Process at Home

This company appears to offer a variety of services including a work at home opportunity processing rebates for an initial startup fee of between $39 and $197, and a free software download enabeling the user to view 3000 TV channels from their home computer. Although the company's website offers a free software download, it fails to disclose that only the software download is free. Services associated with the download are billed at $59.99 per month.

On-line users should exercise caution when browsing the Internet or responding to spam e-mails with unsolicited offers. Talented individuals can use a Web Page to create a company that looks very legitimate, but just because an ad looks legitimate on the computer screen, is no reason to assume it is. Traditional work-at-home schemes, such as making handicrafts or stuffing envelopes, have been replaced by offers to use your home PC to make money fast in your spare time. Con artists who previously touted scams through newspapers, U.S. mail and telemarketing are using computers to reach potential victims. They can sit at their keyboard and reach hundreds of thousands of people, pretty much for free, in a short period of time. Getting a phony ad or message out is now cheap and easy. To evaluate tempting, on-line solicitations which offer a chance to earn money by working at home, follow the same signals that tip you off to potential frauds in print and other media.

We believe this company's advertising is deceptive and misleading based on their failure to disclose the terms and conditions of their offer, their use of unverifiable testimonials, and their use of high unsubstantiated earnings claims. On November 26, 2008, we wrote to this company asking for contact information for the testimonials used on their website, the names and contact information for the advertised 4,389 people who are earning $225 or more from the comfort of their home; the names and contact information for respondents making $117, 000 a year; and proof of their affiliation with the large corporations listed on their website they claim "need your help from home now." To date we have not received a response.

Watch out for warning signs to questionable online advertising, such as overstated claims of product effectiveness, use of hype titles, exaggerated claims of potential earnings, profits, or part-time earnings, or claims of “inside” information. Also, be leery of offers which require money for instructions or merchandise before telling you how the plan operates, or if they tell you that no experience is necessary. Anyone victimized by work-at-home offers over the Internet can file a complaint online or off-line with their Better Business Bureau. Consumers who remain silent allow others to be swindled by these fraudulent operators.
