online jobs that you can do from home. These are almost all scams and the people that encourage you to do them and tell you how much money they have made, are all a part of the scam. The scam may be selling things, data entry or other similar ploys. Remember that data entry has been made obsolete by Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software which can read that characters in a document and translate those into text for you. Re-typing information is completely outdated and unneeded. Cut and paste jobs fall into the same category. The same goes for gifting businesses. Many of these opportunities require some kind of up front registration fee and that should be your first clue to problems. They are all designed to take your money or to take your personal information. With that information they can steal your personal identity and empty your bank account. I can't think of any more diabolical scam than to give people, like single parents hope that they are going to make some money and then dash those hopes by giving them nothing but empty promises. Also, scamming teenagers who are trying to help their families or trying to earn a few dollars of spending money is about as low as you can go, in my book. Your best bet is to look for legitimate jobs with known local companies. Some of those local companies will allow you to work as a virtual employee for a part or all of your hours but that is usually only after you have worked there for a while and proven yourself as a trusted employee. Best Wishes!
