Need to know if this e-mail for home business is legit!!

Today i found this advert saying "300-500 a week for home business". Naturally i was intrigued by this as i am a 17 year old looking for a bit of cash to spend so i sent an e-mail off to ask for more info. Now i realise a lot of these home businesses are risky etc but i just wanted to know if this e-mail had any sort of creditability and whether i could take it further:

Any help would be fantastic people :o BTW- I am not trying to advertise this but i just want to see whether this is something that can be taken seriously!

This Self Employed Data Entry/Online Information Products Processor opportunity requires that you have a reliable computer with Internet access and capabilities, a valid E-mail account, basic Internet knowledge, and basic typing skills.
You must also be able to conduct yourself in a professional manner. This includes having excellent grammar and spelling when communicating with clients via E-mail.

In addition to the above requirements, you MUST be able to follow instructions closely and completely!


You will do all contact via E-mail, so you will not be required to call anyone at anytime. This allows you to work whichever hours are most convenient for you (days, night, or weekends).

You will be processing applications/orders, as well as placing ads by filling out forms in specific company databases (this tends to be tedious at times, so please be sure that you have the patience to do so before proceeding). This is why you will need to have basic Internet knowledge, though the training provided will give you step-by-step instructions on how to perform these tasks properly. There are no "down-times" with this position, so you will have a constant flow of work to complete.


THIS IS NOT A GET RICH QUICK SCHEME, so if that is what you are looking for please do not pursue this opportunity.

There is work involved. You will be processing applications and orders from people responding to ads, placed by you, for a home based online information products business. This will be explained to you in the training materials. As with any business opportunity you must be willing to work hard and try to respond to the orders in a timely manner.


You will be earning £20 - £25 (depending on what you charge) for each application/order you process.


For example; if you process 30 applications/orders in a week you will make £600 - £750 weekly.

The amount of money that you earn is entirely up to you, it depends on the amount of time and effort you choose to put in. Also to process just one order usually takes about 15-20 minutes. The average part-time person makes £150 - £250 per week.

This work from home opportunity is legitimate, has excellent products and is very lucrative.

When you begin your new home based business as a Data Entry/Online Information Products Processor, you are considered a Self-employed Independent Home Based Business Owner. This means that as with any self employed position your taxes etc will be your responsibility.

The training provided will go a little more in depth about what to do with your taxes. You will receive your pay through a secure online payment processor of your choice that deals with worldwide transactions. When an application is completed, £20 - £25 will be credited to your Payment account, which can then be withdrawn into a bank account at your leisure.

You will have access to over 100 products valued at over £450 for your own or business use. The 100+ information products come with resell rights and most have their own order pulling websites that you can set up and advertise to increase your income, you can sell this as a complete package or choose to sell the products separately.

There is a one-time non-refundable fee of £25.00 for the training materials and information products package. This also includes all processing fees and training costs.


We offer professional on-line support for as long as you may need us. This is a one-time fee, and there will be no other charges to you. However, the fee must be received before we can send you the "Training Material".

We must accept this fee to cover training costs, products, processing fees etc as well as to ensure that only serious applicants apply. This is a non-refundable fee, as this entire package is delivered via the internet and once you have received it, it is impossible to ensure its return. All will be explained in the training materials. This fee will not be waived for anyone, and cannot be sent from your first earnings.


Once your payment is received, we will e-mail you your training and Bonus materials. You will need a word processing program in order to download the bonus materials successfully (MS Word, Works, Notepad, etc.) Once you have completed your Training you will be able to START working from home TODAY.

Most people typically complete the training within 24 hours or less. However, you can do this at your leisure. Keep in mind that the sooner you go through the training materials, the sooner you will START earning money with your new online business.

I will be able to be contacted via E-mail at anytime after you have received your training materials to help you, or answer any questions you may have.

If you are serious about this opportunity, meet all the requirements, and are responsible enough to work from home, then please contact me now via the E-mail link below putting “Payment Details” as the subject, and I will inform you of the cost of the training package.

I hope that I hear from you again so I can get you STARTED right away in your own online information products processing business!

    It's a pyramid scheme. You start off by sending them money, and in return you have the right to recruit people like yourself, and charge them a fee. The essential piece of equipment you need is not a computer but a barge-pole.

    Tell you what if you do make that amount of money let us know I am sure we would all love to make that money legitimately

    I very much doubt it is legit and more a scam, never give any money to anyone for work
