    That's probably how THEY are making an extra $200 to $500 a week, posting ads like that hoping someone will send them the money. I've heard of deals like that and I'd say it's most likely a scam.

    "There is a one-time fee of $20.00 to get started. This is to weed out any applicants who aren’t serious and to cover our costs of training materials."

    LOL - I thought that was the cost of doing business. I believe you are right, it sounds like a scam!

    What is sad is that there are probably enough people out there who believe them and they make a killing off of the gullible people.

    They ought to be hung up by their toenails in my opinion, they are most likely preying on the desperate anyway!

    You shouldn't have to pay anyone for having to work for them.

    "LEARN HOW TO GET A MILLION PEOPLE TO SEND YOU A DOLLAR EACH!!

    A long time ago I was looking for a work at home deal. My sister paid $30 for a book on work from home jobs. I borrowed the book and then paid $20 for a 'kit' on making bead jewelry. Sounded easy enough. They gave you the blue print and you made ear rings etc... they paid you a few bucks for each piece. Well NONE of my jewelry got accepted. They found fault with each and every piece. I must have strung a million beads before I figured out they were never going to accept my work....

    So now whenever I get a hair brained idea, my husband says "Remember the beads!". :lol: :lol:

    The same sort of thing happened to my Mom many years ago, except that it was Christmas potholders, LOL! We made tons of them and none of them ever met their specifications. Keep in mind, my Mom made my wedding dress, so she definately knew how to sew! So don't feel like you were the only one! :oops:
