Scam. Total scam.Here are some red flags that I noticed...
1. A company that is using a Yahoo email address. A legitimate company would have an email address that includes their company name. For example... "info@agencyforworkathome" or "BGates@Microsoft.com". An address that has value to them because it includes their name. Yahoo addresses are free, so they can leave this one and start a new one up without losing a penny.
2. They won't deal with anyone that has an AOL account because AOL blocks their messages.
3. Their phrase "We DO NOT charge any money to get access to our huge database of work from home jobs" is very specific to what they won't charge you for. This leaves the door open to charge you for other things without violating the original advertisement. Maybe you have to use their envelopes or stationary and it's 10x what you'd pay at Staple. It'll be "company policy" that you use it.
What usually happens in these deals (data entry or assemble products) they give you a list of things to do/make/prepare/etc... and when you submit them, they tell you that they don't meet the "standards" of the company and you won't get paid for them. Then, they'll give you more to try to "improve your skill". So, they are getting free labor out of you. If twenty people answer this website, that's twenty people doing a few days labor. Then, another twenty come in the next week. Or, they just make the money off the inflated office supplies they force you to carry.
If you decide to contact them, DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION ABOUT YOURSELF!!! The best work from home jobs are the ones you create yourself with your experience or skill set.
Good luck.

It does not ask you to pay, nor does it ask for a credit card number. If you want to look into it, I'd try it out. But, if they ask for your social, make sure there is an s at the end of their http at the beginning of the address so you know it is a safe site. I have a work at home opportunity for you if you would like to look at it. Just e-mail me and I'll give you the details. Good luck!

My wife got one of these. The jobs are basically assembly from home. You get paid by the piece so if you are fast, you can make more than if you are slow.
She is about to go on maternity leave and is afraid she is going to get bored. I guess well see how it goes.

I didn't go to the website, but I have learned all through life, that if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, THEN IT IS A DUCK. If you don't feel good about this, then don't do it. Listen to your gut feelings.

I'm going to guess that from the looks of it, it is.

I think that most of these are scams.
