I never thought a site like this existed. After years of searching and thousands lost in various scams. I finally found a job. I just have to find the $25 bux to get started Wink

http://infocom.webs.com
The same person has another site called www.bposervicesonline.com
This site looks more legit than his original site but will expire soon in March.
Here is his contact details:

Yes!

And each scam is REQUIRED to have fakamonials on it!

This looks like a linkspammer site - they are hiring linkspammers.

Hi hawkharoldson,

I edited the title of this topics in the even that a potential victim googles the website. I understand that the title was sarcastic, but as it stood, a quick glance by a victim could possibly lead them to believe that the site has been checked out and and is legit. Smile

I am glad you edited that original post. Being a victim myself to so many scams I wouldn't want to be responsible for someone else getting victimized similar to myself it is an awful feeling. Crying or Very sad

I should of done my research and waited until I got my first paycheck before declaring this a legitimate income opportunity.

This is my favorite part from the rates and services page. Shocked

International customers other than Indians should pay One time, Life time, Non-refundable $25 per single machine work, to be paid only by PAYPAL or ALERTPAY, the secured online payment gateway, of which we are the verified customer.

Yes, that was my initial concern the 25 dollar fee up front. I notice almost all the work at home opportunities it seems require a fee before you can get started. I will try to save up the 25 dollars needed but my concern is what happens if they don't provide any work after they received my money??? Also why can't they just take the $25.00 off my first paycheck??? Confused

Hawkharoldson: I'm not able to tell if you're being sarcastic or not. Do you realize that this site IS a scam?

Not quite a Newb Joined: 30 Jun 2007 Posts: 78

I think we are all becoming cynical including myself about the various work at home opportunities advertised and spam emails we receive. It almost seems like a legit site does not exist. I would hope maybe 1 in a 100 could be legit? 1% or even perhaps as few as 1 in a 1000. Yes, it could be that remote if there is one at all? All I know is that I have not found one yet and I am getting tired of repeatedly getting scammed.

Well when all is said and done it is the same old "money up front" scam. They always try to dress 419 scams in new clothes!

If someone asks you to pay money for a job, it is 100% scam. Period.

"Also why can't they just take the $25.00 off my first paycheck???" - that's because: THERE IS NO PAYCHECK. They're making money off of your $25 and not off the information they're privvy to. If they were truly making the money they're saying they're making, why would they want you to compete against them?

Good work guys! Very Happy

Getting the infocom website shut down. The www.bposervicesonline.com is still up and running though.

Could I ask how you have lost thousands over the years?

Actually, It is very easy to lose over a grand just being involved in one scam alone. The cheque cashing jobs for instance. Most times the fraudulent cheque they send to you to cash is written to be worth well over a thousand dollars. When you cash it and send the scammer usually 90% of the written value you will find in a week or so your bank demanding full value of the bounced cheque plus service charges Crying or Very sad

Hola
In my country it takes around 3 days for a cheque to clear. So the funds aren't available until the cheque has been cleared. The cheque can't be drawn on.

So if I wanted to send the scammer some money it would then have to be my own money. Is that want you are meaning.
