never heard of the 49.95 fee:
30.00 for back ground checks only is ok: because so many go into call center work and don’t stay can’t hack it for what ever reason.
so it’s fair to pay for your own back ground check but that’s it!
apply only to the jobs listed on the rat race link provided: they have been prescreened!

The general rule of thumb: don’t get caught up in companies that charge a fee. It is assumed that they are scams.
My suggestion would be to apply at West. They don’t charge a fee. I worked for them for a year. I know other people who had good results with them, too.

I can’t really speak for the online survey or data entry jobs, but I work from home as a designer with Latasia jewelry and love it! The company has been in business for over 15 years and is a member of the DSA. The job is fun, easy and the money is great. I’m not sure what kind of interests you have but it may be an option for you to consider. I’d be happy to send you some info if you’d like and can help you get started for free. I don’t want to to break any of the yahoo rules, so if you’re intereseted in hearing more, my contact info is on my profile.
Good luck!

Unfortunately, many of the online offers give you information to get started posting ad’s and waiting for income that never appears, many of them are all the same with tons of incorrect and outdated information. I do work from home with a legitimate company, we offer discount health and dental benefits. We offer two ways to work from home, incredible training, mentors, benefits, 401K, I absolutely love it, and I believe in the company and the product. You can visit my site, and I would be happy to answer any questions, Just contact me.

yeah seems like 49.95 is the standard. Most are scams at least from what I have seen. There is a site that provides lots of information about programs and reviews only the programs that were proven not to be scams. http://www.squidoo.com/typingathome is the site. Take a look, good luck

Saying they are all scamms is a pretty general statement dont you think. I would say that 98% of them are scamms but not all of them. I myself have been scammed at least 20 times. The only one I joined that was legitimate in my eyes was Shaklee. I just made my first $150 check this last week. It cost me $20 to join. They have been around 50 years producing green products for personal use and household use. My day job is a engineering manager and I make $85,000 a year at that job. If my team continues to grow the way it is now at Shaklee in 3 years I will retire. So in my opinion not all internet marketing is a scamm. Good luck with your search.http://www.shaklee.net/robert_cannon

A job that makes you pay a fee is a scam. Jobs should always be free. If you want to work from home you should find a home base business that has a high conversion rate.I have a little 20 dollar business that i have gotten a little bit over 2,000 this month and i just started. Low price online business is the best place to start for a newbie.Anything you need i am here

Top 10 Scams and Rip-Offs
1.Scams and Rip-Offs} Acai Supplements and Other “Free” Trial Offers – Ads offering trial offers for teeth whiteners, acai anti-aging pills and other miracle supplements blanket the Internet, including trusted Web sites of national news organizations. The marketing campaigns often falsely claimed an endorsement by Oprah, Rachel Ray and Doctor Oz. Thousands of consumers complained to BBB that the free trial actually cost them as much as hundreds of dollars, month after month.

2.Scams and Rip-Offs} Stimulus/Government Grant Scams – Even before President Obama announced the stimulus plan in February, scammers had already set up schemes for misleading consumers and small business owners into thinking they could get a piece of the pie. Offers for worthless assistance and advice on how to get government grants bombarded consumers online, over the phone and via mail and e-mail.

3.Scams and Rip-Offs} Robocalls – Owning a cell phone or having their phone number on the do-not-call list did not help thousands of people across the US put a stop to harassing automated telemarketing calls in 2009. The robocalls often claimed that their auto warranty was about to expire—which wasn’t true—or offered help in reducing their interest rate on their credit card. The prevalence of robocalls violating federal telemarketing laws prompted the FTC to increase restrictions on the practice in 2009.

4.Scams and Rip-Offs} Lottery/Sweepstakes Scam – The victim receives a letter in the mail pretending to be from Reader’s Digest, Publisher’s Clearing House or a phony foreign lottery claiming that he or she has won millions. The letter comes with a check that represents only a portion of the total winnings. In order to get the rest, the victim has to deposit the check and then wire hundreds of dollars back to the scammers supposedly to cover taxes or some other bogus fee. The victim wires the money, but the prize never arrives.

5.Scams and Rip-Offs} Job Hunter Scams –Scams targeting job hunters vary and include attempts to gain access to personal information such as bank account or social security numbers and requirements to pay a fee in order to even be considered for the job. Another common scam was reported to BBB by job hunters who were told by a prospective employer that they had to check their credit report before being considered for a job. The job offer is actually a marketing ploy for online credit monitoring that costs the victim every month until they cancel.

6.Scams and Rip-Offs} Google Work from Home Scam – Countless Web sites cropped up in 2009 that claimed you could learn how to make money from home using Google or Twitter and offered a free trial of learning materials. The Web sites often included the Google or Twitter moniker and logo. As a result, many people who complained to BBB thought they were getting a job with Google or Twitter when in, fact, they were being lured into another misleading free-trial offer and were billed every month for the materials and other mystery charges that added up to hundreds of dollars.

7.Scams and Rip-Offs} Mortgage Foreclosure Rescue/Debt Assistance – Many families are struggling in the current economy and hucksters are offering to help them save their house from foreclosure or help them get out of credit card debt. Unfortunately, victims are paying hundreds of dollars up front for the assistance they desperately need but ultimately never receive.

8.Scams and Rip-Offs} Mystery Shopping – Consumers across the country thought that they could make some extra money by becoming a secret shopper and evaluating the customer service of various stores. The victim is asked to evaluate their shopping experience at a few stores as well as a money wiring service such as Western Union or MoneyGram by wiring money back to the scammers. A seemingly real looking check is supposed to cover the costs, but ends up being a fake. The victim is out hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars.

9.Scams and Rip-Offs} Over-Payment Scams – Over-payment scams typically target small business owners, landlords or individuals with rooms to rent and sellers on classifieds or sites like Craigslist. Typically the scammer pretends to be a customer, possible renter or interested buyer, respectively. The victim receives a check for more than the amount requested. The scammers then ask the victim to deposit the check and wire the extra amount elsewhere, such as to a shipping company. Ultimately though, the check is fake and the victim is really wiring money back to the scammers.

10.Scams and Rip-Offs} Phishing e-mails/H1N1 spam – A perennial problem, phishing e-mails pop up in inboxes and can take various forms such as appearing to be from a business, a government agency or official or even a friend. Whatever the setup, the goal of any phishing e-mail is the same: to trick victims into divulging sensitive financial information or to infect the victim’s computer with viruses and malware. In addition to phishing e-mails, spam e-mail selling wares to prevent the spread of the H1N1 virus were particularly rampant in 2009.
