Internet Scams

I wanted to touch upon one of the biggest problems with this whole working from home mularkey. Essentially the issue of Internet Scams.

I got my first real taste of it today when I was sent a very official document from a very famous high street bank instructing me to log onto my account immediately...only it wasn't really from them. To be honest it was pretty easy to tell, the english was so bad, it could only have been from a non-native or somebody living in Stoke on Trent! Naturally I forwarded it Barclays scams division at internetsecurity@barclays.co.uk and I would advise anyone in receipt of it to do the same.

But it got me thinking, those scams are so prevelant, that it's no wonder people are scared of or even turned off by the concept of working from home. I guess that a really useful resource would be one that cut through the clutter of "this is the greatest home working plan ever!" and maybe featured some no BS anaylsis. Sort of like the amazon book review section...in fact that could be the model...I give this scheme 5 out of 10 with a top ten list, so people looking for something genuine on http://www.milliondollarsavings.com could then look at it based on everybodies feedback not just my own.

let me know what you think.

have a nice weekend.

Mark.
