Default I smell another scam---but MAYBE now

Ok, so I was listening to Dr. Laura yesterday and she advertised a new work at home website.

I KNOW I have talked about working at home before, and have been burned, but this one seems legit. However their sales pitch is strong when you go to their website, it is endorsed by MANY major TV and radio personalities and is A+ rated by the BBB.

What do you think?

The site is: www.incomeathome.com

Gosh, Earl, I don't know. I have heard that if a work at home company asks you to pay anything it is not a legit company. I wasn't going to fill out the form to find out if they charge. I would do some more checking on it and maybe contact the BBB directly.

I do know that there are places that hire people for legal cases. Basically, you review the case, make a "judgment" as if you were a juror, and send it back. It's a way for lawyers to find out how to proceed with a case. I can't remember the website where you sign up. The work is sporadic though. A friend of mine was going to do it but found out that the work wasn't consistent and she needed a regular income.

RED FLAGS always go up for me when I read and hear about these make money at home or in some other way fast.

If all this is true then why is it that so many people are trying to make money in this terrible economy and can't find jobs.

I believe it is all scams!!!!!!!

Why not research it? If you are on this forum you have access to Google and other search engines, and all you have to do is a search on "incomeathome" or whatever entity you are curious about. Here is one review I found, but I recommend reading many, as many as you can find. You can also use search terms like "complaints" and "investigation" as well as looking at reviews. BEWARE: Testimonials are not the same as reviews, and often are fictionalized, including the photos. And remember, you can not automatically believe everything you read, especially online. If you can not take time to investigate an opportunity thoroughly you should pass it by.

http://www.reviewopedia.com/incomeathome.com.htm

And remember, most online business is sales of some kind, and your income relies on you making those sales/contacts/etc. In the current economy, starting up in sales is tough, and will require a good deal of time and effort. And "deals" like the one this thread is referring to require continued commitment and investment. And they basically just teach you how to market and advertise . . . they don't set you up with a payceck and steady income for your $9.95, $39.95, or $59.95. If they did, unemployment would not be so high.

And many of these offers say you can work as little as, for instance, two hours a day. Remember, that is a minimum, and the incomes they "promise" did not come from minimal effort.
