i saw a website today and i thought, is it possible to work from home and get 300-500 dollars of typing job? i doubted, the website offers this kind of job and it claims that anyone with an internet access, basic computer skill and english could do this job. but the website says, it has to send some training material and it costs 24 dollars, has anyone done this kind of job before? and just give some advice, thanks!

Don't pay any money to anyone for a work at home job. Legitimate sites will provide you with everything you need to work at home as long as you have the computer capability for their software and high speed internet which is what most require. Check out www.wahm.com. This is a great site for work at home moms and there is great information on their message boards about legitimate sites. Also, they post work at home jobs all the time which are legitimate. Good luck!

becareful of scams like this the internet is full of this kind of stuff...You should never have to pay for training materials, they say they charge to make sure that you are really interested well guess what if we wasnt really interested we would not have applied in the first place. also the ones that pay you to stuff envelopes is a scam.. never pay for anything up front for anything. You have been given alot of websites here from members go ahead and check these out, you might get into somethiong really nice. good luck have a nice day

I too am looking for a typing job at home. That is the main reason I read your discussion. I wanted to read what other people are saying about it. I have seen these sites your talking about and I am also very wiery about signing up on any of them. I just got an email from a company saying I could buy a trial package for 30 days for only $2.95. I am thinking about signing on with them but I don't want to be scammed. I know it is only a little bit if money but if I were to buy into all these sites and they are scams than it could and would add up to a lot of money. So I see everyone who has responded to your discussion says the same thing. They are just scams.

Well here's the thing. Never join websites that asks you to pay. You are the one executing the job. They should pay you and not the other way around. If you really want to do typing jobs. You should be a freelancer and join freelancing websites where you could be protected as buyers find you. If you want to know some sites, PM me.

These are scams. Any site that wants you to pay money up front to make money can't be trusted. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Please don't run after these Internet scams! You will never be getting paid. If it asks any payment, don't pay even by mistake. These are super-scams in the Internet! Thanks.

Most of these websites which ask for money will be scams. Don't fall into their traps. Yes. Everyone gets tempted when we see $300 - $500, but the reality is unless you get referred by a trusted source, there is no point in trusting those kind of websites. Our uncertainty is their strength. There are some people who are uncertain but decide not to give those sites a shot, but there are even more who are uncertain, but they decide to give those sites a shot. Even if they lure only a few people into their program, they would have had earned their money. And we will have nothing to earn. Hence be extremely careful before paying any of these sites.
