Dutch-

I feel for you, really. You know, the past few years I have at least checked into so many "opportunities". There are a couple that even would work, but I discovered that they were illegal before I tried them. One was that shopper scam, I got that check in the mail as well, and when I saw the directions to send most of the money back, $700 -$800, I realized it was a scam. There are so many people out there who do not give a RIP about you or me, they usually are from other countries and know from word of mouth that Americans are typically too trusting and easily fall prey to various types of "opportunities" so they scam us and often make tons of money doing it. They usually consider us to be rich and wealthy, and in comparison to them, maybe we are. You can't give up though, this IS STILL the land of opportunity, there are STILL ways to make a good income out there. Russ Dalbey's "Winning in the cash flow business" is one opportunity that is both a scam AND a real opportunity. The scam is that after you purchase the initial info package, (which is all you need to make money) they try to recruit you into a special group that will "help you every step of the way" to get your first deal done quickly and efficiently. But those "recruitment" programs cost THOUSANDS, and are UNNECESSARY. There are other programs that work as well, like those letters you get in the mail that have a list of 7 or 10 people and their addresses in them, you send a dollar to each one, then move the names all up one position and bump number 1 off the list, and add your name and address to spot number 10. Then you copy the letter with your name at number 10, and send it out to 200 or 500 people (postage not included) and usually you get a big roll of name lables from a company after you pay them $25 or so for a name list, a list of people who are interested in work at home opportunities. That will work if you send out enough letters, I would send out 1000, which would cost me a few hundred dollars in postage, but I would definitely generate a lot of money in a program like that because it really works if you send out enough letters. But it is called a chain letter, and it is illegal. I have looked it up in the postal and lottery laws, and sure enough it is illegal. There is not legitimate reason WHY they are illegal, it just is. (Unfortunately.) Find a job, work hard, earn a normal paycheck, and dedicate some spare time to find an opportunity that really works, never give up because they are out there. There are websites and Forums that you can join online where people will share their experiences with different opportunities too, and if you find one of those forums or sites, you can usually type in the name of a particular opportunity and do a search of the forum and see what people have to say about that opportunity. Best of luck to you.
