does anyone know of real telecommuting jobs?

Don't ever pay money up front for any job. Up front fees are a warning sign for you that the job is not legitamate and that you should start searching elseware. If you hear about a company, check and see if people complain it on some gripe web sites like the www.ripoffreport.com, www.scam.com or quackwatch. Scambusters.org would also be good for you to visit. Also check out this site: http://www.armydiller.com/financial-scam... I would start to rething how you job hunt. Maybe go see a job counselor at your Department of Labor. Also, call up some hr offices for some companies that you would like to work for. Ask if they have telecommuting or know anyone that does
