Work at Home Position Placement Reviews – Legit or Scam?
Is Work at Home Position Placement a Scam?
Home Job Placement (Now Called Work at Home Position Placement) may seem like a godsend to countless struggling and out of work families. A rare job that allows you to work at your own pace, make as much money as you’d like, and all from the comforts of your home. But before you buy into this “Listing Agent” dog and pony show, take a look at some startling similarities between this new offer and previously busted work at home opportunities.
When you hear “Elizabeth Jackson” speak on the Work at Home Position Placement website you’re probably thinking that she’s a nice lady trying to help you land a job. However, having been around the block a few times, I’m instantly reminded of a few other ladies who have sold some notorious programs in the past.
So before you give away $197 to Elizabeth take a look at some of these similarities….Because in my opinion this is simply version 3.0 of an old pseudo-scam.
The first website that came out with this concept of a Listing Agent job was the now infamous Cathy Banks and her Auction Work at home site. She also claimed that you can make a ton of money getting paid to list products in auctions. Our review of that program elicited roughly 370 negative comments from folks who bought into the hype only to be thoroughly disappointed.

I was also scammed because I failed to do enough research. I purchased the so called Cathy Banks Auction Work at Home program for $99 thinking that it might help my situation. I never got started with the program there was always some technicality. I contacted Customer Support on several occasions. They responded promptly only to lead me in circles and getting no further than where I started. I was reading the comments of victims like myself and I can bear witness to that. Yes there are hidden charges to this program – you find that out after enrolling. I called Auction Work at Home Technical Support at: 1-800-715-1074 who also directed me in circles – the individual who answered the phone spoke with a foreign accent. When I checked my credit card transactions I was billed for an oversees call to that number. I have since canceled my account with them and requested a refund because I was not able to use the program and my 30 days was not up as mentioned in their contract. So far I have not received a refund – I was told by customer service that they couldn’t locate my account. |

Once word got out that this program was not what it claimed the company behind it proceeded to move on to their next venture, a site by the name of “Work at Home Recruiters” with Emily Thomas as the spokesperson. Our review of that program only garnered 58 comments with an average program rating of 1/5 stars.
Here’s a typical customer review of that course:

If I can aid in helping someone to avoid heartache and money loss, I’m happy to do so. This Emily Thomas thing appeared to me, unfortunately, at a time when I was desperate for money and thought this was a possible answer to a little extra income. I read all about it and watched the little online infomercial, and in my vulnerable/desperate state, I signed up, believing this could be a good thing. However, I felt a sickness in my stomach as I did. Huge, huge, huge mistake to sign up for this scam. Once I completed the little course, in one evening, I was spilled into some website that was nothing more than a dead end. It was impossible to navigate, and it was then that I snapped into reality and realized that I had been totally punk’d. DO NOT BUY INTO THIS. It is nothing more than robbery. |
|
This may seem like some out of left field conspiracy theory but if you take a look at the text, sales pitch, and snapshots of these 3 sites and can’t see the similarities then by all means sign up and become a certified listing agent.
Here are some examples of how all three sites are operating to sell you the same info:
The first is a shot of the earnings possibilities found on WorkatHomeRecruiters.com followed by virtually the exact graphic on WorkatHomeAuctions.com. (Click the Pictures to Enlarge)
These next pictures are my favorite; if you pay attention you’ll see that they didn’t even change the testimonial pictures on the websites. Apparently Rulon, R from St. George is such a fan of the program that his testimonial is featured on both Home-Job-Placement.com (in red) and on WorkatHomeRecruiters.com (in green).
|
|
Now, there are many more of these similarities or oversights on the part of these websites, but I think it’s pretty clear that these programs are all related if not downright identical. If you read the sales pitch for all 3 sites you’ll see that it’s the same spiel, a down on her luck lady that stumbles on this amazing opportunity and is now sharing the secrets of how to become an Auction listing agent.
In reality, there is one company behind all these sites and they are simply changing spokes-models and program names whenever negative comments go up and sales go down. There is no auction listing job, and the fake job ticker on these sites is bogus; no matter how many times you visit the page there will still be only 3 positions left.
What this course does is provide you with training on how to list products on eBay, and directs you to a merchandise wholesaler site called DOBA — who charges an additional fee. From there they’ll also have a consultant call you in hopes of upgrading you to a much more costly training package with a price range in the several thousands.
I cannot say whether the course yields positive results or not but I can say that based on the previous comments on our site, and the fact that this company changes its image regularly, it’s best to proceed with serious caution.
They have now added new domains for their program: It can be found at www.home-job-news.net, HomeJobPlacement.net/org/com, and most recently www.workathomepositionplacement.com – with Elizabeth Jackson as the new spokesperson. This is obviously done to avoid people from landing on this page and reading everyone’s predominantly negative feedback.

