This is the place to submit your questions as the forum is officially on hold for now.

I'm in the process of getting a F.A.Q. section installed at WorkAtHomeTruth which will also allow you to submit your questions.

I've decided to do this in place of the forum for now as it seemed like the forum was mostly being used for that purpose and I'm MUCH more likely to answer on the blog than in the forum.

You can post your questions here for now until I get the F.A.Q. section set up.

Thanks.

Hi Paul,
I'm going to repost my question here (with all th scams out there I REALLY need some guidance).

I'm not based in the US and I want to know what are the top 3 that you can recommend (programs, etc) that will give me the fastest ROI, will not cost more than $10 (or the minimum amount needed to earn online).

Looking for those that will give me residual income and can be done with working only 2-4hrs/day. Need your help ASAP, please.

Thanks, Paul for the eye opener. Never thought of it that way. Got two questions:

1. Do you know if freeandpowerful.com is Legit ?
2. Are your Top Ten Home Businesses updated and / or have teachings still relevant and can be applied today?

Looking forward to your prompt reply.

Is this website not a scam itself? What are you doing besides debunking fraudulent websites and substituting your own? You get rewarded with HARD WORK, EXEPTIONAL TALENT, OR INCREDIBLE LUCK! That's it!! With all your recommendations, I have yet to see the brutal honest truth–these, and any type of get-cash-quick scheme have an impossibly low success rate. All of your systems fall under this category.

Hi,

Is there a review available for PPC Classroom (2 or 3). Would very much like one as I was comparing GoogleCash, Wealthy Affiliate which you had reviewed already.

My name is Rusty Newcomer.I am trying to contact anyone w/Work at home truth.I have recently purchased an "online service".Unfortunately it was before I found your site.However they have contacted me personally by phone claimimg I have been choosen as a testimonial candidate.At first I was excited because they claim they are going to "hold my hand" for a one year period to guide me through so they can make money marketing "my story".The big red flag to me, was when this guy said they needed money for the tools of theirs I would be using(claims tools are worth $3k& I would need to invest $1k).I really want to believe that's the whole truth,but after learning of OPM(other peoples $), I can't help but wonder if my $1k is their OPM.With no explaination of what exactly I would be selling or marketing(this guys job was to find out If I was a good candidate for them,and make sure I could go into debt for them)I was told to contact them if I could get the money together.As real of a "deal" as this sounds, I can't help but think that's a lot of money for me to get scammed for right now.Any input on the "call back for testimonial"? Even if it's not all they say it is, if it would get my foot in the door,I would consider learning from them,but that much debt to start?Thanx for your time & trouble,I would very much appreciate hearing what you think.

I just wanted to alert you to a new scam. I'm a writer/editor and answered an ad on Craigslist. The poster (Mohd Ibrahim) said he had a draft of his book that he'd just translated into English, but he didn't know the language well. He said he needed someone to proofread and edit the entire book (something connected with Unicef) into proper English, etc. The pay was $1,000 for the entire job, and Mohd wanted my assurance that the finished work would be perfect. After we ironed out the details and made an agreement to work together, he said his "financier" would be sending my payment, while Mohd would send me the manuscript. A couple of weeks passed and I didn't receive anything. When I emailed him, he apologized and said both items would arrive asap.

About a week later, I received a check from a corporation – no letter, etc., just the check in an envelope that had a return address of one state, but a postmark of another. The check was made out to me, but for the amount of nearly $4,000! I emailed Mohd and said there'd been a mistake.

THAT's when the real scam began. Mohd said that the additional money was for his "publisher" and that I needed to deposit the check, then send the difference on to his publisher – who just happened to be in Malaysia, and of course, he wanted me to send it via Western Union.

I replied that I wasn't about to take the tax hit such an action would cause me, and he needed to talk to his "financier" about getting a check cut for me for the proper amount. Alarmed, he offered to pay me the tax difference. I told him we wouldn't know the amount until we filed our taxes.

Meanwhile, he'd started calling me, but I don't answer my phone if the Caller ID reads "private." Mohd sent me two more emails, begging me to "help him out" and “do this special favor” for him, so he wouldn't make his financier angry. I replied that, since his financier only wanted to write one check, he should ask him to make the check out to Mohd; then HE could deposit it in HIS bank account, and send me the proper amount.

He sent me one more email, begging me to help him with this situation. I told him NO, I was shredding the check, and it was up to him to get the money sent to the appropriate parties.

Since all my brain warning bells were going off, I took a good look at the check, and it just seemed somehow “wrong” to me. I couldn’t zero in on what exactly was wrong with it, so I decided to do some digging. Online, I searched for the corporation name, found the phone number, and called them. I told the accountant the entire story, and she was horrified.
I told them what was going on, and asked if they’d ever heard of Mohd. They said no; when I told them I was holding one of their company checks for nearly $4,000, the company accountant came unglued! She said that any amount over $500 required two signatures; there was only one on my check, and it looked like a stamp. Well, it turns out that it WAS their routing and account numbers on the check, but it showed their old address.

She contacted their bank, then called me for a 3-way conference call. I explained everything again to the bank representative, and agreed to send both the check and the envelope to them the next day.

The accountant called me later and thanked me again for notifying them about the phony check. She’s worried, of course, because someone overseas has the company’s account information. They’ll probably have to change their account now, to be safe. Unfortunately, none of these actions will prevent Mohd and his cronies from perpetrating this fraud again somewhere else.

This is the first time I’ve encountered such a scam while working from home. I hope by reporting the details, you’ll be able to warn your readers.

The crook’s name is: Mohd Ibrahim; watch out for him.
