When trying to make money online, be cautious of scammers and other fraudulent services. Keep the below warnings in mind:

• Do not pay any significant initial or up-front fee, deposit, or down payment. For example, a company or individual claiming special computer hardware or marketing material is needed.
• Avoid services asking to cash checks or money orders into your bank account after you give them your bank details.
• If the company is not on this list, look them up on the BBB.
• Be cautious when asked for personal information such as e-mail, phone numbers, social security, etc.
• Realize everything you do is going to require some work. There is no such thing as easy ways to make money without some effort.
• Always keep the motto “If it sounds to be good to be true, it probably is” in the back of your mind.
