A word to the wise.
DO NOT send money to any work-at-home offers.
They are all scams - every one of them.
Any legit work-at-home offer WILL NOT ask
you for money up front.
I don't care how pretty the packaging
DON'T SEND MONEY!
Many people are desperate for money these days
and will stop at nothing to part you from yours.

If you do use a credit card use one with a
low limit balance as most crooks will bypass
those in favor of higher limit cards.
Also, NEVER use you check card online.
I know a freind who did and had his account
cleaned out by hackers.
A couple of good spyware products will go far
to protect your vital information.
Use common sense and avoid all scams.

I have my spam filter set on maximum and I
still get truckloads of this crap.
"Make $5k a day while taking a bubble bath"
and the like.
I can't delete them fast enough.
These scum are also getting more agressive/creative in pitching
these scams.
Another sign of the times I suppose.
If it don't sound to neat - just delete.
