Hi-ya! I'm a fun little hermit crab looking to go to a new home! Take a look at my red and brown body, isn't it beautiful? What colour is my shell, you ask? Well I actually have to change shells as I grow so my look is always changing! I'm really neat to watch wander around my tank eating various foods and curling up in my shell. I can even be gently handled, but watch out for any stray claws! There's lots of wonderful information on my care out there so please do your research before choosing a pet like me! So, think I'm the one for you? Come see me today, I'm clawing to meet you!

Working Wise Dear Working Wise: I saw an internet ad saying that I could make $1,000 a day on the Internet working from home. That sounds too good to be true. Is it? Signed Wary ©iStockphoto/erichood
Dear Wary: A company that pays its staff $1,000 a day to work from home shouldn’t need to advertise. The Internet is filled with work-from-home scams masquerading as real jobs.
Do you have a work-related question? Send your questions to Working Wise, at charles.strachey@gov.ab.ca. Charles Strachey is a manager with Alberta Human Services. This column is provided for general information.
Top 10 red flags to watch for: 1. Job title, job duties and compensation are vague. 2. Job offer is a spam email or a web-banner advertisement. 3. Unprofessional ad, website, email address, correspondence. 4. Employer is hard to identify, locate or contact by telephone/email. 5. Employer shows little interest in your qualifications; no job interview. 6. Employer pressures you to buy training/equipment/software for the job. 7. You are asked to repackage items sent to you and then ship them abroad. 8. You are asked to transfer or wire money out of your personal bank account. 9. Employer quickly asks for your Social Insurance Number or banking information. 10. Too good to be true: guaranteed big money, no risk, no experience, no effort needed. You can also check suspicious job opportunities using the Central and Northern Alberta Better Business Bureau’s Scam Tracker. The tracker describes nearly 15,000 different scams, including 944 employment scams (bbb.org/scamtracker/edmonton). The most popular employment scams include secret shopper (218) and work from home (410). Secret shopper scam “employers” send you a cheque for a large amount of money. You are asked to deposit it in your bank account and then evaluate a money-transfer service by wiring a large amount of the money to another account. Soon, you learn that the payment that they sent you was fake and you’ve lost the money that you wired to them. Work from home email processing scams promise that you will get paid for every email that you process. All you have to do is pay a registration fee. Once you’ve registered and paid your fee, you will not receive any work and will not be able to contact the company. Phishing scam “employers” quickly hire you and then ask you for your social insurance number and banking information so they can pay you. Instead, they use the information to steal your identity or your money. March is Fraud Prevention Month. For tips and information on Fraud Prevention Month, visit the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at phonebusters.com. If you want a real job where you can work from home, you might want to try applying to legitimate employers for traditional jobs that you can do from home and then discuss the idea of telecommuting. Technological advances and potential cost savings are making more companies open to the idea of employees working from home. For home-based business ideas, search the tip sheets on the Alberta Learning Information Service (ALIS) web site at alis.alberta.ca for “telecommuting”. For more tips on preventing fraud, check out the Central and Northern Alberta Better Business Bureau’s Scam Stopper web page at bbb.org/scam. Good luck!
