I removed the following sentence from the end of the Consequences section because it looked to me like vandalism:

Urban term for working at home is Durick

I think "Durick" is a surname. What else it might be, I don't know. I've certainly never heard of working at home being called "Durick." It just doesn't ring true. If someone knows that this is legitimate, please restore the material, but include more information and, for goodness sake, a source! —CKA3KA (Skazka) (talk) 07:17, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

suggested archival of this sub section . Reason = purpose served Sanjiv swarup (talk) 03:13, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

suggestion = insert a sub section called "good schemes" Sanjiv swarup (talk) 03:15, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If it is good, then 'scheme' should not be at the end of the title.

The article doesn't say a word on what the very deceit is. Is it low payment? Or not paying for the job at all? Making to sign a fraudulent contract? How does a conner actually 'extort' money as the preface mentions? I can't figure that. — Vano 08:54, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article mentions an "initial fee to join", but you're right, this should be more obvious. Skimming the sources, the other obvious con is to sell apparently cheap goods to the victim for resale, which turn out to be worthless or very hard to resell. I'll update the article. --McGeddon (talk) 09:32, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There's also the classic "envelope stuffing" scam, which this article didn't go into any detail about, despite envelope stuffing redirecting to it. Not sure if this has been deleted by a scammer over the years; I've written it up in the lead. --McGeddon (talk) 09:57, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

At the top of the Wikipedia page of 'Work from Home Schemes', it says that, anyone typing in 'Work from Home' will be redirected here. Although this is largely true, I disagree. There are but a handful, if that, of legitimate 'Work from Home' opportunities and it is unfortunate that they would be lumped in with the schemes and scams. I'm suggesting a separate 'Work from Home' page within Wikipedia for the sake of the good that is there despite how little. I've just discovered this page today. I will gather my resources and create worthwhile content for this subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Renamcnut (talk • contribs) 19:07, 4 June 2015
