These are a couple of paragraphs from a book "Free Stuff for Seniors" but I think this would apply to even more. Here they are:
Maybe you need a job, but don't feel much like going back to a frantic workplace environment. If so, Home employment might be the right choice for you. Finding the right situation, however, can be tricky.
There are lots of opportunities for seniors to work out of their homes, but there are also a lot of scams. Some newspaper and magazine ads make very tempting claims, but then demand that you order expensive"training materials" or pay for "start up cost." Be very careful with outfits like these-it's hard to tell the difference between a legitimate company and someone who just wants to take your money.
(Well, no kidding)(my input)
As usual, the best way to be safe is to be informed. Information from the "Home Employment Project' may be able to help you sort through the bogus claims and find legitimate home employment opportunities.
