| 440166 | 2006-03-23 19:22:00 | I'd be very suprised if you earn anything at all.......these type of advts abound in newspapers and other similar publications.....however what happens usually is that they want money from you to 'join' and then the way you make money is signing others up....basically similar to a pyramid scheme as far as I understand it.......if it was so easy to make "$500-2000 per month part time at home processing emails" then everyone would do it..... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 440167 | 2006-03-23 21:39:00 | Being unemployed, I did check out one of those ads that was in the local rag (Taranaki Daily Times). The idea is that you ring this number (was 09 suffix, not 0900) which leads you to an answerphone, this answerphone gives you very basic information and asks you to leave your details (address) so they can send you 'more comprehensive' info (all it was was some references from various people who were 'employed' by these people. Within this further information is the price it will cost YOU to receive further information which will tell you what the actual plan is. (At this stage I said stuff it, and didn't bother paying) Quite a sham really. But thats just one ad.. the others may be different (though I doubt it) |

| 440168 | 2006-03-24 01:44:00 | I rang one in Aussie a few years back, It was a "Work from home, using your computer" jobbie, the twerp at the other end refused to identify the "role", instead constantly going back to his pre-written sales pitch about identifing needs and providing solutions. After a few minutes of interupting him I finally managed to get him to state that he was trying to sign up people for selling Herbalife, A company much like amway, Brain dead fanatics hell bent on pushing their freinds and family away with their 99 percent marketing, 1 percent product approach. Not only was it not a job, there sure as hell wasn't any computer work, They only person looking to make anything was the person that placed the add. Anyway, I told him to...uh....cant repeat it here and hung up..... |

| 440169 | 2006-03-24 04:21:00 | Its fairly obvious really. There are millions of ads all over the place saying this sort of thing: Unemployed, crippled, helpless, grandma makes millions WORKING FROM HOME, Using HER PC. |

| 440172 | 2006-03-24 07:49:00 | Well, if you create a successful website (ie. one that generates more than 250,000 uniques each month with a reasonable CPM), you can easily earn a living running it from home, but personally I'd get pretty board after a while. :) | maccrazy (6741) | ||

Anyway, I told him to...uh....cant repeat it here and hung up..... Read this (www.cockeyed.com) a while back. It's a detailed account of one guy exposing exactly what herbalife is. Very interesting read. As one website puts it "Herbalife, a multi-level marketing scheme that makes Amway look legit" |
