The person telling you that you are a "few fries short of a happy meal" has NOTHING to offer. Why the time and space were wasted to post this idle, USELESS, uneducated comment is unknown to me. I had to respond because someone else visiting the site might be discouraged from sharing and recieving information, out of uncalled for embarrasement. Some might reason that an "Application Fee" is required to weed out those who are not serious. In addition, $25 seems harmless enough. If it were a scam maybe they would be asking for more. There is an old saying "It-takes-money-to-make-money." There are not very many who would be ashamed or feel guilty to invest into potential employment. The economy is bad, and people want jobs. Why single out Latoya as being any different? I wish I had found this report sooner. Latoya, I hope you get my rebuttal. You are NOT crazy or lack intelligence, and no one has the right to make this judgement, based on the information you provided. Applying for this job simply means you seek employment, it is important to you, and you are willing to prove just how serious you are about this endeavor. There are 669 or more other people in your situation at this site, myself included. You can review their experiences by accessing keywords: Home Stuffers, United Homeworkers or category: Home based businesses. Thank you for sharing with us, and contact the Postal Inspectors at www.usps.com and the Federal Trade Comminssion at www.consumer.gov. You might also want to discuss this with your own Post Master. They might have something to offer. Again, I hope you get this rebuttal. There is nothing to be ashamed of when a person is willing to work, and not afraid to try new or unfamiliar options. God bless and hope this helps. :)

Why on earth would you PAY a prospective employer $25 for information about a job? The last time I checked, people took jobs to EARN money, not to PAY money to the employer. If that didn't send up a red flag the moment you heard of the $25 deposit, then I don't know what to tell you sista!
