  Watch out for cheats offering home-based work
  RECENTLY, the world of home-based jobs was introduced to me so I thought it would be a good opportunity to start working at home to get some extra cash. I started searching online for such jobs, but little did I know, there are cases of fraud activities relating to these home-based jobs.
  
  The advertisement was fairly simple, looking for anyone who is willing to do some data-entry work at home. I replied to someone named Charmaine, and I was told to transfer her $25 for training materials.
  
  This is an excerpt from our e-mail conversation:
  
  'The one-time fee is not for the start-up cost but for the training material cost (S$25), and thereafter, whatever money that you earn is yours and yours only.
  
  'So if you are very keen and interested in making money, do transfer the material cost (S$25) to account No. XXXXXXXX.'
  
  The training materials I received told me I would have to attract all the other job seekers by posting job advertisements similar to the one I replied to. I consider this incident unfortunate and blame it on my naivety.

  *agrees*
  
  Almost everything that requires you to pay initial fee are fake.
  
  The decent ones will tell you they will subtract it from your following pay.
  Lesser accounts for them also
