There are more scams than not out there and you have to really be careful.
If you have admistrative skills, maybe you could work in that capacity for a company and telecommute. Many sales reps need administrative help and it is something you can do from home as far as being the customer support for the reps.
I would market my skills to people like this, networking, linkedn is a business networking site.
Keep in mind that working from home is a JOB and requires focus and discipline. We run our company from home and it works well for us right now, however, we are looking for some office space at the moment just to move it all out of the house. It becomes work 24/7 if you are not careful.
Good luck.
