Legal get-rich-quick schemes

• Work at home tasks such as stuffing envelopes or assembling trinkets. Essentially cottage work; only small fees are paid per piece, and to make real money vast quantities of work are required. The United States Postal Inspection Service has noted that they have yet to find a "stuffing envelopes" offer that pays as promised. [1]
• Many get-rich-quick schemes offer training courses in areas such as real estate, estate auctions, rare coins, or gemstones. Generally they promise that the trainees, after purchasing educational materials costing several thousands of dollars, will be able to locate cheap or discounted items that can then quickly be resold at great profits.
• Get-rich-quick schemes often sell software programs for betting on horse racing or other forms of gambling, promising that if run properly they will pick winners. They rarely do and most users lose money. This software normally sells for hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
• Selling "miracle products" over the Internet, by telephone, or to friends and neighbours.
• Many e-books are written about how to get rich quick by selling goods on eBay.
