    Question Anyone ever hear of this type of work at home opportunity?

    http://www.easyphotobiz.com/index.htm?hop=ecw02

    I checked on the BBB site and they had one bad report, but have only been in business since Feb. of this year.

    Looks like another "If it's sounds too good to be true." kind of thing to me.

    What do you think?

    I can see it being for some type of collections companies. I am just guessing tho. It wouldn't be bad if it was for real estate companies...

    Any work from home type business that requires you to pay them a fee no matter the price would make me wary. I've heard Clark Howard and many other financial gurus say to stay away from these type of offers.

    I had been looking for a work at home job since 1994, but it wasn't until I had an accident this year and could not drive that I finally found one (well a few more than one). You can find companies that hire you to work from your home and it doesn't cost a penny. I am doing customer service work and transcription work from my home. For most jobs you need a DSL line.

    There are 2 great websites:
    www.wahm.com
    www.workplacelikehome.com

    Have fun and good luck!

    Sounds like a scam to me.

    Three reasons:
    1. He hypes it up to much in the first paragraph. Real businesses dont' need that much introduction. Real businesses have more people then they can handle working for them, so they dont' need to lure people in that bad.

    2.
    For every person that has a mortgage or car note...your services will be needed. For every business that is financed through a bank...your services would be needed.
    I know that the bank does not come look at my car. No really, they don't. Nor do they come to look at my house. And he is saying they do. Which makes me doubt everything else he says.

    3. Paying up front for something just makes me weary. End of story.

    Hello,

    The field of work in legit, however this opportunity is not. I am a field rep for several different companies. What this sounds like is just a compilation of information on how to get started in the industry, all of which you can find out on your own doing your own research. Just my 2 cents.

    I am sorry, it sounds scammy to me too. I would be very careful. I don't think any reputable company would charge anyone to work for them.

    Definitely a scam.. I always remember this. If I were to apply to a job in the local paper and they asked me for money I'd walk out and laugh.. lol

    I do WAHA and love it! I'm a rep for pizza hut and take orders from my house at my convienence. That is the first legit job I found that didn't say they were hiring and then I never got a call back!! I wish I could find another but one is good for now!
