I'm giving in to these spam messages and emails that somehow have my contact from all the job applications I'm submitting, which say I can earn 6K by sitting at home and doing the simplest online jobs. There's always a formal structure presented to you at first, until you realize it's going nowhere, and then I block them. Has anyone made it to the end of their endless spiels? Am I right to think they were scams, or could I have been making 6K at home by commenting reviews on some products?

LOL no. The general rule of thumb, if it seems too good to be true, it is. I get these messages all the time and I don't even bother giving it any thought. Don't have the time to entertain scammers who have all the time and patience in the world to loot the rest of us normal people who want to make money doing decent jobs.

I just found luck with Experis/Manpower Group. It’s an umbrella organization and they give you contract work. It’s hourly wage but the wage I am contract for is competitive in my market. (I’m a project manager.). There are other groups similar where you can do 1099/ W2 wage work under the umbrella so the jobs are legit. They have different work arrangements. I also looked into the make a bunch of money from home. None of them were what they said they were. Go with reputable firms. You can get also get benefits through Experis if you want them. Good luck to you!
