Perhaps you should call the Manager, Lanis on 072 728 9436, she will definately sort out any misunderstandings.

I paid them in Jan 2010, am still waiting for anything from them. I’ve emailed and phoned, to no avail. STAY AWAY, they are NOT for real.

Hi
“work from home” can mean many things. Even if you have a doggy parlor at home you are working from home. So I guess there is nothing wrong with “work from home” opportunities.

There is a problem however with some Internet based businesses which turns out to be scams. Read http://www.capeargus.co.za/index.php?fArticleId=3823715

Some of the “opportunities” that are mostly labelled as scams are the so called “data entry jobs”. I think the biggest problem government has with these is the fact that people are mislead by the ads. The “data entry” people sell a manual where they teach you to post ads in the job section telling people you need “data entry clerks” which will earn X amount. Once the people apply and pay theur fee they realise that they will not be earning a “salary” but that they will have to resell the same manual and determine their own success.

Hi,
How do we know that “work-from-home” operations are false/scams? I thought a scam refers to a offer which I never delivered on. I am aware that there are scam artists in the industry however- surely this does not refer to all “work-from-home” businesses. In most instances you pay for a manual to start your online typing business. You pay your fee, get the manual and start the business – where is the scam? Please respond…..
