Virtual Assistant ScamsVirtual Assistant Telework is no different than other WAH arenas, scammers have undoubtedly found ways to setup shop and bilk hopeful work-at-homers out their hard earned money. Fortunately for us, there are a few guidelines to help us avoid being scammed. The old WAH mantra “never pay to work” returns to help ward off telework scams. Adhering unflinchingly to this rule will, of course, keep you from losing your money,but I would prefer that people adhere to it intelligently. Some work-from-home positions may require you to pay some out of pocket expenses. This alone shouldn't equate to the opportunity being a scam. Instead, look at what you're paying for and decider whether or not it is reasonable. If you are paying the company for which you're supposed to be working directly,make sure you're actually getting something of value in return. Avoid virtual assistant sites where you're simply paying joining/application fees or paying for lists of projects/hiring companies, and you'll be less likely to be ripped off. As always, don't be afraid to keep up with the due diligence.
