A new way to work

I have been getting emails about working from home. The first one didn't say what company it was for but the secnd, third, fourth and fifth do..

I think this is another way to obtain money from people hoping to make money who perhaps cannot afford to pay. Yes I said pay you listen and watch a presentation online and at the end you will pay Tiscali £200 for the privilage of getting customers for tiscali. and earning commision and risidula income if they stay and you get people under you doing the same thing...

A piramid comes to mind here.. The ones at the top get the money the poor guys at the bottom get almost nothing..
Have a look at the emails by reading them here I will n ot be paying Tiscali £200 to advertise them..

Chancers, the lot of them.

Although they may think you're interested if Tiscali logs your addy each time one of us opens that email you received!

Re: A new way to work

I already have visited it and can handle the emails if they keep coming.. Wouldn't recomend joining though at £200 a go.

Re: A new way to work

Looks like this is a very simple version of a very old scam Kitty and the clue is in the request for money up-front.

Key thing is this has absolutely no connection with Tiscali.

They do work through re-sellers as can be seen here:

http://www.tiscali-business.co.uk/te....php?pageid=28

The second semi-scam in all this is the collection of your email address as someone who can be tempted to at least check out such an offer thereby increasing the value of your address to other spammers.
