A Work-at-Home scheme is a get-rich-quick scheme in which a victim is lured by an offer to be employed at home, very often doing some simple task in a minimal amount of time with a large amount of income that far exceeds the market rate for the type of work. The true purpose of such an offer is for the perpetrator to extort money from the victim.
Work-at-home schemes have been around for decades. Originally found as ads in newspapers or magazines, they have expanded to more high-tech media, such as television and radio ads, and on the Internet.
Common types of work found in work-at-home schemes include:
* Stuffing envelopes
* Assembly of items of some type, such as crafts, jewelry, or medical equipment
* Data entry
* Processing medical claims
* Making phone calls
* Online surveys
* Sales of a product or service that is difficult or impossible to sell. This is often done in the form of a pyramid scheme.
