Knew it immediately was a scam just by the layout and structure of the website. How?

1-At the very top, for all to see: THIS SITE IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY NEWSPAPER-ADVERTORIAL.
A) Author is LINDA JACKSON, CONSUMER TREND INVESTIGATOR.
a) Did search for Linda Jackson, CBS, title, etc; nothing.
B) Date and time is August 2, 2010 and time is 11:50 PM. As I am writing this it is August 2, 2010 and the time I started this process was around 7pm (west coast which means the site had to be created east coast). WAS THIS SITE CREATED WITHIN THE LAST FEW MINUTES? I RELOAD THE PAGE: BINGO, IT CHANGED,THE TIME LISTED IS NOW 12:37AM. BUT WAIT, THE HOME EMPLOYMENT AGENCY LINK IS GONE AND REPLACED WITH INTERNET CAREER FINDER ( the site does not load). AND IF I RELOAD THE PAGE AND STARE AT WHERE IT SAYS “CARRIE FROM PHOENIX ARIZONA” IT FLASHES DIFFERENT CITIES AND STATES THEN CHANGES TO MY CITY AND STATE. ALSO, THEY ADDED ARIZONA TO THE TITLE OF THE REPORT. They want me to think Carrie lives and works in my state, wow.
2-Notice that this site has NO ADVERTISING. Virtually all websites make huge profits by allowing advertiser on their site. So, this site must BE an advertisement.
3-NON OF THE NEWPAPER LINKS (HEALTH,JOBS,WORLD, ETC) AT THE TOP WORK, THEY ARE ALL FAKE. Original link above told me I could make up to $87.00 an hour yet this website tells me I can make up to $75.00.
4-There is a YouTube video link. Press play and a woman named Patricia Feeney of Chicago Illinois tells her story. But Carries testimonial is right under the player, it took me a few minutes to realize that the video was not about Carrie.
A) I Performed a you tube search for the imbedded video and found the Patricia Feeney’s interview However, the YouTube video contains much more information and talks about a different company name and what exactly Patricia does to earn her money, it’s very explanatory. The imbedded video has been severely edited. See video and then watch the imbedded clip again.

5-Reading further you will find out that Carrie only had to pay $50.00 to “sign up” and then she started making $6,000.00 a month. But actually Carrie states she makes ‘$6000 to $8000 per month. But this is contrary to the headline of $6595.. You will see some testimonials, all positive, on the left hand side, all posted within minutes of each other and the ominous SORRY, THE COMMENT SECTION IS CLOSED AT THIS TIME. The site is an “advertisement” for another website and links to Home Employment Agency can be found throughout the “article”. Later on in my research we will finally be directed to homeemploymentagency.net
6-So did I have to read all of this? Did I have to do all of this? Should I click on Home Employment Agency? NO, NO, NO. This article is a lesson to all of you who fall for this stuff. All you had to do with this site is read the disclaimer:
It is important to note that this site and the comments/answers depicted above is to be used as an illustrative example of what some individuals have achieved with this/these products. This website, and any page on the website, is based loosely off a true story, but has been modified in multiple ways including, but not limited to: the story, the photos, and the comments. Thus, this page, and any page on this website, are not to be taken literally or as a non-fiction story. This page, and the results mentioned on this page, although achievable for some, are not to be construed as the results that you may achieve on the same routine. I UNDERSTAND THIS WEBSITE IS ONLY ILLUSTRATIVE OF WHAT MIGHT BE ACHIEVABLE FROM USING THIS/THESE PRODUCTS, AND THAT THE STORY/COMMENTS DEPICTED ABOVE IS NOT TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY. This page receives compensation for clicks on or purchase of products featured on this site.
THE TWO WORDS THAT SHOULD HAVE MADE YOU FORGET THE WHOLE THING AND START LOOKING AT PORN: ILLUSTRATIVE AND DEPICT, FIGURE IT OUT.
The disclaimer also states “To make this easier for you, we have included links to the billing terms for each of the products below”. No links exists.
It’s that easy folks. We are not going to take issue with other sites that do not post disclaimers, this one does. They posted a disclaimer. If you chose not to read it then you surf the internet blindly. Also, you can’t buy anything off this site. I almost consider the disclaimer a favor since nothing can be purchased here.
Let’s move on.
I click on one of the Home Employment Agency links
http://www.homeemploymentagency.net/index/
A) I can’t recreate this next step because of the cookie. When I first loaded this page I was instructed to enter personal information that would be used to tell me if there were employers hiring in my area. I must have waited to long because the “Congratulations” screen populated automatically telling me there were employers.
a) Notice the date? WOW, this page was created August 3, 2010. My time is now 11:50 pm on August 2, 2010.
B) Wow, a lot of reading, all vulgar persuasion. This site asks you to pay for a program that teaches you to become an EBAY LISTING AGENT. This job offer, which you have to pay for, has nothing to do with the work explained in the Patricia Feeney YouTube video. It’s 100% different, there is no comparison.
C) This site has two purposes: to sell you something and to tell you you will “hate yourself” if you do not purchase this product/program. There are programs within programs, some are one time payments others are monthly charges. Disturbingly, the site also mentions “accreditation”. The definition of accreditation is: to certify a school, college, or the like as meeting all formal official requirements of academic excellence, curriculum, facilities, etc. But EBay has no requirement or affiliation with the company therefore they don’t require any sort of accreditation. A company can NOT accredit itself, so who are you being accredited for? Remember, EBay does NOT REQUIRE OR RECOGNIZE CERTIFICATION.

