Hey all, a while back I payed 9.95$ for training materials for a data entry work from home. Sure it was easy, and i made a bit of money, but also a lot of enemies! Some ppl threatened to report me to authorities, and this one person even opened a complaint file to the Canadian fraud departement!! I didn't realize what i was doing was illegal. All those websites, that say
requirements: must be 18 yrs of age, must have valid email adress, must have internet connection, must have basic typing skills and computer knowledge.
pay one time fee of 9.95 or 10.95 or 12.95 or some even go up to 25 or 35$
They are all illlegal!! So don't sign up, even though you will make money, it is not legal!!

Thank you so much. I was looking at things like that to start. But now that you've warned me I won't. Great heads up!

Yeah, you have to be really careful of that kind of stuff. I have heard a lot of horror stories from some of them. I was looking to make some extra money and accidentally found something that works pretty good - and is totally legal. I do this in addition to my regular full-time job and have found it to be very rewarding. I did some homework on it though before I started to make sure it was a good company and all that.

I was looking to save money on some of the things that I use every day. After talking with a friend, I found out that not only is she saving money, but she also makes money by promoting the company. It's a great company, they're a member of the Better Business Bureau, have been around for a while and are steadily growing. And their compensation plan is pretty good too. Message me if you'd like to learn more.

I already knew of this. I found that out last year. I to recived something about that in my email. I decided to check it out for a while. After checking it out i found out that it was not exactly legal work. So i decided that it was not for me. I am sorry that you got your self in that mess. But it will all work out in the end. This has been my two cents take it for what its worth.
