Never Pay For Work

The worst thing about work at home scams is that even legitimate sites can be hiding something in the fine print. If you find any site that asks for a membership fee then do not sign up. You should never have to pay for work. Obviously if they are asking you for money, they aren't your safest bet for working at home.

Many sites for writers do this too. They promise loads of job listings for one low monthly fee. Some are even as low as $3 a month. However, in the event that you can't land a job through their listings, that's $3 you can't afford to lose. Try free sites instead like:
www.rentacoder.com
www.helium.com
www.elance.com
www.getafreelancer.com

Though you're not guaranteed to make money through these sites they are a great and free place to get started. I have done plenty of work for clients through rentacoder. Give it a shot. If you can get some regular clients going then you may be able to give up these sites for good.
