Work from home, make thousands a month, shop for a living, just send $29.95 and will get you started on an application. Is this a scam? Do people really send there credit card information to these people? Can anyone be trusted? Is it all about the buck? Aren't there any decent people left in the world. And just how is an unemployed person supose to come up with 20 to 50 dollars to put in an application on what I personnally consider a dream job?
To good to be true, or is it really easy as send the money and get a great job watching t.v. or shopping and making thousands of dollars a day?!!!

I had a friend lose $200 start up money to become a medical transcriptionist. The instructional tape she received over explained the keyboard on a computer. For example, where the "s" key is located. Then referred her to the want ads of a local newspaper to look for a job. Needless to say, she never got her money back.
plus, how many people do you know are rich working from home without a higher education.
I would suggest that you use all of your spare time in education.
Some library's sell used college books for $1.
I wish you well with whatever you decide.

I have been searching for such a honest job for past 6 months, nd till now no luck!
I am very wary of online job/survey stuff now, having been duped twice,
I suggest u also please check out the legitimacy of the job/survey u r joining,
Some widely used resources for checking them are the Better Business Bureau (www.bbb.org) and the national fraud center (www.fraud.org).
You can find more detailed information about a company at

nd plz dont ever pay anything to anyone to get a job!
all the best :)

If they were legit, they wouldn't ask for money up front. But i'm sure if you keep searching "work from home" you may find a couple of realistic opportunities that don't ask for money up front. Just don't expect to get wealthy from them. And last, the old saying: "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is"

if you have to pay upfront, its a rip off, its as simple as that. I have seen people year in year out fall for these scams, when I worked in a welfare office people would come complaining after they had been duped, but its always too late by then.

Sounds like a scam to me. Any reputable employer would not charge to apply.
