Working from Home Internet Based

Happy Easter everybody :j

I was just reading about a company who let you work from home and just wondered if anybody has heard or tried this company before.

http://www.work-web.org/workonlinev1/

Of course they want payment up front of £29.95 (minimum) to get started.
I'm always wary of people wanting money upfront for working.
Is this another con??

    savemoney is right, it's a scam.

    If you scroll down the page a little you come to an example of the type of forms you will be filling in to earn your money. It's a form for an online advert, and all you will be is placing adverts to get £29.95 in exchange for telling them how to make money.

    When they pay the money you will tell them to do just what you are doing, place the same adverts as you and tell them the same thing.

    You shouldnt have to pay to work.

    There are plenty of ways to earn money from home.... I have found some very interesting ways looking though these forums and threads!!!

    Avon/ Kleeneze/ mystery shopping/ surveys etc

    Well I'm glad I didn't join them. I wanted something to do from home without knocking on doors like Avon/Kleeneze etc.
    But didn't want to do many surveys to be honest as it takes ages getting a decent amount of money together.
    Thanks for all your replies
