Some online job ads offer the opportunity to work from home for a big payday.

Are they legitimate?

KRCG's Facebook Crew talked with local experts Wednesday to find out what they think about online job ads that promise you a big payday.

Job ads that promise you that you can work from home and make lots of money can be found all over the internet.

Are these ads true?

Can you make lots of money without leaving home?

The president of C& S Business Services said people wanting to work from home had better do some research.

She said most promises in the ads are too good to be true.

"I would be highly skeptical of an ad on the Facebook site, a newspaper or something like that. We've seen them all but they just look way too good to be true. In my 22 years I’ve not had any employees that request somebody to work from home, unless it is an transcription or something of that type,” C & S Business Services' President Paula Benne said.

Benne said the best way to investigate an online employer is by contacting the Better Business Bureau online.
