Work from home income? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

missPenny · 09-12-2007, 05:24 AM

Does anyone here participate in a work-from-home business? You know... the kind you see advertised in the paper all the time? I know that 90% of them are scams so I'm interested to see if anyone knows of a legitimate one.

I work from home during the day for my company and freelance in the evenings, but sometimes I just want some "mindless" work that can bring in some additional income.

Thanks!

Hey thanks for that. I am always looking for a couple extra bucks. Do you know what they pay?

Oooo youre welcome! Well when I used to work there it was $7/hour plus incentives....

Bizzymammabee · 09-12-2007, 06:58 AM

Thanks!! It's amazing how many ads there are for work at home..most are scams. They get people to pay to get the information and nothing really ever pans out of them.

Its been my experience that if they may you pay for something upfront - that its a scam...I know of a couple of other agencies that do work from home - i'll find the list and post it for everyone later..

One company is called Liveops...thier site is:
http://www.liveops.com/

Another is Alpine Acces:
http://www.alpineaccess.com/external/index.html

And the last one I know about is west:
http://www.workathomeagent.com/Login.aspx

I have worked for 1800 flowers as well as Liveops.....West is also a good one.
They are all real legitimate companies
Good luck!

Interesting!

I was thinking about doing this when I was out of work. I did "apply" to a couple of ads. YOU have to send them money and they send you a list of companys that are looking for home workers. I would be careful. Like one poster said...this could be a scam and, after watching the news for the past couple of nights, there seems to be alot of scamming going on....

yorkieK9trainer · 09-15-2007, 06:32 AM

I just applied at "West".
Everything was quite easy and smooth, but I must tell everyone reading this post that after completion of everything, there is a small link to a survey that they'd like you to fill out (certainly not required) but this whole "survey" takes you to a completely new pop-up window that requests information for tax purposes.
Naturally it asks for your social security number and some other details NOT asked on your application.

Point is, I didn't fill that part out. I just closed the pop up attached to West's final paper. If they want that info. from me, they can fax or send me an official document in the mail that I can keep a copy of for my own records of submission to West.
(I didn't feel comfortable w/ it because it wasn't a secure page, if for no other reason.)
THANKS for the recommendation!

JMO but,,,,I would NEVER give out my SS# over the internet like that...I would be very careful about that...I have a BIG problem trusting people with personal stuff like that.
