Alert
BBB has been advised by consumers that this business is a work-from-home business advertising online for “employees” who want to work
from the comfort of home. A work-at-home scheme is a get-rich-quick scheme in which a victim
is lured by an offer to be employed in their own home, often doing some simple task in a short
amount of time with a large amount of income that far exceeds the market rate
for the type of work being done by the employee. The true purpose of such an
offer is for the “employer”to extort money from the victim, either by charging a fee to join the scheme, or
requiring the victim to invest in products whose resale value is
misrepresented. Common types of work found in work-at-home schemes include:
Stuffing envelopes
Assembly of items of some type, such as crafts, jewelery or medical equipment. The worker is required to pay up front for materials
and construction kits, and when they attempt to sell the finished products
back to the scheme's organizer, they are told that the products "don't meet our specifications", leaving the worker with assembled products and no buyer.
Data entry Processing medical claims. The worker pays several hundred dollars for medical billing software, but will later discover that most medical clinics
process their own bills, outsource their billing to established firms
rather than individuals, or have stricter requirements than the purchased
software can provide. Forum spamming. usually advertised as some variant of "email processing", the worker is
simply given instructions on spamming online forums, and told they can make money by selling these same instructions online
making phone calls.
BBB advise consumers to educate themselves about a business before sending any monies. Consumers who believe they may have been
lured into a scheme are advised to file a complaint with the BBB at bbb.org/complain. Also see our industry
tips on work-from-home schemes.
