    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Hi all,

    I was looking at some form of typing-based home working job, just something i could do part-time in the evenings and/or at weekends. The only one worth considering so far that i've seen (although I haven't looked that much) is one called workfromhomevacancies.co.uk . It's something to do with data entry and completing forms online (i think). I've emailed them to enquire about working flexibility, to which they have responded with a suitable answer. I haven't followed it up as yet, but they seem 'relatively' trustworthy. Only bit i'm sceptical with is the fact that there is a £20 non-refundable fee for the training. According to their website you get paid per email into your paypal or other secure online account.

    I'd like to know whether anyone has ever come across these people good or bad.

    Cheers,
    JR

    p.s. Apologies if this seems like its me butting in on this thread, just thought i'd kill 2 birds with one stone by asking my home-working question whilst also possibly making others aware if it turns out to be a viable, or dodgy setup.
