The fake news site Weekly-Consumer-Newsletter makes two bold and conflicting statements. First Weekly-Consumer-Newsletter claims:
“Home Job Placement is one of the most successful online job placement firms. They have helped over 16,493 people find legitimate work at home jobs.”
Then later Weekly-Consumer-Newsletter goes on to say:
“If there are any jobs available in your area, get certified as an Auction Listing Specialist (it’s super quick & easy); this qualifies you for instant placement in an actual paying position as well as gives you full access to all the training tools and resources you need.”
Sorry – that simply isn’t how being an Auction Listing Specialist works. First of all it’s NOT a job even though both HomeJobPlacement.org and Weekly-Consumer-Newsletter seem to want you to believe it is.
I’ve told people recently, even with all of the free tips on this site and the very few legitimate home jobs databases like HomeJobStop.com finding a work at home job or freelance position is quite difficult during this economic downturn. Not impossible, but difficult.
And what of the story about “Sally Vickers” in which Weekly-Consumer-Newsletter.com reports her as saying, “In a recent interview, she stated, “I make $75 an hour just by posting listings for Fortune 500 companies on eBay. Right now, I’m earning around $6500 a month.”?
If you scroll to the VERY bottom of Weekly-Consumer-Newsletter.com you will see the following disclosure:
“THE STORY DEPICTED ON THIS SITE AND THE PERSON DEPICTED IN THE STORY ARE NOT REAL. RATHER, THIS STORY IS BASED ON THE RESULTS THAT SOME PEOPLE WHO HAVE USED THESE PRODUCTS HAVE ACHIEVED. THE RESULTS PORTRAYED IN THE STORY AND IN THE COMMENTS ARE ILLUSTRATIVE, AND MAY NOT BE THE RESULTS THAT YOU ACHIEVE WITH THESE PRODUCTS. THIS PAGE RECEIVES COMPENSATION FOR CLICKS ON OR PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS FEATURED ON THIS SITE.”
And above that you will find the following information:
“CUSTOMER COST: The actual customer cost to purchase the offer being promoted herein by Consumer Weekly Newsletter is $197. Please refer to the applicable Terms & Conditions for the offer.”
That’s EIGHT TIMES the cost of a legitimate home jobs database like HomeJobStop where you might at least have SOME chance of finding a real work at home position or freelance job.

I am questioning how much it costs me weekly or monthly, after the initial
$198.00 that it costs me. And I am more than happy to give this a try. Why van’t you take that money from my earnings until it is paid? I can’t afford $200.00 out of pocket until tax time comes and then it sounds like it will be too late. I am going for custody of my child and already have two that I have custody of. The lawyer fees are really building and I can not afford to lose this case because I couldn’t pay my lawyer. But like I said in the beginning I am a hard worker and would love to give this a shot. Only the $200.00 keeps me at bay!
Just reading the consumer-newsletter job placement add strongly smells like a scam. (2 jobs in my area? Its on the internet my area has nothing to do with the matter. Duh.

I purchased the package and if you can follow instructions one does not need that package at $197.00 to sell on e-bay. It was a lot of reading and then it did not tell you where to go to pass the test. That seemed strange after all of that reading. I had received two newspaper ads ?? with the Sally Vickers story and it does sound real. I am still waiting for answers from them, however I sent the material back as I know how to sell on e-bay. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure that out. Oh yes, the Fortune 500 companies list has not been uncovered and what was on the list of suggestions to sell ranged from pricey gingham picture frames to $900.00 diamond and sapphire bracelets. The merchandise was not of my liking. WOW this is as wordie as Jennifer’s sales pitch.
