is this a con..

[Baileysmummy]

Ive just recived this letter..
not in full details cos its deadf long but it basically says along the lines of.. we are looking for homeowners for mailing /typing work.. if you can do 500 mailings we will pay you at the rate of £1.10 per envolope, to be completed in 5 days..

i mean i could do that.. instant money, but at the bottom its states they want £30 upfront!

is it a con.. what should i do!

if its not then i could be rich

sounds like a con hun, is there not a website or phone number you can check

Most of them that want money upfront are a con I think.

Nobodys saying you couldnt earn the money if you did enough work but chances are you'll pay your £30 fee and then never get enough work to be paid.

Not entirely certain but working from home ideas seem too good to be true

I always say- if it sounds too good to be true it prob is. I'd steer well clear if I was you

Its a con, no genuine homeworking company asks for money up front.

This is what it says!

Top star mailshare is the largest homeworking firm and has been in business for 17 years.. in order to earn yourself money, we will supply and deliver leaflets, envelopes, stamps, stationary and anything else that is needed, free of charge to you. These materials are worth around £800 and you will not be asked to pay for them, we will only supply these materials to registered members. In order to become a member, we ask for a small lifetime fee of £30 which is refunded to you along with your first payment once completed work!

no phone numbers or email, just a normal adresse

sounds like a con. Why give them money so they can give it you back?

 

[Baileysmummy]

Ive just rung them after getting number through 118

its defo a con, it was a guy in his own house, saying it all depends on the response they get from ppl to weather you get the work or not, so i said it could be anything from 1 week to 1 yr and he said yes..

Oh my god they must be raking it in from ppl who think its a good idea and dont check it out first

Thanks girls you've just saved me £30
