I intend to stumble it, because people deserve to know about this scam. I looked into this trash myself, after a reader of mine alerted me to the site. initially they tried to "upgrade" my membership to VIP, and attempted to charge $97! The so called "jobsearch software" they use is nothing but an out dated list of work you can find yourself from e-lance and scriptlance. Worthless trash. Thanks for your post Steve.

Another one of those 'scammy' offers being promoted by a lot of the CPA networks.

I figured $2.95 wasn't too much to pay just for the chance to look around the site and check out their resources, at least. However, I very deliberately paid the $2.95 with a card that I knew did not have enough available credit left to absorb a $47 or more monthly charge. So I looked around the site, downloaded what manuals and ebooks and info they had available, and took a look at the job listings. Just the same feeble stuff you'd find on ifreelance or elance or similar site. Alleged "jobs" from shady characters who want 10 500-word SEO-packed articles a month at $2.00 per article. In other words, offensive and insulting junk. They next day, I get messages from the site saying that my membership had been canceled and that they were refunding my $2.95. The message made it sound like I was the one who had canceled, but I most definitely did not. They canceled my membership without my request or permission. Possibly because they found out the card I'd used wouldn't work if they tried posting a big charge to it? It smelled like a scam from the start, and it surely turned out to be one.

We try and stay up to date on which ads can be displayed on our pages, but there are new ones every day and we can quickly fall behind. As for the membership, how long ago did you become a member? I'd still watch your credit card statement religiously. I've read plenty of stories while looking into this one that even after canceling within the 7 days, charges still appeared on the account weeks, or sometimes even months, later. My biggest issue with the site is that they say they will pay you to write articles, which is absolutely bogus. When you lure people in like that and then try and rip them off on top of blatantly lying to them, we have a problem. Thanks Bill.

No problems cancelling the recurrent charge before the 7 day free trial as long as you are willing to call 800 number during office hours (but then if you are working from home, that should not be a problem). Interesting that I had to tell the company which of 3 online offers needed to be cancelled. These on line work companies are nothing but mills. The original ad sounds like one person sharing their success, when it is really a company with multiple venues for taking your money.

Sorry about that. I am a member of Helium though, just started with only 2 entries. I was curious about this one, but won't join them. Thanks again for all you do. I was investigating some other sites, so you saved me a lot of trouble. Thanks I apologize, I was reading over all the new stuff and thought I was on the email page. Sorry about that.

What do I need to do to earn my money, cash their company's money orders. I get 10 percent of all money I process. Does this sound eerily like a money laundering opportunity? Anyway, I just wondered what you thought. Hi Steve,
