Maybe you listen to talk radio and maybe you've come across these ads about "Income from Home". I heard them on the coast to coast radio show with George Noury, but you can also hear then on the Hannity show, and many others.
I decided to take a peek at their website. I was pretty sure it was a scam but so many of these hosts seem to recommend it. I wondered "would they sell their integrity for a scam?"
Well I accessed the webpage, the page you start out with has no information about what you would be doing to be making money at home from your computer. To gain further access, you have to give up your info: name , address, email , phone number. Well I filled those fields out, just not with the correct info.
Now I get directed to a page where I can buy the kit for $39.95 that I can use to make money at home. Still nothing about what I would be doing . I come to the conclusion that any "job" that requires you to pay the company money to work for them is not a job at all.
As I start moving the cursor to the top left of the screen to close the window. A screen chat is initiated and I start getting more incentives to buy this kit. The comments I received were probably robot generated but they were supposedly coming from "Jen".
Well, I was amazed that the website could tell that I was going to close the page but not totally so as I heard that some websites do have the ability to know where your cursor is hovering.
Anyway, I clicked the page closed and then went to google and typed in "Income at Home, Scam?"
So that brought up a multitude of pages and based on the few I read, "Income at Home" supposedly is Herbalife (want to lose weight in 30 days? ask me how-or something like that). You would basically be becoming a herbalife distributor if you joined up with this operation.
I also read that if I had given my correct phone number, that I would be receiving phone calls from a distributor who would push to make me part of his downline.
I also read the privacy policy and it states amongst other goodies, that they have the right to sell whatever info I give them. So even if I didn't join, if I had given the right info, they would have made money on that . So maybe even that money from selling your info is enough money for them to keep running these ads on radio to entice more people into their website.
Anyway, technically not a scam, but definitely not my cup of tea.
By the way, I wasn't looking for side income, i was just curious, after hearing the ad once again on the radio. So I took a look.
