  1. I have never heard of that one, but if they ask for a fee to work for them run far away!  It can be frustrating when you first start looking for online work. The scams far out weigh the legitimate opportunities out there. One thing to remember is to never pay to get a job.

    A good place to start looking for online work is http://workathomedesk.com which is a free site with an excellent directory of legitimate companies that hire home workers. Depending on your skills or experience, you should be able to find several good leads there. Hope this helps. Good luck!


  2. I tried over 18 home businesses in the course of 3 years so please forgive the length of this post but you will find it very informative. Learn from my mistakes! Also make sure to read all the way to the bottom because I have included a list of the top 10 work at home scams. I am a mother of two little girls who are actually tugging on my arm as I write this so I will try to be brief. Many people are looking for work from home companies. All the scams definitely create a big problem but also, there is a problem of people misunderstanding the difference between work from home "jobs" and work from home opportunities. There really are not work from home “jobs”. To get that you have to start working for a company in their offices first, then they MAY allow you to take the job home.

    Most of the work from home opportunities that are legitimate offers are not an hourly pay type job. They are business opportunities that help you in starting your own business from your home. What you should do first is to decide if you are simply looking for an hourly rate type job or if you are looking for more of an opportunity for additional income such as what you would make in your own business being your own boss from home. Small home businesses have some small costs involved, less than $500 to start is reasonable and I would stay away from those wanting $1000-$5000. It doesn’t cost that much to start and run a home business so you shouldn’t pay it.

    If you are coming across places that say free then I would RUN don’t walk the other way! They never are. I tried them many a times and 3 weeks later I had to buy this and 6 weeks later that. After 6 months these “free businesses” had cost me over $800 on average.

    After trying 18 things I work about 18-25 hours per week for a National Medical Benefits Company. This is a nationally known and reputable home business which is what you need to make sure you are looking for. I have been with the company almost a year and a half now and I make over $3500 a month! In your first month, depending on how many hours you can work, I have seen people make anywhere from $500 to over $2500. And your income will increase each month because you get paid residual income as well.

    The best part is they have 401(k), direct deposit, life insurance and a benefits package most of which you get from day one. In addition, there are no products, no hard selling or pushing, no cold calling, no home parties and no telemarketing! That was VERY important to me. I absolutely love working with them and I can't believe I am making what I am making and in so few hours per week. The neat thing is there are other people on your team that you work with so you are never alone. You have great team support and you get to know the other people on your team pretty well.

    I was a bit apprehensive at first because I know a lot of companies are not legit but this company is the number one National Medical Benefits Company in the US. They are a member of the US Chamber of Commerce, and the National Association of Dental Plans and the owner of the company actually sits on the board of The Consumer Health Alliance to which we are also members. Also they were featured in “The New York Times”, “Wall Street Journal” “Time Magazine” “American Medical Review” and even in the May 2008 issue of “Parents Magazine”. Even “60 Minutes” did a big special on this home based business.

    Even more then all this is they are accepted at over 100,000 retailers nationwide. These are fortune 500 companies like Sears, Target, K-mart, Rite Aid, CVS, Wal-mart, Publix and more. These companies would never work with a company that was anything less than reputable.

    TOP 10 WORK AT HOME SCAMS:

    10. Craft Assembly

    This scam encourages you to assemble toys, dolls, or other craft projects at home with the promise of high per-piece rates. All you have to do is pay a fee up-front for the starter kit... which includes instructions and parts. Sounds good? Well, once you finish assembling your first batch of crafts, you'll be told by the company that they "don't meet our specifications." No matter what you won’t get paid.

    9. Medical Billing

    In this scam, you pay $300-$900 for everything (supposedly) you need to start your own medical billing service at home. You're promised state-of-the-art medical billing software, as well as a list of potential clients in your area.

    What you're not told is that most medical clinics process their own bills, or outsource the processing to firms, not individuals. Your software may not meet their specifications, and often the lists of "potential clients" are outdated or just plain wrong.

    8. Email/Rebate Processing

    This is a twist on the classic "envelope stuffing scam" (see #1 below). For a low price ($50?) you can become a "highly-paid" email processor working "from the comfort of your own home."

    Now... what do you suppose an email processor does? If you have visions of forwarding or editing emails, forget it. What you get for your money are instructions on spamming the same ad you responded to in newsgroups and Web forums!

    7. "A List of Companies Looking for Home workers!"

    In this one, you pay a small fee for a list of companies looking for home workers just like you. The only problem is that the list is usually a generic list of companies, companies that don't take home workers, or companies that may have accepted home workers long, long ago.

    6. "Just Call This 1-900 Number For More Information..."

    Not much to say here. Don’t Call!

    5. Typing At Home / Data Entry

    Here's how it works: After sending the fee to the scammer for "more information," you receive a disk and printed information that tells you to place home typist ads and sell copies of the disk to the suckers who reply to you. Like #8, this scam tries to turn you into a scammer!

    4. "Turn Your Computer Into a Money-Making Machine!"

    Well, this one's at least half-true. To be completely true, it should read: "Turn your computer into a money-making machine... for scammers!"

    This is much the same scam as #5, above. Once you pay your money, you'll be sent instructions on how to place ads and pull in suckers to "turn their computers into money-making machines."

    3. Pyramid Schemes (this is NOT the same as Multi-Level Marketing MLM)

    If you've heard of network marketing (like Amway, Mary Kay or Pampered Chef), then you know that there are legitimate MLM businesses based on agents selling products or services.

