always see the ads in the paper and leaflets come through my door saying earn a second income working from home, no experience earn upto £500 a week working from home.
they never tell you whats involved and always ask you to call up... whats the deal here? anybody called them? what do they want you to do?

by the way i dont every expect to make £500 form anything like this, but an extra £50 would go a long way!

They are all "sweat shop" offers.
Something like sell 2000 of these and you will get 50p. If the jobs were that good they wouldn't be advertising. Also, they usually only have mobile telephone numbers on!!
If they have a head office address and land line number call them and ask.
Look on line if they dare to give a company name. But, as a rule, the sweat you put in never matches their advertised "potential" earning figure.
I'll bet that £500 is their manager's pay as he takes his commission from all the stuff you do for them.
So, don't do it.

This was on the TV, Ester Ranzan exposed them as frauds, how about this one then,
Me and my boss were out driving and had to stop at traffic lights, in front of us was one of those little electric smart cars, accross the back window was an advert saying some thing along the lines of " do you want to run a successful business, and be on your way to your first million ? then ring this number now 00000000
My boss rang the number, we could see the guy answer the phone in front of us, he asked for the secret of his success because he was sick of driving around in his new jag and wanted a cute smart car like his !!!!!!
The rather embarrassed guy put the phone down ,
There all out to make a quick few quid at the expense of gullable people, it should be made a criminal offence punishable by castration

t3,
Anything that would involve 500 quid a week within the comforts of your home would involve something illegal if it were easy or hard work regardless of whether you work at home or elsewhere.
I suppose you could always call from a booth if you don't want them to have your home or mobile number...see what's up!
P.S. (posted 1/29/07 @ 0110 EDT) - There is a link to a "dorm check" posted with an answer...it may be legitimate, I do not know, but I would be EXTREMELY weary of passing personal info.over the web without a secure server...just my 2 cents!)

not sure about this company but hits4pay is legit.........i read emails at home with my kids and get paid to do it. its really simple and doesnt cost anything.... i dont trust websites that want money. so i ended up at hits4pay. no sign up fees and it doesnt promise youll make thousands a day. its slow going at first. you get paid $10.00 to sign up and $0.02 per email you read. these emails are not sent to an email address, the website has an internal inbox. (really nice). so i did it for a few days... i averaged about 7-10 emails a day... well $0.20 a day wasnt gonna help. so i started recruiting others. that when you make the big bucks!!! I have 55 people directly under me and 54 people under them... so now lets say that only half of them read their emails everyday (10 emails x 55 people x 0.01) Im making $5.50/day for doing nothing!!!! Thats $170.50/month FOR FREE!!! But why wouldnt everyone read the emails??? You get paid to sit at home and look at advertisements!!! You do this while you watch t.v.? and you dont get paid!!!!
im also looking into other websites that have no sign up fees or any other fees... i let all my referrals know my findings good and bad....if you do decide to sign up please join my team via my yahoo 360 page or this link below...
hope this helps:)

This is a real company that sells nutritional supplements, all natural cleaning supplies, mag. and etc. You can make 30-60% on everything you sell. Then if you get people to join then you will make money off of everything that they sell. Great money making opportunity. And the best part is that it is FREE.

They ask you to send some money to get an information pack. You send the money and the information pack arrives The information pack is just instructions telling you to put up an advert getting people to send you money in exchange for an information pack, telling them to put an advert in the paper........
