In reading Angela's rebuttal, for some reason, I have this strong suspicion that it is a company owner, or management person, rather than an employee. It just sounded too "pat". It SOUNDS like a perfect work at home job, but I really can't shake this feeling that this was a fraudulent rebuttal.

I am an employee of Typeinternational & have worked for them for over 2 years. I have nothing but good things to say about them & their staff. They are very professional & have proven their legitimacy. What they do is contract out to other companies & set up the work that those companies need done as assignments for the members to do. Yes, a lot of the assignments are various advertising campaigns. But, they are very reasonable as far as the number of ads that need to be placed or the amount of work involved to complete an assignment & get paid. Most of the ad-placing assignments pay $15-$30 for placing 100-200 ads. The company also provides a TON of software & downloads to make the work a breeze. They also supply all the advertising info & the places to do the advertising. Somebody who is computer & internet literate can easily complete a regular assignment in 2-3 hours. $30 at 3 hours of work is $10 per hour; not bad considering you're not having to commute to work, pay a babysitter & not be tied down to your work for specific hours of the day. I can easily sit down & complete 2 or 3 assignments in a day. There are also other assignments available besides the advertising. A lot of the time there are newsletter typing, list compiling, and various offline assignments, too. There is even an occasional dictation or other such assignment available. I have been very pleased with my experience with Typeinternational and because of them I have been able to quit my job & am now staying home with my baby; so they have been a god-send for me & my family. They have always paid me exactly what I'm owed & on time. Yes, they do require a membership fee, but because of all the different software & downloads they purchase for their members, as well as the tons of personal support they offer, it's very reasonable; they can't be expected to supply everything for free & stay in business. It seems to me that some people think that if they join a company that requires a membership fee, then they expect just be given money for doing nothing. They don't seem to realize that this is a WORK at home JOB; where you're going to be required to work to earn your paycheck. If you don't want to work to earn your money, then don't join a legitimate company that offers legitimate work & legitimate paychecks to it's members.

All of the above entries in the title are operated by Robert Bell. I haven't used any of these but did look into the Med-Clerion and Clerical Secretary and found nothing with the BBB. However, I did email Mr. Bell and asked if he was affiliated with the BBB and he responded that he is on Ebay. I still couldn't find these companies but if they charge, I won't buy into it. I have been ripped off before by another scam and nothing was done about it by the Texas Attorney General, but a legitimate company won't charge setup fees or training fees because these are tax deductible. I wish these types of people would go to jail and their businesses shut down.
