AmeriPubs Lowdown…
Recently someone asked about a company called AmeriPubs – American Publications. This AmeriPubs.com question was posted in the WorkAtHomeTruth discussion forum.
If you want to skip to the detailed (and somewhat surprising) answer about AmeriPubs you can click here to view the answer to the AmeriPubs.com question.
When I visited the AmeriPubs site the first thing I noticed was a pop-up box that stated:
"This is the official website of American Publications Inc., based in Maryland Heights, Missouri."
Then the pop-up box at AmeriPubs went on to allege there was another company with a similar name based on Connecticut making unrealistic claims and drawing in numerous complaints.
Finally this pop-up box stated: "if you are looking for the "real" American Publications – the one that has been in business since 1992, the one in Missouri, the one that doesn't hide behind a PO Box – then you are in the right place!"
So I thought, "well, that does happen sometimes". A scammer will use another companies name to try to establish credibility. But was that the case here?
The answer to that question is more interesting than I expected.

I just want to say that I've been American Publications since 2001 or 2002, and I've never had a problem with them.I got my checks on time and cashed them without a problem. It's a real company it's not a scam and I'm not just saying this. It's true you work when you want to work. Once you get in you are in forever. Trust me it is real. I like it and I've other people about it. I took a chance with them and got lucky. So _AMERICAN PUBLICATIONS IS NOT A RIP OFF.