Thanks so much everyone!

Be forewarned if you are a female. They discriminate against married women who choose to have a job separate from their husband. My husband does not go to my day job with me so why does he have to do an at home job with me? They refuse to work with me without also working with my husband. After the initial investment you will receive many follow up phone calls asking for more money in order to be successful.

I ordered the program for 197 plus shipping, took the 10 step course in 2 days to only realize that you have to purchase many more programs to make this a success so I canceled it and one week later DID GET MY REFUND minus shipping. If you dont have extra money to spend and lots of time to put in then it is not for you. You don’t just post ads on ebay as it says but you post ads, price them, and if they sell you get the difference on them. You have to pay ebay/paypal fees for every ad and a monthly fee of $40-50 for the doba program. I was just pleased to get my refund after seeing all the posts on here that did not. Maybe they have seen these comments and decided to give refunds now. If you don’t have extra cash and lots of time then this isn’t for you.

After an intensive 3 hours on the telephone I have been offered a $12,000 education program with Elizabeth Jackson – luckily it is the weekend and I had time to think about it – think the answer is NO.
September 30th, 2010 at 4:20 am
www.homeemploymentagency.net is getting people all over the world even through facebook. A guy sent me a friends with money as his man pick. Then i went to the site on his blog, filled my name and survey, and then Elizabeth Jackson pops up. Man i really fell for her said story and i was like is this real all day i been telling my self im about to dedicate like 6 to 8 hours a day make good money. But they didn’t get me. It took a whole day of research to find out it wasn’t true.
September 29th, 2010 at 11:43 pm
I got sucked in and I want my BLOODY REFUND OF $226.95 australian dollars!!!
September 23rd, 2010 at 12:33 am
Oh my dear God!! I was about to sign with Jennifer Jackson tonight September 22, 2010, but for some reason something told me to do a research first. I had my CC ready to pay the $197.00 fee and $9.95 for S/H because I really wanted to work at home, but what a surprise I got. I want to thank every body that put the effort and time to alert us about these scams.
Now I rather use my money to pay some of my bills that I was sacrificing to earn some extra money. These so call work at home companies should be put in jail, and we should contact the FBI, Federal Trade Commission and all the government authorities so they can take action and stop these scams.
Again thank you for waking me up. And PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE FOR THOSE WHO ARE LOOKING FOR A JOB AT HOME DON’T FALL FOR IT, GET INFORMATION AND SEARCH FIRST JUST LIKE I DID SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THE PROBLEMS TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK. And keep your day job and work hard just like always had.
Thank you and God bless you all!!!
PS. Do not provide your CC information to anyone on line, because it could be a nightmare
September 12th, 2010 at 6:18 pm
I was guided to this ad after checking on the web about scams.
I entered my name in a so called : Newsletter services who were supposed to tell me when and how to avoid scams. The opposite happened. I lost my job, have 2 kids in school, really need to find a way to make money, So, i paid the $206.95 CAD and found out that all this is a scam. Newsletter Services is a scam, Work at home is a scam.
Please stay away and hope sometime soon the FBI arrest all of them.
September 1st, 2010 at 11:54 am
Well, i purchased Elizabeth Jackson’s Complete Resource Guide last week for $49.95+$9.95.
When i opened the first so-called lesson, i immediately realized, that it was not what they said it was: making simple listings for ebay. Apparently they expected you to handle listings, bids, invoices, postage etc. and basically spend a lot of your own money. The text had all sorts of spelling mistakes, which looked suspicious. After reading several bad reviews on your website, i panicked and next morning i canceled the course. I was very firm with them on the phone, and to my surprise, two days later i got a refund of $49.95 into my credit card account. ( $9.95 postage and handling fee is non refundable )
They called me three times asking why i canceled the program and offering me free courses, but i refused. Thank you everybody for opening my eyes !! May all your dreams come true ! warm regards
September 1st, 2010 at 9:36 am
If only I had read this before, well its to late now. I was conned by an email I received from a company called Paid surveys at home, by a woman called Catherine Thomas, I ended up with a company called Auction listing employment agency and was led to beleive that it was a job listing products on ebay. I have requested a full refund several times and had no luck. I have made a complaint to ebay and doba because of there association which they were not to happy about. I will probably be threatened with legal action by the listing agency when they read the latest email I have sent them. I really dont think that there is a genuine work at home job,
Please beware of this company….

