Good Idea or Not? .... 
Buying a "List" of Companies Hiring Home Workers

Be careful of sending money for any "list" of companies looking for home-based employees or ads requesting money to hire you to complete work. It should not cost money to apply for these "jobs". Here's a warning from a member:

"I don't remember what site on the internet I found this ad at, but I also saw it in my local paper. It really sounded legitimate as they asked for me to send a sample of my printer. The ad said if the sample from your printer was not good enough, you would get your money back within 48 hours. It said that you got paid for all work completed.

When I responded to their ad through the e-mail I told them that if it was just another ad telling me how to get work, do not send the information but if it was legitimate work, then send it. I got the e-mail saying what I said above. Thinking they would not want a sample of my printer if they were not offering legitimate jobs, I sent the $12.95 in.

Well, today I received it. Here's what I got:

A page telling me how to place ads on the internet and what to say in the ad. A sample letter to send out for the response. A disk with 177 ideas, tips and techniques on choosing and creating a profitable home business. I haven't looked at the disk yet, but they did not say they were selling information. It read: 'You must have a quality printer... Applicants are expected to process all orders that customers request.' Sounded like a job to me - I guess I was too gullible. I should have known better as I've been searching for legit jobs for years."
