Home Works Connection Home Works Connection sold one thing, but provided nothing of value Internet - MySpace.com internet classified ad work at home Internet

I answered internet classified ad regarding information working from home (see below - exhibit#1). Once I responded, I was emailed back with information that I would be processing applications, etc, (excerpt included below also - exhibit#2). Although it was only $11, it became about principle. I emailed her right away after she sent the bogus information and she only responded that it was done to her, too and there was nothing i could do to recover the money she cheated me out of. I will gladly provide copy of the emails she sent to me saying this.

I do not want her or others to continue to scam people this way. It's unfortunate that she did it KNOWING it was a scam. I've reported her everywhere I know to.

[The Data Entry Specialist and order prosessor position requires that you have a reliable computer with constant internet access and capabilities, and a valid E-mail account, basic internet knowledge, and minimal typing skills. You must also be able to conduct yourself in a professional manner. This includes having excellent grammar and spelling when communicating with clients via E-mail. In addition to the above requirements, you MUST be able to follow instructions closely and completely.

All contact is via E-mail, so you will not be required to call anyone at any time. This allows you to work whichever hours are most convenient for you (days, nights or weekends). You will be processing applications, as well as filling out forms in specific company databases ( this tends to be tedious at times, but good money, so please be sure that you have the patience to do so before proceeding). This is why we expect you to have basic internet knowledge, though the training provided will give you step-by-step instructions on how to perform these tasks properly. There are no down-times with this position, so you will have a constant flow of work to complete. THIS IS NOT A GET RICH QUICK SCHEME, so if that is what you are looking for please do not pursue this opportunity.

You will get paid $ 20.00 for each application completed. The amount of money you make each week is entirely up to you, and how much time and effort you are willing to put forth with this position. The average person makes $200.00-$400.00 each week. When you have been accepted as a Data Entry Specialist you are considered an Independent Contractor. This means that your taxes will not be taken out; therefore, you will not be provided with any tax forms. THIS IS ENTIRELY YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. The training provided will go more in depth about what to do with your taxes.

You will receive your pay through Paypal. When an application is completed, $20.00 will be credited to your Paypal account, which can be withdrawn into your bank account at your leisure.

This is a non-refundable fee, so be sure that you understand what you are doing before sending in your payment for the training materials. This fee will not be waived, and cannot be deducted from your first pay. This is because if you do not process any applications, you will not have a first pay, and we will have already taken the time to set you up and train you.

You will be able to get the training materials, and begin working as soon as payment is received. Most applicants typically complete the training within 24 hours or less. However, you can do this at your own leisure. Keep in mind that the sooner you get through the training materials, the sooner you will start making money. We will be able to be contacted vie E-mail at any time after you have received your training materials to help you, or answer any questions you may have.]