Thank you very much for saving me. I was so happy after reading the first page! Paying attention to Video and the text content and on the second page they are asking me to pay $197.00 plus $9.99 for shipping and handling charges. I was shocked! Why do i have to pay to work? Well everything seems to be too good to be true and then i found the truth of this Scam.
I sincerely thank this website for saving me from big time Elizabeth Jackson.
Never pay for the work!
August 21st, 2010 at 9:03 pm
I purchased the Home employment agency paid $49.95+$9.95 (S&H) i just got scammed i put my credit card payment through it said immediate access and it never switched pages i feel so stupid because this is money that i really couldn’t afford to give up that could of been school clothes for my kids.
August 13th, 2010 at 1:40 pm
DON’T YOU KNOW BY KNOW THAT: ANYONE WHO WANTS YOU TO GIVE THEM MONEY FOR A WORK-AT-HOME-GET-RICH-WORK-IN-YOUR-UNDERWEAR JOB IS A SCAM ???
DON’T MAKE THE OLD SAYING “A FOOL AND THEIR MONEY IS SOON PARTED” COME TRUE, AGAIN.
August 5th, 2010 at 6:57 pm
Why did my friend post something up on Facebook saying his aunt was earning a lot of money? Is that like computer controlled spam or something? Or did he get scammed?
August 3rd, 2010 at 7:19 am
aug 3 2010 over a year of testimonies THAT THIS IS A SCAM SCAN,SCAM! shame on you career builders, ebay,and Msn, for not policing your ads for criminal, hustling impostors -and promptly exposing ,prosecuting, and eliminated these types of leeches who prey on the weak
July 29th, 2010 at 5:22 pm
Thanks for all the good reports. I also almost signed up for it because it sounded so wonderful and easy to make money fast in the environment of your own home. Researched it and found your website with all the necessary information I needed to step away from this offer. Thanks again
July 29th, 2010 at 5:17 am
I wanted to believe this so badly. I didn’t purchase this. Thank goodness, but I was close to breaking out the credit card. I read the Terms & Conditions and if you just read the second paragraph in bold capital letters it very much admits to being a scam. It is not written in the simplest language, obviously to confuse but read it. It basically says what we offer has NOTHING to do with a job, it is for educational and informational purposes only. YEP, that means it’s BOGUS!

