Posted on 03/15/2007 7:32:30 AM PDT by hsmomx3

Anyone familar with this company and if so, how much does something like this pay? It is processing rebates at home on your computer. It does not say at the site but here is the link:

Most, if not all work at home things, are scams. Be very careful.

I would ditto that. It's not going to be worth your time. They won't pay much and will prbably wind up ripping you off somehow.

Sometimes folks have desperate needs to work at home for some money as well as to be available to their kids.

Compassion is a FREEPER hallmark. Evidently not 100% across the board.

Which makes them easy prey for the work-at-home scam industry. Encouraging desperate people get ripped off is not compassion. Compassion is speaking the truth and helping them avoid becoming victims.

Do you get paid based on the number of hits to that site?

No, you get paid per item you input on your computer.

And the reason why this is sounds interesting is because of the flexibility, no punching in a timeclock, if need be, you can jump in your car and get sick kids, or if they have early release days, you can get them or take them to appts. without having to think about how much work you are going to miss.

From what I have been told, they are a legit. company.

“If it sounds too good to be true, then most likely it is too good be true”

Unless you beat the millions to one odds and win the lottery – there are no “overnight” success stories. So called overnight success stories rarely tell the back story of all the hard work and scarifies that took place before the “overnight” success.

Pyramid schemes are named so because only the person at the top of the pyramid wins, everyone else below bears the increasing weight of the scam.

Anyone can put up a flashy website now days. Flashy website does not equal legitimacy.

"There's a sucker born every minute...and two to take 'em."

And if you found a way to get rich working at home while wearing your bath robe and fuzzy slippers, making your own hours with little investment (and not really working all that hard to boot) why would you be so anxious to share that knowledge with others? I wouldn’t. I’d want to keep that little secret to myself and limit the competition – wouldn’t you?

Unless of course the real money is made in selling the idea (probably unrealistic and unproven) to other people like me who want to get rich but lack my imagination and penchant for taking advantage of other peoples greed and gullibility.

If that doesn’t convince you, then I have a time shares in a future upscale development currently located in some swamp land in S. Louisiana to sell you, it’s a great investment! Send me a deposit now to get in early. And I have guaranteed stock tips. I alone know how to win at poker. Want to lose weight without diet and exercise? Looking for natural male “enhancement”? Send me your money and I’ll share my secrets with and you alone. And I have friends in Nigeria who want to send you emails. They have free money to send you, they just need your bank account number to initiate the transfer.

Still not convinced? Then check out:

“From what I have been told, they are a legit. company.”

Yes they are a real company with real clients and real employees but not the kind of company I’d want to be associated with.

You make money but pennies on the dollar while ripping off consumers expecting legitimately earned rebates.

Working for this outfit, I could wear pajamas all day never leave my house but I still couldn’t sleep at night.

Aside from not paying out consumer rebates, they save mucho bucks using at home contract workers - no payroll taxes (you pay self employment tax) no benefits, little overhead.

Seriously. Be careful, be very careful.

Well stated. I'd have said all that too, if I had time. But I'm too busy working at home (yes, I have a legitimate home occupation, but it required college, a professional degree, and 12 years of experience to get to the place where I could pull it off).

Due to health I also am looking for a way to eke out a living at home.

Do you know anyone who does well enough selling stuff on Ebay? What do you think of Ebay?

I don't know where to start.

I have sold homeschool books on ebay. By the time you pay the fees and postage, I found that it wasn't all that great. I guess it depends on how much you want to make.

I was miffed when I could not sell my BJUP books for homeschoolers. I can sell ABeka but not BJUP--strange.

In my situation, it is not about making a lot of money--just enough to pay groceries and a few bills. No such thing as a get rich quick job as far as I am concerned.

If I can make at least $200 working from home per week, I would be satisfied with that.

I guess everybody here but me knows what in the world ABeka and BJUP are.

I admire people who do think of a way to make a living or at least supplement themselves by working at home.
