Craft and assembly jobs:  This is a very attractive scam.  Anyone who can do crafts or handiwork or works with tools is attracted to this one.  These people see an ad that seems to promise cash for doing what they already love to do and are good at.  This must be the opportunity they were looking for!

But wait a minute!  There’s always a catch, so put away your sewing machine before we look more closely at the details.

This advertisement has a heading in large bold print, with plenty of exclamation points.  This headline promises you that you’ll receive the information, and be paid when you send back the completed projects to the employer.

Be sure to read the fine print on this one though, which is where the “catch” is to be found.  There is more than one of them, and there is more than one way this advertiser will scam you!

First you’ll see that you have to spend some money to purchase particular equipment or some supplies that won’t be part of the ‘free materials’ you thought you were getting when you first read the headline.  The supplies and equipment you’re expected to buy will cost you from just a few dollars up to several hundred dollars. That is what these advertisers are trying to sell! Notice that there is a “no return” policy for anything you have to buy, not the equipment nor the supplies.  So don’t expect to get your money back.

If you can read the teeny tiny fine print at the bottom of the page as you scroll way way down, you’ll see some language that says, “All work must meet quality standards.” Actually it will be barely legible, like this:  “All work must meet quality standards.” That is how these scam artists cheat you out of your money.

Guess what? Nothing anyone sends on to them will ever meet those quality standards. So here’s what you are left with: You buy the materials and equipment, you spend your time and effort making the products as specified, and afterward you will never see any payment for any of the work you send them back.

Worse than that, you have not a legal leg to stand on.  You agreed to purchase supplies or equipment, and you were told they had a policy of “no returns”. You made the agreement that you would produce products meeting their ‘quality control standards’, which were not specified.  You’ve been taken advantage of!

The truth is that there is a very big market for hand-made crafts and other such products.  It may even be an unlimited market.  If you do have the ability to make good quality handmade products, you probably can make money selling them.

But the sad fact is that eve if you are good, you won't be making any money at all falling for these scam artists who are playing on your desires to just sell you the supplies and equipment, with no intention to ever pay you for the things you make for them.

Fact: While you can definitely make money selling handicrafts, you won’t make a dime making products for these scammers.
