What do you know about ProcessAtHome.com (processing rebates from your home computer)?

Question

This is an email I keep getting to work from home processing "rebates". Does anyone out there have any information about this company or Angel Stevens, it's founder?

Answer 1

I did some reading on this awhile ago for a friend on the Angela Penbrook rebate deal and immidiatly spoted a flaw in her story.  This is what raised my eyebrow at her "story".  She said she was laid off her job

and went into details of it, the trauma etc.  Then later in her story ran into a man somwhere and he showed her this work opportunity.  Went on how she started and within five months claims that she was able to quit her job working 1-5 hours a day.

The first thing that raised my eyebrow is the fact that you "try it for three months" then you pay? This isn't a job!  A job you get a w2. If you were to own your own business through a company then you'd receive a 1099.  Misleading information here.  

What puzzled me also is her saying she lost her job and didn't know how she was going to pay rent, food and for her daughters birthday.  Then to say in another story that she was able to quit her job. Two conflicting stories.  I reported this back to my friend and she started up her own business with another company instead, and doesn't have to work even 5 hours a day now.  She gets paid monthly now on other people's phone bills.  Everytime they pay her bills, the companies send her a percentage.  Every single month.  What she did was partner up with a 15 year old world wide company.  They market in local and long distance telephone services, Internet, Video phones, digital phones,VOIP, Satellite TV, and all major cellular phone companies like Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Alltel, Nextell etc as well.  She saves people money on services they're already using each month. Offers them services that they don't have.  Her husband and her both work out of their home wound their kids's schedules.  I saw what they were making and how little time they work now and decided to take a look at it.  I did and I got involved.  It's incredible!

The point I'm making is you don't know this person your reading about, go through their story with a fine tooth comb, per say.  The story doesn't match up.  Also here's a check list of things you want to search before getting involved in a company.   Things I tell people that can really help in making sure a company is one to be involved in.

1. Is this a job or a business?  If it's a job, there should be no start up costs, or fees or anything.  You should be paid hourly or salary.  If it's a business your starting, within a business your getting involved in, there would be a start up fee.  What do these fee's cover?  billing for my customers, Inventory, Customer services, Order Entry, Employees, workman's comp, Cross referencing, Licensing, Insurance, paperwork, accounts payables, accounts receivables drop shipping etc.

2. Is this company registered with the BBB?

3. Who is involved with the company?

4. Have they been featured in different magazines?

5. How long have they been in business?  If it's under 5 years your taking a risk.  Did they make the Inc 500 rating in their first five years?

6. Do they have a physical address that you can go to? Check for an address not just a P.O. Box

7. Where are their headquarters?

8. How does the business work?  How do you make money? etc.

So many different things to make sure the company your getting involved in is straight.  If it's a job, you don't pay.  If your partnering up as a business for yourself, then you do.

If this is a different one, go through the stories with a fine tooth comb!

If you really want to work from home, You actually have a few different options. There are a couple different home jobs you can do. Understand that they are minimum wage earnings, so you won't make a sufficient amount of money. After taxes, you will end up making below minimum wage.  Here's a couple URL's you can take a look at and apply.  I can't guarnatee that you'll get the job, home jobs are high in demand because of the gas prices which causes food and everything else to go up, but you can apply.

If you need more then a minimum wage job, then I suggest you take a look at a home based business opportunity. There are plenty of options out there through many different industries.If you'd like some ideas on home based businesses, I've created a blog on my yahoo 360 page on this topic. Over half a dozen different industries to take a look at. I've had friends of mine who are in different industries and have their own business inside a business and do very well. A lot of information on my blog on scams, reports, bbb and a lot of other things you should read on. The URL to that is:

If you have any questions, you should email my friend Tiffany  at [e-mail]

Good Luck!

Answer 2

I received the same email. The information sounds interesting but after I Googled processathome, I found that it has SCAM written all over it. Nothing positive to say about the company and it's founder. If you discover different let us know.
