Can you say "FRAUD"? I knew you could!

Stay away, stay away, stay away!!

From TOP 2005 SCAMS.COM:

"Aug 23 2006
From the desk of David Grisman - Online Fraud Investigator

Dear Friend,

The Set-Up:
You see a job offer for "Home Based Assembly" to perform sewing or crafting work from home. The job might require that you make baby clothes, jewelry, Christmas ornaments, small toys or plastic signs and claims to pay you $30 per hour.

The Scam:
This is a common scam. These programs often require you to invest hundreds of dollars in equipment or supplies or many hours of time to produce goods for a company who has promised to buy them. For example, you might be required to buy a "special" sewing machine, or specific materials required to make the crafts. You're not allowed to buy the materials yourself. To insure quality and uniformity of the product, you must use the provided materials, according to the scammer. After you send in your fee you will receive barely legible instructions and materials far inferior to what you could have purchased on your own.

The Cold Hard Truth:
After you purchase the supplies or equipment and perform the required tasks, the company will not pay you for your efforts. Many consumers, for example, have encountered companies that refuse to pay for their work because it did not meet "quality standards." Unfortunately, no work is ever "up to standard." Thus you are left with relatively expensive equipment and supplies, and no income. Even if the ad "guarantees a full refund," don't be swindled. You will never be able to obtain a refund from these scammers.

I suggest you stay away from these companies.
There are other legitimate, long term ways to make a good living on the Internet far better then home assembly jobs."

Actually, Why would you want to work for someone else, make the Pins yourself and then start your own little business....you can sell these pins at local Churches, and Senior Citizen Homes, display at local merchants, or Flea Markets.

Some "Home based businesses" are valid, and yes, though you have to make an initial investment, it is a good idea to check out the business beforehand.

I have bought a lot of these pins you are talking about from friends and even at a "Guardian Angel Pin" Party....Good luck, I'll buy one from ya.
