Unfortunately many are getting to be less obvious and amazingly sneaky.

Having said that, I want to point out that the common phrase “you should never pay for a job” is in general a fantastic point, BUT… it is often misinterprated to also include job services that actually provide lots of value to job-seekers, particularly in this scam-ridden niche.

There ARE job services that can provide immense help, protection, and time-savings to find a legimitate telecommuting job. I am CEO of one such company, FlexJobs.com, and while we are a low-cost subscription service, we are BBB-approved, offer a money-back guarantee, and have a 97% client satisfaction rate.

The points you make are very accurate, and I just wanted to mention this additional option. For people who are busy and don’t want to spend the hours and hours if often requires to find the REAL telecommuting jobs underneath all of ads, scams, and other junk, services such as FlexJobs can be very valuable.

When trying to find telework companies, search for mission statements containing green initiatives and goals for sustainability. A good list of companies that encourage telecommuting is on CNNMoney.
