You're not likely to find legitimate work at home jobs advertised as such in the classified sections of tabloids or Web banner ads. For that matter, you'll have a hard time finding them advertised anywhere. They are few and far between. For one reason, reputable employers typically don't call them work at home jobs, as previously mentioned. For another, most employers are not so desperate for people to work from home that they must advertise for them. So, if you go hunting for jobs advertised as "work at home" instead of "regular" jobs for which the employers might allow telecommuting, the only ads you're likely to find are those placed by scammers.

The only types of jobs advertised like this are snow jobs, not real jobs. Most are outright scams, and the few that aren't usually turn out to be schemes or unglamorous jobs (such as telemarketing) that don't offer benefits or produce enough income to earn a living. Ads like these are typically nothing more than phase one of baiting campaigns. The advertisers intentionally design them to get you to respond, so they can bombard you with junk mail or telemarketing calls to sell you on their scams. These bombardments are the "free details." But in reality, they're not details at all. They're simply phase two of the baiting campaigns. Naturally, the so-called details are free, as are all advertisements. You'll likely pay for the real details, and even then you'll typically get fraudulent and misleading information. If you respond to the ads, you're considered "hot" by the scam artists. Even if you don't buy into their scams and schemes, they make money on you anyway. Once they have your contact information, they sell it to list brokers, who resell it to other scammers. Then the other scammers bombard you too, while you're hot. Hot is just another word for potential sucker to the scammers, and they've been playing this game for years via the classified sections of tabloids and such. Unfortunately, they've discovered the Web and email too.
