Question
I am looking for a legit and no financial investment work at home from my PC job. The Internet is overwhelming with bogus job offers. What do you suggest?

Answer
You are correct about the bogus jobs offered on the Internet. I refuse to pay money to make money also. That's why I use getafreelancer.com. It is free to join, and when you win a job bid, they only take a small portion of the total fee. Even there good jobs are few and sometimes far between. Often though they have turned into long-term jobs that lasted for up to a year.

I guess what I am trying to say is: don't get your expectations up too high!

There are other job boards similar to getafreelancer out there. Try searching for 'freelancer database'.

Another suggestion is making a home business. Brainstorm to see if there is something in your community that is needed that you can supply from home (such as a shopping service for the elderly).

Hope this helps.
