I told them that I felt the site IveTriedThat.com – which is one of MY favorite work at home sites – would be the best place to help them out on that.

They need YOUR help, too.

OK. So I have a site that warns people about the current rash of rebate processing scams and even tell people HOW to get their money back – get a refund – and where to report the sites to hopefully get these phony rebate processor job sites shut down.

Yet, Norm apparently ignores the extensive information on this site and other sites I link to and sends in this question to which (as I am want to do) I do NOT respond to very kindly…

Q:

visa tells  me you have asked them to charge my account $197.00 and they have put it on "hold" for seven days.  I want this attemptd charge to be cancelled immediately.
Norm

A:

I have NO clue what you're talking about.
I am WARNING people to STAY away from
those types of products at this site.

Put on your glasses and read about it

Is there a special school people go to to become so stupid?

Peace out.

Mr. work@home

"I'm always very helpful, but NOT always very nice"

btw, I don't really say "peace out" in real life, but it was only way I could diminish my rage against the guy's idiocy at the time.

People will consider paying as much as $197.00 for a product that know nothing about before that delivers mountains of "work from home hope" before they will tap into their own brain and use free or reasonably priced resources to achieve their goals of working from home.

The term "telecommuting mania" seems to be a decent term for this phenomenon, since the definition of mania is:"…a severe medical condition characterized by extremely elevated mood, energy, and unusual thought patterns."

Let's take a look at one of the questions that came in recently and see if it qualifies as an example of telecommuting mania.

Q:

Processing from home rebates.Looks good but…………here is the link:

makemyincomeathome.com

A:

OK. Let's see if makemyincomeathome qualifies as telecommuting mania:

The promise: "If You Have 60 Minutes A Day, Here's A Certified, Proven And Guaranteed Way To Make $225 And More Every Day… The Easy Way… From Home!”

OK, we can pretty much stop right there.Apparently the person who asked about this believes he can make $225.00 in 60 minutes processing rebates at home.In facts he believes this about rebate processing jobs despite the fact that companies can easily pay people minimum wage or less than minimum wage (overseas) to do the very same work.

Seems like this definitely qualifies as an "unusual thought pattern" as described in the aforementioned definition of mania.

Hey, and wait a minute….Apparently Angela Penbrook is the #1 work at home consultant in America…but didn't we discover earlier that Angel Stevens from ProcessAtHome was the #1 Work at Home Consultant in America?

Man, is Angel going to be ticked off when she hears Angela's outrageous claims at ProcessAtHome.com!

Seriously though if you have some money to get rid of, I'm sure there's a ton of people who would be happy to take it off your hands.Or you could invest in something that could actually help you find a telecommuting job like InYourPJs or Little White eBook of HomeShoring Jobs…

Naah. You want to make $225.00/hour for doing "simple work at home".

For the rest of use who want to use your brain…
