Before you respond to any advertisements you should read our advice for avoiding scams. As with any posting or advertisement, you must be diligent about doing your homework and using lots of common sense. Just because something is listed on an honorable website or in a reputable publication, doesn't mean the opportunity has been vetted for legitimacy. That means talking to a live person and not just relying on an email exchange to learn in-depth about the requirements, challenges and potential earning power. Don't be fooled by postings that promise big bucks for minimal effort. If it were that easy, we'd all be working in those jobs!
