Here's some advice from the Federal Trade Commission on avoiding work from home scams:
Google the company name along with the word “scam” or “complaint”. A lack of complaints won’t prove a company is legit, but complaints can tip you off to a possible problem.
Never pay money to get a job -- that includes if a company sends you a check but asks you to return part of the money – the check will almost certainly bounce.
And avoid repackaging or reshipping jobs in general they’re usually not legit.
