Defraud unsuspecting online consumers? I'm thinking about branching out into the freelance article writing business and there seems to be a lot of opportunity in this area to be successful, but, what is disturbing is that this outfit freelance Home Writers can still be in business is mind boggling at best. this website offers a writer a so-call way to get started in the freelance writing business by promising a list of jobs for a membership of $2.95 for a trial but after they charge your account for this amount they also deduct an additional $49.95 for the first month fee and for as long as you are a member of this site. "What a Rip Off?" These thieves continue to fleece consumers who are trying to find work or wanting to start their own online business.What a shame?

Yeah I know what you mean. Those things still exist. It's hard enough to seek the right opportunity, when in actual fact, there are quite a lot; it's just when and how to find it. And these dollar deals just make me uneasy; even if they are legit. I wouldn't shed a dollar to make another dollar. I've always been a firm believer in that.

Yeah, there's many jobs in freelance writing especially in writing web content. A lot of entry-level writing jobs that pays between $1-3 an article, that's not bad for a beginner if you are fast and can keep up with the deadlines. Right now i'm research everything that I can find on the subject and so far writing web articles seems to be the best way to start a freelance writing business.

Yes, there are sites like this which offer a free membership or a minimal fee and then charge you the full amount the next month you're still a member. I was a victim of such a scam. I joined this site for free and then the next month I was charged $29.95. When I tried to cancel my membership, I can't find the page and they said my account doesn't exist but they still charge my credit card. So what I did was to report to my bank of a fraudulent activity and the charges were all withdrawn and I didn't need to pay anything. If such a thing were to happen to you just report it to your credit card company. They'll know what to do.
