profit boost institute work at home by internet deception scam Internet

I received an e-mail allegedly from my son about a work from home on-line product posting opportunity.I opened the link provided to me and read further. The promotion and testimonials appeared to be professional and legitimate.

I was not able to contact my son at the time and for some reason could not access the BBB. to check credability.

I made the decission to go ahead and purchace the offered package for a total of $97.95 and used a credit card to do that. as part of the start-up-package I would receive a personal phone conversation with a professional internet individual. I was given a phone # to contact this individual and I called the given # and was told that someone would return a call to me shortly.

I did receive a return call from a person representing this company that explained that he was the person who conducted a phone interview to determine if I would qualify to continue with my desire to work at home. He asked many questions that I felt had nothing to do with a work at home job such as, what is the limit on my credit card?  what is my wifes full name and employer.  do I have any other credit cards and information and limits on them.

Thats when I became suspicious and got that sick feeling in my stomach. I used bing to search for this company and have learned they are a freud. Hope you can save many others from my mistake.
