Home typers scam

Do legitimate home typist positions really exist?
Almost everywhere you turn these days, it seems that you see ads claiming that many companies are looking for home typists. But are they for real?

In a word, "no". While there are legitimate companies that do use typists from home, your chances of finding one of these companies by answering one of these adds is just about zero.

If you do answer one of these ads, what you'll receive is an "application to be a home typist" telling you that you must fill out this application and send it back with an "application fee", usually of between $19.00 to $79.00. And if you do send in the application with the fee, you still have virtually no chance of finding a home typing job this way, because typically all you'll receive is a bunch of sheets of photocopied paper of businesses along with their addresses and phone numbers that "might" be able to benefit from someone typing at home. In other words, the businesses listed aren't necessarily actively looking for homeworkers, and in fact, probably don't hire people to work from home.
