Question

this is suposed to be a company that allows you to work from home by processing applications. you are supposed to get paid 20 dollars for each application you process. im not sure if it is a scam or not. i need to know all the info i can about the company. it doesnt explain exactly how everything is suposed to work. any information will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

TOTALLY A SCAM!!!! DO NOT DO IT!!!! What it is is that you pay them $20 (via paypal usually) and they send you your "training materials" which is basically teaching you to post the same thing and get $20 from every other sucker that falls for it!!!! Do not do it!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Hi littleredxxs, I am not too sure if its a scam or not but would think twice when a so called large company is using a free e-mail service like Yahoo. There is nothing wrong with yahoo but it doesn't sound to professional.

I work from home on line and love it. There is good/great money to be made from home online but be wary of scams.

If you would like to know more about what we do feel free to e-mail me @ [e-mail]

I can point you in the right direction to some really good information then you can make an informed decision.

I hope this helps you out.

To your success

Its a scam..... Eventually you will be asked for money or personal information. Until then you are safe.

One good tip off is that direct questions are seldom answered directly but are deflected with answers like 'there is absolutely no risk'.

A lot of these come from England or from African Nations hence they have often been lumped together and called Nigerian Scams based upon the old Nigerian letter scam.

For some enlightening and sometimes funny reading of situations where the person trying to do the scam had the tables turned and actually ended up being scammed visit

www.419eater.com (419 is the nigerian penal code section on this sort of thing). Some of the stories are pretty good.

But in the meantime... save your money for Christmas. You have better odds in winning the lottery.

Answer 4

How many reputable businesses are using a free email service like yahoo? I'd bet it's almost zero.

Even if it's not a scam. And I would say that it is you will not likely make the amount of money that you expect to receive for your time and effort. Many of these piecework jobs (***per application) require that performance is perfect for any pay to be received. One little errror can mean that you are no longer entitled to be paid.

I would trust this as much as somebody walking up to my car window at night and asking if I wanted to make some money really easy.

Answer 5

Some of the most common ripoffs on the Internet are the UK lottery scam and the "found money" scams, often from Nigeria. In all of these scams, if you make the mistake of contacting the con "artists," they will first try to get information about you. This has two purposes: (1) they try to lure you in deeper; and (2) they may use that information for identity theft or to steal from your bank or credit card accounts. Then, they will typically pretend to be sending you something of value. For example, they may send a certificate in the UK lottery scam. In the found money scam, they will send you what appear to be real-looking checks or money orders. Regardless of what they may send you, if they send anything to you at all, it has absolutely NO value. If you get a check from them, even if it looks like it comes from a major bank or institution, if you attempt to deposit it at your local bank, they will hit you with a charge for it because it was a phony deposit. THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO DELETE THE EMAIL. DO NOT EVEN RESPOND! But if you ignore my advice and proceed to contact them, no matter what they say, or what they pretend to give you, or what they claim they will give you, do not.....let me repeat that, DO NOT send THEM ANY MONEY in any form whatsoever. They may ask you to wire funds to a certain account. DON'T DO IT! They may ask you to send a check or money order to a certain address or to give to a certain person. DON'T DO IT. If you do, they will only steal your money and you will never hear from them again, except with a new email or other scam, as you will be on a "sucker's list."

Answer 6

Any legitimate business will NOT use a free e-mail. I use yahoo for my personal, but in my business use a paid service. If you are looking for a home-based-business, do your due-diligence in checking it out. Do not simply do a yahoo or google search on it as those bring up a lot of junk along with real stuff. If you are considering anything in e-commerce, check out www.emarketer.com or www.internetretailer.com. Both of these are outside sources and rank lots of different on-line businesses and will give you a totally unbiased opinion from a business point of view.