D) The site tells you in the beginning you will be paid in “as little as seven days” yet further down you are told you will be paid “usually within 24 hours”. ALL PROJECTED EARNINGS ARE BASED ON $5.00 PER LISTING BUT $5.00 IS ONLY THE MOST YOU CAN MAKE, THE RANGE IS $0.01 TO $5.00, and THAT’S A HUGE MARGIN. REPEAT, YOU CAN MAKE “AS MUCH AS” OR “UP TO” $5.00 PER LISTING.
E) Elizabeth Jackson is not real. Yep, this whole website which repeats over and over that Elizabeth Jackson is doing you huge favors and really has you in your best interest, is fake. Disclaimer: “For purposes of privacy, the creator of Home Employment Agency is using the name “Elizabeth Jackson”. That name sounds familiar. Yes, she was the author of the Channel 8 article with the date and time that updated every time the page was reloaded. I went to go check it out and Elizabeth Jackson, (formerly Jennifer Johnson) her title and the date and time have been removed, this happened within the last hour.

F) Finally, when I tried to close the site a STOP!!!!! Window popped up and informed me the jobs were almost gone and that only 2 jobs remained. I am reminded of Elizabeth Jackson’s personal guarantee: “you make money or you don’t pay” with 60 day double satisfaction guarantee. I can choose “cancel” or “O.K.”. Select “cancel” and stay on the sales page. There is only one way off the sales page and that is to click apply at the end, trying to close out of the page takes you back to the STOP!!!! window. Selecting “O.K.” takes you directly to the application page. You can’t leave by closing out the program by trying to close out of the application page, your are directed back to the STOP!!!!! Window. I don’t know the internet term for this but I hate it. This happens about ten times and then I am finally off the site. The application asked for more information than I would have imagined, almost like a full application. But the crazy thing was the last question, to be answered in the form of an essay: “What are you going to do with all the money you make”?

So what are my conclusions? Most of you don’t read disclaimers. The disclaimer for this last site is almost identical to the first. And those of you who signed up for this product/program must have simply thought “I am one of the few”. Yep, by deciding that you are “one of the few” simply means that you were willing to gamble on the product. And for that you should accept full responsibility. You rolled the dice, deal with the numbers. You have a better chance at creating your own scam, just be very thorough and honest in your disclaimer to cover your ass, no one will read it anyway.

By the way, the very first thing you should have done was simply ask EBay this question; ‘Do I need a certificate or accreditation to become an Auction Listing Agent”? The answer is NO.

This whole report took me 9 hours. During this time, information on the websites have been removed, revised and rewritten but the disclaimers are still the same.

Okay everyone I have gone ahead and started filing process for a class action lawsuit against Jennifer Jones.
Please join me in uniting and following through.
If you had enough time to check out her website and pay the money then you surely have enough time to file a complaint against this business.
Really it’s not about the money it’s more so about the principle.

Here is the link to where you can find the complaint.

Look under my name Alejandro or Jennifer Jones and lets get the ball rolling

And remember “Strength in numbers”!

Have a wonderful day

Also once again it was one of those sales letters that goes on forever. That is always the first tipoff (I know there may be a handful of legit ones).

I noted when I read “her” ad that they would “train you” how to find the best opportunities after giving the impression they were giving you the opportunities with these companies…that is another tip off.

Then in the disclaimer it says Elizabeth Jackson is a fictitious name when one of the pitches was “America’s top Work at Home Consultant”…another tipoff
