Are those "work-at-home" emails legitimate?

Hacker X (Computer Security Expert) gives expert video advice on: What are the most common scams on the Internet?; Did I really win anything when I get an email saying "you won!"? and more...

There are many solicitations online that are the same as solicitations in the real world, such as "Work at home and earn $15,000 a month." Well, I guess it's possible. These are just merely extensions of traditional pyramid schemes, scams and operations that are trying to get you typically to buy something or invest in something. So like anything else, you have to use your best judgment. If it seems a little bit too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true. If you can make that kind of money sitting at home, I think there'd be more people doing it. Many of these scams that we find on the Internet are not new. In fact, many of them have been around for a very long time. Some of them were old Western Union scams; some of them were old actual letter writing scams. The Internet has simply made it a more immediate process to reach potential victims.
