Type International Hoax. Claim to be scam-free. Palm Springs California
I signed up with this company, using my mother's name (I had tried working for them before with no results, so did not figure they would let me sign up a second time) at the end of April 2007 as a Research Typist. This position had 6 assignments--finding 50 to 100 people who'd looked for work-at-home jobs, products sold online, free business opportunities, etc. instead of placing ads and waiting for someone to click on them. I paid $32.95 (saved $5 if I signed up before a certain time) for their information--a 12 page list of websites where the information I needed could be found. Some of the passwords they suggested I use to get into some sites were invalid, the files were corrupted, or the password had expired because another website had taken over.
I took them at their word, and finished one assignment--100 online job advertisers (none were alike, like it said must be because they would check them out), and I even wrote down the company's phone number which wasn't even asked for. When finished, I emailed it to them like I was supposed to do and figured I would get my check as promised on or about the first of the month. So far, I have received NOTHING. I called their phone number (the 480-353-7726 I listed as a fax number is really a number out of PHOENIX, AZ.) and could barely hear this lady named Liz, who told me it could take 7-21 days or more for payments to be processed but that to find out I would have to talk to another lady named Sonia. Well, since I mailed in my report, it has now been 27 days, and I know it doesn't take that long to look up websites.
Today, I looked up the address in Palm Springs, Calif. given in another report about them and it said it belonged to a man named Richard Bell. I don't know how he would be connected to them, but the 760-321-8164 phone listing is his, and the US Search had him listed as between 61 and 99 years old. If he is NOT involved with them, I apologize to him with the advice he change his phone number.
I'd either like my credit card to be refunded or at least paid for the work I did.
