While I have not tried this myself, I have a friend who did. She tried one of those companies that claim you can process rebates at home for big name companies. Well it might be true that someone out there is doing it but it did not work for her and was a waste of her time and money.

I haven't tried these myself either, but all those stuffing envelopes at home jobs are scams, and so are the assembling products at home are scams too.

Do you think a sticky would be good here on this subject? Kind of like the one we have in Freebies of ones that don't come.

Most of the ones that require you to pay to work for them are scams. I only know of 1 that isn't a scam and you have to pay.

I forgot to add. you can also check with the better business bureau before starting anything with a company. I have checked out tons of companies and found out that others joined and were scammed

Reading the fine print before you sign up for anything is always good. I've seen lots lately that say they don't actually have jobs for you..they just give you info to FIND jobs...bunch of scammers.

No real job would make you pay money. Period. Scammers thrive on those who say it's only such and such. Ignore it and move on.
