This site deals with UK opportunities. The vast majority of ads you will come across do not offer genuine work so below are examples of the plausible offers you may see advertised in newspapers or receive in the post. If you contact me to request information, I will explain why they are not genuine and issue guidelines to ensure you are not caught out by these companies in the future.
If you are based outside the UK, please click here for the international site.
If you've had any experience of any scams, please e-mail me on scam@homeworkinguk.com giving me details of the company involved and any details you have. Contact phone number appreciated as we frequently have TV, radio and press researchers requiring case studies.
