I know I am. I am sick to death of these get rich quick things. I found this one that claimed data entry/type at home, it was even on the top 10 work at home sites. I purchased it and there wasnt anything about data entry or typing at home in there. Yes, he showed you how to make some money, but only if you want to spend a lot of money. It claimed to be 100% money back guarantee, we shall see, since I requested my money back tonight. I got involved in a paid to site and that was great, except the only real way to make money on them is to do the free trial adds, which involve using your credit card. Let me tell you, if you do that be prepared to have your cc company, or bank suspend your account thinking that someone stole your card, so you have to call in and fix it (that has happened to everyone I know that has done it). I am sick to death of these adds and sites. They are everywhere. If you do a paid to take surveys, DO NOT put in your real phone number because you will get 100 calls from them. I know you have to spend money to make money, and thats ok, what I am tired of is the false adds. They claim things like type at home jobs (like what I purchased) then you buy it and it has NOTHING to do with typing at home. They did list some sites if you want to try and get hired by a company (a few sites and I had already found ALL of them at a work a home mom site FOR FREE). I also got a call from someone and I listened in on a phone seminar, they wanted me to ask 10 of my friends for $3500 then I would get it back ect. I am sorry, but that is NOT gona happen. What irriated me more is they kept saying it wasnt a pyramid scheme, call it what you want, but it basically was. So have any of you been scamed? If so share your experiences here and maybe save someone else some future trouble.

No problem ;) I am looking for a telecommunication job (work at home) but I dont want to do telemarketing. Something that involves either typing or data entry, phones, customer service ect. I already have a custom letter writing business (havent really started yet). Done tons of "home based" business' ect. I used to sell pampered chef ect, not really looking for anything like that again. I just want to do real work, at home, seem simple enough doesnt it? Ya, I thought so too. LOL

There are call center jobs you can look into. Ive tried them and I have made money. What it entails is........ppl call into the center and it routes to your home. You fill out the info and process the order. They are calls from the infomercials on tv. go to www.wahm.com then to job listings. Hope you find what your looking for!

I always suggests my friends that don't pay any amount in order that you will be paid more because it is all scams which asks money and then they don't even pay the amount we have invested in their scam companies...................
