Mailing or typing

Options
Hi guys,

Found this website in the back of the News of The World. Same old story, looks legit until they ask for a £30 start up fee. What do you think??? :confused:

    Just to add to this, after some digging around, mainly on here, this company i came across called 'mailing or typing' is the same company that was discussed on here last year but was then called 'top star mail share.'

    The crook went bankrupt and was discharged in Feb this year, thats why its now called 'mailing or typing' i bet. He is using exactley the same address and telephone number. They shouldnt be allowed to get away with it, especially the way things are at the moment, people (including me!!) will do anything for a bit of extra cash. I even emailed them when i first came across their ad in the paper and they promised me it wasnt a scam.

    Hi there guys,
    I have just come across your thread which was posted back in April.

    I have just come across the site 'Mailing & Typing'. Yes it looks and sounds legit but have followed your advice and are going to stay well clear.

    Has anyone managed to find a legit company and currently working from home as a typist/mailing clerk??

    Thanks very much guys.
