Has Anyone Heard Of A Company Called "Employment Online"?

Question

I recently exchanged correspondence with a company caled "Employment Online" regarding a "work from home opportunity" answering emails. They want to charge me a nominal amount for the training information to "weed out people who are not serious" This sounds like so much bull, and it makes me nervous. If they are a reputable company, I would like to sign up though. I've tried to investigate online, and checked with the "Better Business Bureau" and have been unable to turn up anything negative about them. The posting never got flagged and removed from the hosting website either. I still have some doubts. Has anyone heard of, or does anyone have any experience with this company?

Thanks!

what's their website? check with this:

How to tell if a recruiter/employer is real, genuine and in good faith?

Answers: You can try one or more of the below options:

a) Look at the company name. Is it saying anything to you? Have you heard of it before?

b) Does the domain name match the name of the company?

c) Ask your friends and colleagues if they heard of that company.

d) Google it. Yahoo it. MSN it. Run a search and see if the same company has been involved in job scams or if other people say that company has been scamming others.

e) See what country that company pretends to be working in. Then call or email the Embassy of that particular country and ask them if they know anything of it.

f) Ask that company if you need to pay anything in exchange for their service. If first they say no and then, after some time, say you must pay for visa, work permit or for travel, it's a fake company and behind it are job scammers!

g) Ask that company to provide you copies of their incorporation certificate or proofs of Government registration, or VAT number.

h) And finally, be advised that most fake companies acting as scammers "offer" scam jobs in areas such as Africa (Nigeria being the most famous case), Middle East, Asia, even South America. To a much smaller extent, even US or Western Europe.
