Synopsis
There is nothing worse than sitting down with your checkbook at the end of the month and realizing that you don't have enough to meet your basic needs. It's happening a lot right now: unemployment is running rampant, people are getting laid off in massive numbers, savings and investments are drying up quickly, and many people are relying on their credit cards to cover basic necessities. Having an extra job, or other random sources of income, could mean the difference between constant worry and financial stability. But what do you do when you can't distinguish between legitimate work and a clever ploy?

Using her experience and knowledge in Internet marketing, she reveals the most common tricks of scammers. She empowers you with the resources to research companies and job offers so you'll never have to ask, "Is this job for real?"
