My friend works at home as a translator for a tv company. She translates speech (Latvian, English or Spanish) into Russian subtitles. On a typical day she logs onto tv company's FTP server, downloads the video material, then writes subtitles on a special software and sends the subtitles back to the tv company. It pays quite well.
The site does not give details as to what exactly you will be doing. No description of duties, qualifications needed, details about their company - just lots of "success stories" that make it sound too good to be true, and a form asking to sign up and send money. I wonder how big their pyramid is at this point? The title for this page "OBS" seems ironically appropriate.
Obvious Bull Shit. Certainly seems like a pyramid scheme. Any reasonable job offer has listed qualifications needed and also doesn't ask for money.
Many people have "work from home jobs". That is where the trend is leading. I don't know about those jobs in the OP, but if it seems way too good to be true, it probably is.
Yup! Even though they deny it (don't scammers ALWAYS deny it?) Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! , all they want is to get your $49.90. And since they actually do send you something they can't be charged for ripping you off. Another dead giveaway is the fact that it's "not valid in the state of Wyoming" - meaning it's ILLEGAL there.

Meh, US states' laws sometimes are funky. I wanted to order a bottle of good wine for a friend in MD, but their laws prohibit it.
That's a different matter. In this case, it just means that Wyoming has tougher regulations on deceptive advertising. As time goes by, you'll probably find other states adopting Wyoming's model. That's the natural progresson for state laws in this country - one will go first and act as a test case. If it holds up, others will follow suit.
I knew someone who did quite well with a online data entry job that paid by the entry, which he did in his free time at his office job, so he was getting paid well for both. I've tried to find one myself, but my searches haven't found anything legit in the past so I gave up.
Yes, those kinds of online jobs do exist but they are very, very rare! And they usually go to someone who knows someone - and are NOT advertised to the general public. Any type of "job" you see advertised on the Internet or on TV is almost always guaranteed to be a scam. I fell asleep on the couch the other night and woke up to an informercial. They were talking about setting you up with multiple websites (at a price, of course) so that you could sell something (their products, I think - I wasn't paying it much attention) and make thousands of dollars every week. All I could do was shake my head - not because I was trying to wake up but at how stupid the whole thing was. Legitimate job offers ALWAYS come with job descriptions and a list of qualifications. If you had real positions to fill would you go about it like the scammers do? Think about that for just a few minutes...
Heh, those late night ads kind of make me want to bash my head against the wall. :wallbang: They should be illegal, if not for being dishonest, than for being annoying.
The American President works from home, and it seems to pay quite well. One need not be very bright, either.
