Please Advise!?!? Is this legal?
|
I have been recently looking for a new job and have come across ALOT of ads for customer service/data entry/clerical positions where you work from home. All of the ads tell you that you can make between 100-500 a week. They ask you to reply to their ad via email and then they send you a response telling you very little about the position in a very lengthy email. They also tell you that in the training materials all of your questions will be answered and that is when they tell you that they charge a certain amount to send you the "training material." They validate them charging for the "training material" by telling you that they have spent alot of money sending out training materials to people who were not seriously interested in the position.Now here is where they part I am not sure if legal comes in. They have you download the "training material" and it tells you to ~~ REPOST THE SAME AD OR SIMILAR ADS JUST LIKE THE ONE YOU JUST RESPONDED TO. Is this really legal?

As the first two posters wrote they are ALL SCAMS. If you go to the better business bureau website they have an entire story advising consumers to stay away from these establishments. I also checked out the website poster number 3 told you to go to. www.liveopts.com. I could not locate them at all nor could I find there domain registration information. |

the one your talking about sounds like a scam but there are legit ones like www.liveops.com which you can work home from. GMA did a show on it the other day and mentioned that website above. |

Not only avoid them, report them to your state's attorney general |

Any time you have to pay to get the information should send up the red flag. You won't be getting paid to do anything, just ripped off. |

There are some legit jobs onlne like that, but most of these are scams.
I know of one where this person was told she could make 300.00 a day.... she got her first check 4 weeks into the work she did for them.... it was 1% of that. yep! 3.00.
don't spend your time on those email ads. It's all for their benefit, not yours. |
