-=angel=- Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hi, I came over this website which says Work At Home by being a Typist which you can do whereever you are. Can anybody tell me how true is this, if this is legit and do you really need to pay for what they call peripherals? I don't mind paying if this is legit, as long as I will get more at the end. Please Help! Thanks in advance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 It is one of the oldest scams around - long before the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Any time you have to pay money to make (money later) you can assume it is a scam. If someone needs your service you do not have to pay them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indo-Siam Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I would assume that when you send them money, you get an e-mail "deliverable" that looks something like this: Dear (Sucker) - Thank you for purchasing our "make money at home by typing" program. Here is how our program works: You sit at home on your on-line computer, and you type up your own on-line ads offering "make money at home by typing" programs. Simply copy our ads - but inserting your contact information, in place of ours. You then post these ads on "sucker boards" around the WWW. When "suckers" reply, you simply take their money, and then send them this same e-mail message. Good luck! And ...... thanks, Sucker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~G~ Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Typical pyramid scheme. Pay for peripherals? For a typing job? What's wrong with MS Word and Outlook Express? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indo-Siam may have put it a bit bluntly but I'm sure it was meant to be constructive in a 'humerous' way. You were clever enough to ask before going for it. So, in an effort to keep this thread clean and put your mind to rest, you ain't a sucker! Don't let it get to you, okay? Sincerely Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxm88 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 i see , are there any legit ones? Yes, but it's mostly transcripting medical reports for the few aging doctors who never learned to type. For this you also need detailed knowledge of medical terminology, so you can get the words correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capco1 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Actually my younger sister inquired about a typing from home outfit here in the States and after doing a lot of research she actually found the company to be legit and people were doing this as a side income. The company hired typists to work within the insurance claims department, they would send her an audio tape of various telephone converstaions with claim clients and they want you to type them into a legal format of some kind. Catch was that you had better be a VERY good and I mean VERY good typist in order to make any money, they also required you to purchase a foot pedal for the sum of $250.00 I guess this item allows you to stop and start the audio tape when needed. She tried it and found that she was not as fast a typer as she thought! ....lol took her 8 hours to type one report and she made $12.00! P.S. .....FOR SALE....one gently used foot pedal......$50.00 or best offer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps skirting the laws enough not to be legal fraud but still a "buy this first" and don't complain later because you can not make any money (as is the case for all) as you are just not good enough and it is all your fault. A scam, is a scam, is a scam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
