At-home work scams 'on the rise'

At-home work scams 'on the rise'

Scammers targeting people who want to work from home are using the downturn in the economy as a chance to cash in, the Office of Fair Trading says.

Firms tricking people into thinking they can earn easy money, cost UK victims £70m a year, the OFT estimates.

And it believes that figure is set to rise during the current recession.

The OFT is highlighting the trend as part of Scam Awareness month which seeks to stop people being conned and parting with their cash.

'Easy opportunities'

Last year 209 people reported misleading home working schemes to the government's consumer advice body Consumer Direct but the OFT says this figure is the tip of the iceberg.

Work from home job postings are everywhere. There are listings for data entry jobs, research positions, multi-level marketing opportunities, and a variety of other ways to make a lot of money fast. In fact, there are so many of them that work at home schemes are on the National Consumers League's list of Top 10 Frauds.
