Hi'a
I keep seeing these adverts in the papers or on the internet for working from home internet jobs. I am sure most of them are scams as they ask for money upfront and even when the promise faithfully on the websites that they are totally legal i still have my doubts.
Has anyone had any good or bad experiences with these sites ??
Someone must be making some money somewhere as there seems to be getting more and more of them each time i read the papers.

I've no direct experience of such home jobs but I am very skeptical of them.
If it sounds too good to be true - it probably is.
I've yet to meet anyone who has done well out of these "schemes" - just people trying to push you into them.

I think you're right. Any ad that asks for money, promises great returns, but won't tell you what you have to do is definitely one to give a miss as far as I'm concerned!

Have looked into this myself.
Most are scams. Be wary of ones that spend pages telling you how much wealth you can create without telling you exactly what they do! Really annoying! It usually ends up to be a direct scam or you have to spend hours doing clicking to get peanuts. ******** are one company who disguise themselves in many forms, they are a genuine company but I don't like their dishonest marketing and not everyone wants to sell products online.
Also if they ask for any money upfront, be very wary.
Even just looking at these sites means you will get spammed for ages.
The only one I have found to be worth looking at is medical transcription - you sign up to do some training, and once you have passed their tests, they send you actual tapes to transcribe. I have a friend doing this - it's hard work but earns a little on the side. And you become qualified in something that you can get a job with later on. You have to learn all those medical terminologies (or at least how to spell them!).

Thanks for your replies
I think i might just give it a miss and stop looking through all those websites hoping to find an honest one.
:D