    The problem arises when there is no legitimate product or service at all and it is all about finding new recruits and not only can you lose all your money, but you can be charged with fraud, too!

    2. Chain Letters/Emails ("Make Money Fast")

    They promise that all you have to do is send the email along plus some money by mail to the top names on the list, then add your name to the bottom... and one day you'll be a millionaire.

    Actually, the only thing you might be one day is prosecuted for fraud. This is a classic pyramid scheme.

    1. Envelope Stuffing

    This is THE classic work-at-home scam. It's been around since the U.S. Depression of the 1920s and 1930s, and it's moved onto the Internet like a cockroach you just can't eliminate.

    There are several variations, but here's a sample: Much like #5 and #4 above, you are promised to be paid $1-2 for every envelope you stuff. All you have to do is send money and you're guaranteed "up to 1,000 envelopes a week that you can stuff... with postage and address already affixed!"

    When you send your money, you get a short manual with flyer templates you're supposed to put up around town, advertising yet another harebrained work-from-home scheme.

    SO that’s the top 10.

    Please beware of these scams. There are some legit home businesses out there so be careful. Look for companies in business over 10 years. Look for companies with a needed product or service, something you would be proud to represent. Look for companies that have a national reputation and are members of the US Chamber of Commerce.

    Also, don't be hung up on the BBB either. Did you know, common misconception here, that the BBB is NOT a government regulated agency? That in fact, they are local independently owned franchises where anyone, who pays the right price, can be a member in “good standing”. This is true!

    As for those of you who say…..”I want to work from home but I don’t want to have to pay for anything”. Well, that’s great! But it will never happen. Let’s be honest, there is no such thing as a free lunch. As we talked about above there is a difference between a job and a business. You should NEVER have to pay for a job….but again…chances of finding a home job are about 3%. At any rate, if it is a true honest home business you need to expect to pay….Mr. Walt Disney didn’t start the Disney empire “without paying for anything”. Neither did Mr. Sam Walton, owner of Wal-Mart.

  3. Hi  Hiimajen,

           First,

    1.  There are  few make money at home jobs.  you'll waste time and money trying to find one.

    2.  Don't try anything that wants to you  to put up any money for products first to sell.

    3.  forget about selling vitamins, healthy drinks, etc.  no fun, and you will just lose friends, etc.

    4.  Anything you look at check em out on yahoo and google and  BBB.  

    5.  Dont do anything that wants  a credit card  before you can see what it is you are doing.  (i.e., the make money to do surveys.-it aint happenin.)

    6.  Dont do anything that doesnt have a forum where you can talk to others doing the business.

    Good news:

    I was a struggling realtor/home flipper in Florida and with the housing situation I had looked at "make money from home scams".  Gave that up.  I ran into a friend  of a friend who told me about asdcashgenerator.com

    1.  In 7 weeks i have profited over 80K.  That is documented. i can show you my statement. I I print it everyday.

    2. All I do is look at other companies websites.

    3.. never had to sell a thing.

    4.  never a credit card or anything like that to check it out.

    5.  you can google the owner/ceo.  you will be amazed at who it is.

    6.  we are an advertising company that has been in business a little less than 2 years.   Gooogle us and BBB us.  The only complaints you will find are:

          A.  I wish I'd have gotten in sooner.

          B.  It can take some time to get a customer support person.   (we are growing so fast it is hard to keep up with- we just got an 11,000 sq. foot building for more customer service employees.)

    7.  I will give you references/testimonials of people who are doing it.  not just a first name and a state. a first and last name, city, state and phone number.   Find me another make money at home opportunity that offers that.

    8.  we  have a forum that is not affiliated with the company where you can talk to others who are with business before you spend a minute with it.  

          

        

       Our founder/CEO just won a national award for the business which he personally received from president bush.

    if interested, you can contact me at dapproperties@yahoo.com          I will personally help you make money.

  4. I have never heard of this but I recommend another website.  

    Yuwie is a website similar to myspace and facebook, the only difference is you make money for socializing!!!  It is easy and completly free to sign up.  I am a college student and found a way to make money from the comfort of my own home.  I absolutly love it.  (its not really work afterall :)  you are getting paid to meet people!!!!)  I have already made alot!!

    Just follow this link to sign up and get started.  After you do, I will message you with some helpful tips that I had when I first joined!  

    http://r.yuwie.com/brittbabe123/

  5. I haven't heard of that.  I was searching for working from home and I found something that I can benefit from as well as enjoy deeply. View my website, and let me know what you think.  Maybe this will work for you!

  6. Like a fox, is it a job you applied for or a business that you would be getting involved with through this company working from home?  I heard the name, but haven't done any investigations on this, primarily because I don't need to.  I have created a blog on Home Based Business opportunities.  In the blog has a lot of information on ways to look for if a business (company) is a legitament one, bogus statements claiming businesses are a scam, what to really look for etc.  The blog is geared for people looking into home based business opportunities, but the information on there is also good for home based jobs.  You'll have to do a little bit of research, I suggest you not ask others, but research it for yourself.  75% of the time you will be told something is a scam, because they're promoting their business, so don't listen to ones saying it's a scam.  Look into it for yourself.  Your more then welcome to use my blog as a tool to find the information you need to see if it's a legitament company.
