Nationwide Product Center

This company offers a guide for a fee of $34.95, which reportedly lists hundreds of companies that are looking for individuals to work from their homes assembling products, and companies looking for independent contractors to promote their products and services. In June of 1997, we asked this company to substantiate their earning claims that a person could make up to $760 per week. While the company did provide the Better Business Bureau information on the services they offer, they failed to substantiate earning claims. We urge caution. In spite of any promises to the contrary, our experience indicates companies listed in books of work at home offers charge fees to get started. Complaints against the numerous work at home offers known to the Bureau allege misrepresentation of offers and failure to honor money back guarantees. Those against home assembly offers of any kind go on to allege work takes longer than indicated and difficulty obtaining pay because acceptance standards are difficult if not impossible to meet. While offers may vary somewhat, the vast majority end up with the same complaint history. Typically, the only one profiting from work at home offers is the company itself. Of the hundreds of work at home companies in our files, not one ever proved the earnings claims it made in its advertising or promotional literature.
