DataEntryDesk question answered

I just finished answering a question about a site called DataEntryDesk in the WorkAtHomeTruth forum.

I’m always surprised to get nearly the same question so often and pretty much give the same or similar answer almost every time. It’s almost as if people think that just by having an internet connection the laws of the real world change.

They don’t. You still have to work, you still have to take risks, you still have to cut your losses, learn from them, and roll out and leverage your successes.

There certainly are opportunities online that don’t exist offline, but not basic foundational ones.

Deceptive Door-to-Door magazine Sales Crews

The Better Business Bureau has issued the following warning (see end for link to full warning):

“In the last 12 months alone, BBB has received 1,100 complaints from consumers in 46 states and the District of Columbia against more than 50 companies that are selling magazines door-to-door.”

Important from the BBB:

““Experience tells us that customers aren’t the only victims of this scam; the young salespeople are also potentially being taken advantage of by their employers and forced to work long hours, endure substandard living conditions and have their wages withheld from them.”

The pitch:

“The representative might explain they are working to help get their lives back on track, raising money on behalf of a charity or for a school trip or even selling subscriptions to support troops in Iraq.”

The complaints:

“Most complaints against such companies allege that sales reps took their check and the magazines never arrived, however, some complainants also allege being subjected to high-pressure and misleading sales tactics.”

The companies:

  • Trinity Public Relations in N.C. and Seedtime Publications in S.C. – BBB has received 286 complaints
  • Michigan City, IN-based Prestige Sales – BBB has received 33 complaints
  • Chesapeake, VA-based Omni Horizons Inc - BBB has received 122 complaints
  • Memphis-based True Visions Inc. – BBB has received 82 complaints
  • Memphis-based Greater Image, Inc. – BBB has received 17 complaints
  • Seattle-based Fresh Start Opportunities – BBB has received 66 complaints
