A viewer called Consumer 6 asking about a website she saw that claims you can make thousands of dollars a day working at home. Consumer 6 logged on to check it out. The website is called "Work From Home,â€ and it's an Internet marketing program. They provide a personal coach to help you to launch an internet-based business. However, they don't guarantee you'll make money. They call it the "Internet Decision Package," and itâ€™s priced at $39.00.

The Federal Trade Commission warns people to be careful of work at home offers on the Internet. The F-T-C has cracked down on some businesses for false advertising. You can get a free fact sheet by mailing your request to:
