Being careful
October 29th, 2008 at 2:28 pm (Uncategorized)
I have been looking for a job for months, and I thought I finally found one until I talked to both the BBB and FTC. I decided to call them because the job I found wanted me to take money from their clients and pay their partners, this concerned me becuase I was unable to find any information on anyone.
When I did search for who owns this email I found no information. Hmm a little odd, I noticed it was to 5 different countries and that some of my question where not being answered. When I asked for an address and telephone number so I could check them out with the BBB, I was sent a email with a website. Well I got what appeared to be an address, but no telephone number and any more information I wanted I’d have to pay for it. Okay I didn’t call the FTC to report anything but to find out if any reports had been filed.
While talking to both companies they both said it a scam, but nothing been reported yet. I also found out from the BBB that for the most it’s illigal to send money to other foreign countries. I asked a few question and got more information. They told me not to take the job because probably what would happen is that I would cash the first check for a large amount of money and then be stuck footing the bill. Considering I haven’t gotten some of my question answered, I figuring there right because I would have information that I have asked for. I am starting to feel like I might never find a legitament job. I know Primerica has contacted me and wants me talents but I am wondering if I am even talented enough of a sales person to be able to educate and then sale their product to a customer. I haven’t never done well in selling things even if it something which sales itself. So I guess I wil have to figure out what to do now, because I can’t be unemployeed. I know I can call all of my temp companies. I am just looking for a part time job, which is flexible enough to not force me to work Friday night and Saturdays, but hey I will gladly work on Sunday.
When looking to start work with any work at home i suggest checking them out first with the BBB and FTC, because it keeps the consumer safe and well we need to be safe now days. I am glad I learned something form school.
