Never 'Work from Home'

Ever wondered what kind of company is making up those 'Work From Home'-schemes? Yesterday I saw yet another one of these adverts as a banner add on mail.com (they are not picky about their advertisements) and I once again wondered who made this thing up? It is an obvious scam, but the adds never reveal the name of the company behind this before you have contacted a sales representative and paid for the introduction package. So why are they still around? Did anyone ever make a dollar by entering this scheme?

My questions got answered by an old but excellent article (2002) by Rob Cockerham from cockeyed.com. In short: Save your money, get a real job, never respond to 'Work From Home' adds.
