Work at Home Offers
Avoiding Web Frauds & Scams
You’ve seen the ads, “Assemble Products at Home” or “$1 for Every

only to “Get out of debt” and “Credit repair.”
Perhaps the cardinal rule of purchasing anything online is, don’t send
money upfront without knowing exactly what you’re getting and exactly who
