There are plenty of email offers doing the rounds these days offering a whole variety of working from home systems. From people who are having trouble exporting art, because the sellers will merely sell to people in the same country to companies short of mystery shoppers and needing more agents.

These all have several things in common with each other, namely:

- they arrive in the form of unsolicited emails, frequently with the recipient addresses saying ‘undisclosed-recipients’ because they have been bulk sent to a lot of email addresses using the BCc field

- they are frequently in poorly written English

- there is a easy scheme, with promises of remarkable rewards for little outlay or work

And, of course, the other attribute that these will all have in common is that in one way or another they are scams. Either scams to con you out of your cash or scams to get you involved in illegal cash laundering schemes where you are only the middle man that takes the fall when the police catch up with the scheme.

How might you spot a scam?
So, how do you spot them. Well if anyone offers you straightforward work for a good reward, typically without you approaching them, then the old saying that if it seems to good to be true it possibly is is the right thing to be thinking. No-one genuinely will contact you with the offers of an simple job and lots of money.

Why not? Well if it is genuine, there are plenty of quality working from home sites where such offers could be advertised and there are hordes of people watching these sites waiting for these genuine offers to be made. There is no need for spam emails.

How do these scams work?
But, how do they work? Without going into details and giving the wrong people tips, the scams about cash laundering involve you passing money from one person to another. Mystery shoppers and companies struggling to export items will get you to buy items and then pass them on to another contact. Once they have your confidence the odds get higher and then suddenly your payments dry up leaving you very out of pocket.

These are just two of the probably alternatives for the too good to be true work from home opportunities that you may see or receive via spam emails. But, I have to say, that any spam work at home email is perhaps going to be a few sort of scam.

Are there any genuine easy home working opportunities?
So are there any genuine easy to do working from home opportunities? Maybe, but they all involve you setting up the work yourself, finding the people that are going to be paying you and you selecting your own suppliers that you will have to pay. As for instance, blogging or affiliate selling.

But if someone has made you an offer of straightforward work and magnificent pay for a work at home opportunity, it is nigh on certain that it is too good to be true and you should steer clear.
