Just like manny people here on my lot i though i could make some extra money by working few hours from my home, making web pages. I found a firm on a recruting site, no experience needed, no age limit if u just know the work than u are hired and with a big salary. After sending all my documents, after getting the work contract from them, after a month of hard work the truth hit me in my had. No money,the firm was gone, the mail adress wasn't available anymore, the web page was deleted...and of course no money....is there a chance on how u can find out if a firm trully exist...because i don't care very much about the money but about my personal dates.

Well sorry to hear this. You did not have to put up any money up front did you? I always try to make sure that they are listed by the Better Business Bureau in the state.

Ouch. Sorry to hear about your loss. Sites like that should be punishable by law, and sentenced prison time.

they said it is not their foult, the site on wich the announcment was made is a serious one, i found my recent job because of them so thats why i trusted them...but i think they should search form more details about the firms they give permission to make an announcment..
