Unfortunately, some people are confused about how to report work-at-home scams. If you come across such scams during your search for legitimate work-at-home jobs, it is very important that you take the right measures to report the scam to the right institutions and agencies that regularly investigate work-at-home scams. Take the appropriate measures and prevent others from falling into the same trap. First of all, you need to contact the company promoting the work-at-home scams and ask for a refund. You should also let the promoters know that you will be informing law enforcement and other agencies about their company. While corresponding and speaking with the promoters, keep track of all your correspondence, only send copies of documents and keep the originals. Use certified mail with a return receipt. If the company does not resolve the issue, then file a complaint. You can report work-at-home scams to your state Attorney General office, as well as that of the state where the promoter is located. You can also report work-at-home scams to the Better Business Bureau and consumer protection agency of your state or county, as well as of the area where the promoter is based. You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). It is also advisable to contact your local US Post Office if the work-at-home scam involves fraudulent mail activity. Further, if you found the original ad in a magazine or newspaper, contact the advertising department of the publication and let them know that they are publishing work-at-home scams. Do not hesitate and report work-at-home scams—it will take a collective effort if we want to get rid of scams and deal only with legitimate work-at-home opportunities during job searches.
