Because of illness and mobility issues, I am looking for a job where I can work at home. The problem I'm running in to now is that it seems that there is no way to check and see if most of these online employers are credible, even through the BBB site. Does anyone know of any work at home opportunities that they know are legitimate? Or possibly a way to check online employers? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Katie D

First thing to remember is that legitimate employeers don't charge you money to get you started or to hire you, and they don't come to YOU. If you receive an offer of vague employment where you didn't apply for the job, it's probably a scam. Don't fall for any company who tells you that you get get rich or that you will make $50 for every envelope stuffed, as this is never the case. If you can't find a BBB report, I would suggest searching the company on a search engine and see what you can come up with- There's a lot of information out there. If it sounds to good be true, though, you can be sure it is. Good luck!

Absolutely do not send them any money for ANY reason.

Both of the companies have an F rating with the BBB and seem to be work at home companies. You can access Carylco Company's report here:

Please read the comments and analysis about this company. You may also wish to look on the left hand side of the TrustLink screen and click on "work at home" in the Popular Tags to see other people's questions and our responses to their work at home posts.
