Typing and mailing from home

morebaby

does anyone know if you can trust these companys who do typing and mailing from home. as i have found a company called http://www.topstarmailshare.co.uk/ and they deliver work to your home then when you have done it you get paid for it. It says that they give you the customers so you dont have to find them yourself. but they want you to send them £30 to become a memeber. i am really intersted in working from home but do not want to send £30 to them if i dont get any work out of it. Is there anyone who does this or knows off a company that is genuine that i could go to. should i trust this company.

Scam.

Any company that asks for cash up front should be avoided IMO

Yes, definitely steer clear.

I have looked and looked but never seen one of these companies that appears genuine. If they're asking for money, it's almost certain that they're just a pyramid scheme, and the "work" will be getting you to convince others to part wth their £30.

In fact, a quick Google led me to this:

Apparently the Advertising Standards Authority has had complaints about them.

Hi. I recently thought this sounded like a good offer. It was with a company called mailingandtyping. So i emailed them a few times asking questions about the work and how much i would get and when it would come. It sounded like a good deal, i thought about it for a week then decided to send the cheque. BIG MISTAKE. I got a tatty membership card from them in the post. When i didnt hear anything for another week i emailed them asking when i would be sent some work and got an automatic reply saying the company had closed down and gone bankrupt. Typical i thought wait till my cheque had cleared then close down. I feel stupid and well and truly got ripped off!!!

Generally, anything like this that pays for "typing and mailing", "stuffing envelopes", etc is a scam. The trick is that you have to find the contacts ro do the mailing to. And you will be mailing them to ask them to send £30 to this company so that they, too, can do "typing and mailing" themselves.

Obviously with a pyramid scheme the whole thing falls down in the end. And so the people at the bottom lose. But I've never even heard of anyone being part-way up the pyramid and making money from it.
