hey guys. so i'm a full time student, with bad back problems, and is looking for a job. does anyone know where to start? working from home is pretty ideal for me, but i don't know how. any suggestions?

Ever tried freelance work?. While not using the same company, I work from home sometimes (ie: I write resume, letters to certain instance like the gov etc) for people and I get paid for basically writing letters, short stories, resume, school stuff etc.

i've looked into it a little bit, but i have no experience that some people want ):

Not all jobs require super high experience. I'm not familiar with this website so I don't know how they work. You can also work for an insurance company and sell them over the phone or just do general assistance.

I've worked from home before (because of back problems) and I did technical support for an internet service company. Depending on where you live, there are a lot of jobs out there like that. I really liked it, because there was no driving, and it's easier to be comfortable and avoid painful situations at home. I think that Amazon also hires for work from home.

Please make sure you do your due diligence with any work from home job opportunities. I do a lot of work with advanced fee fraud, and work at home job scams are extremely prevalent.

Two of the most common I that I have seen include

People pretending to be from Care.com/Rover.com/Sittercity.com

You'll usually get a text message claiming to be someone interested in tutoring/pet sitting/child care service and they will ask you to respond via e-mail.

It seems straight forward, and the individual will offer a fairly decent amount of money. This will be sent via a personal check mailed to your address. It will usually be for more than you are supposed to be paid.

Then they will mention some extra help with something (I've personally been asked to use the money sent to pay for a wheelchair for their disabled child, for furniture for their new home, renovations like painting their new home...) to justify the extra cost.

If you agree you will be instructed to send the money to an individual using MoneyGram, Western Union or Walmart2Walmart Transfer. From there the scammer will likely drop contact, the check they sent will bounce within a few days, and you'll be on the hook for all the money.

A slight variation comes from selling stuff on Craigslist. A scammer will contact asking to purchase, and will send money (PayPal is common) for more than the agreed amount. The victim will be asked to send the extra to a "moving company" through MG, WU, or W2W. Same thing, money bounces, you are on the hook.

2nd common scam: Reshipping/Check Processor Jobs

Usually seen after posting on Monster/Indeed/Various Job Boards. Victim will be contacted and told their resume qualified for a position and they would be making $1000+ per day.

Reshipping scams involve merchandise purchased using a stolen credit card being shipped to the victim who repackages (usually after being told there is a legitimate reason) and forwards it to another victim who forwards it again or delivers it to the scammer.

Check processing/money-muling involves a victim being asked to either use their personal bank account to accept deposits (usually scammer claims to be a foreign company who can not make an account at this time) and forward them to the scammer, or accept MoneyGram/Western Union transfers.

Be forewarned, you can (and like will) charged as an accomplice in the event you participate in a money mule situation. You will be on the hook as well for the financial losses.

If you suspect something is too good to be true, the website ScamWarners.com has a wonderful community that will check it out or give advice!

Good luck! :)