Thank goodness I found this information. I was about to sign up and pay my $197.00 then I remembered the old saying “if it sounds to good to be true it probably is” It is such a shame that there are people out their preying on the vulnerable..So thank you to all the people that have taken the time to warn us all from wasting our money and our time.
July 23rd, 2010 at 2:32 am
Thanks to your web site my gut feeling was correct, this is a total scam. How do they still operate? Who says crime doesn’t pay? Just imagine 500 people who dropped at least $200 each, if you do the math that’s 100K in the bad guys pockets. This is why there needs to be more of an effort to get these sites off the internet. Thanks again and I’ll do my best to spread the word about this scam site.
July 19th, 2010 at 10:31 pm
…and to add another note to think about. Notice when you go to close the advertising page a pop up comes up which says “wait!” and says there are only 2 more positions left. Whatever. lol
July 19th, 2010 at 10:29 pm
I rated this program dreadful, because the reviews on this website are most likely true – I would probably bet as much money as I would pay for one of these programs. I wanted to order it so bad, but I had to know. They make it sound too good to be, kind of like the pictures of food in ads :) most of the food is fake or painted.
July 17th, 2010 at 1:01 am
My sister called me this evening because she saw an ad at CarreerBuilders….Their ability to advertise on legitimate sites should not be LEGAL. But apparently it is SO. CareerBuilders is supposed to be a legitimate site, right? You are supposed to be able to look for real jobs that are available in your area of the USA there, right?
CareerBuilders should denounce this site if they are legitimate themselves, RIGHT? PLEASE send this page to CareerBuilders and help us to force them to pay attention to the fact that they are perpetuating fraud by being paid to advertise this supposedly legitimate “JOB” in this desperately deprived employment environment.
If CarrerBuilders is this in need of cash flow then maybe THEY are not as legitimate a business as we all thought either, RIGHT? Maybe other sites need this treatment as well, folks!!! I am not looking for a job so I am not aware of the other job market site’s names. I bet many who see this are though, so please email these employment sites as well and maybe we can help stop these hucksters and help get them imprisoned as they deserve.
July 12th, 2010 at 7:47 pm
Thanks for the heads up. I’m recommending this site to all my friends. Thanks again
July 7th, 2010 at 10:12 am
I ignored all comments on the auction listing job and went and paid for it and found out unable to reach anyone through email,after my certification program I found out I had to have certain tools,more money,sign up for two different accounts with ebay,sellers fees,sign up with doba, have to go through 5 more training sessions with them,have a store front,Then through Doba pick the product you want to auction,pick a price, and no you don’t just pick a product and submit to ebay and get paid. It isn’t anything like that at all. So the big ad that comes out constantly from Elizabeth Jackson on how great this is isn’t the way it works at all. I ended up having to phone long distance several times to get help with this program as the live chat on the course doesn’t work. So, unless you know what you are doing with auctions and can afford all the extras I wouldn’t suggest you sign up for the auction listing agent job. I’m a newbie and thoroughly confused over the lack of information beforehand. Fortunately I didn’t pay for anything else and I am getting a refund.This ad needs to be stopped.It throws poor people off thinking they can make some money to pay their bills.
July 6th, 2010 at 9:12 pm
Hello Everyone,
Wow,,these guys were good. I literally found this article in the Montana Standard online newspaper. At first, I really thought that the article had been written by a local writer for the paper. It was very convincing as it told a story about a local Butte(MT) woman who made alot of money through this “legitimate” work at home program. I am so glad I researched the company and found this reviewopedia website. These scammers need to be hung by there—-!!
June 29th, 2010 at 9:30 pm
both me and my mom tried to buy into it about five times but our card service declined it all five times. we are SOOOOO Grateful we found this out to be a scam.
June 24th, 2010 at 2:33 pm
Thank you SO much for this web site. I also am without work right now and am trying desperately to make more money for my family of 6. Times are tough right now and I am so glad that I did the research before giving these people my money. I was always told that if you have to pay for something then do some research first. It is probably a SCAM!! You should not have to pay someone to work for them…Right!!! I hope no one else gives them their money!!!
June 23rd, 2010 at 3:24 pm
As ‘They’ say:
When it sounds to good to be true … IT IS Too Good to be True !
Honestly I was entirely sold to this offer. I was just going to sign up and I decided to type their name adding scam and reading these 310 comments on this scam is a nice cold shower.
Thanks to everyone to share their experience. I feel sorry for those who have not recovered their money.
June 23rd, 2010 at 8:52 am
Just wanted to say thank you for everyone giving heads up on this site. I too am out of work, and am searching for employment, but this site sounded really good until I got to the part of paying $197.00 and that is when I decided to do some researching. I am really glad I did. I don’t understand why people want to kick people when they are down anyway. They will have to face God someday on this and Lord have mercy on their souls.
June 17th, 2010 at 6:07 pm
I was sucked in. Lost my job and needed an income. Realized quickly I had been well and truly conned. Attempting to get money back but get automated emails and answering machines. This lot should be locked up.
June 17th, 2010 at 1:12 am
Okay, guys i really think your comments are helping your fellow Americans from scammed. you are doing better than your own government. keep posting comments about this. not everybody can think twice before paying these idiots… i can’t expressed in words to all of you who have left there great comments on this site because they are fantastic. work from home are preying on poor Americans and you are saving them. thanks a lot of all of you…But finally, i don’t understand one thing: why would someone want to get money from someone in need? that’s so animalistic behavior filled with greed… America will be like Sodom and Gomora if such things don’t stopped… the weirdest and greatest of the world only happened in America…Sad but true…Love you guys; you make America better for some.
June 17th, 2010 at 12:59 am
THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME MONEY. I ALMOST PAID $197 PLUS SHIPPING TO THESE SATANIC PEOPLE
June 16th, 2010 at 11:17 pm
My brother was telling me about this work at home website so i checked it out. That home page is so appealing and sounds so good, it’s hard not to get suckered in. I was already on the screen where you enter your credit card information. I was about to reach for my credit card and realized i left my wallet in the car. There was reason for me leaving my wallet in the car this morning. The time it took me to get my wallet and back to the computer made me double think about this whole online site. When I got back to the computer I decided to do a search on this website and sure enough….a scam! Thanks guys for your help and reviews. Thank goodness for instincts.
June 12th, 2010 at 9:25 am
My girlfriend and I ordered this “amazing deal” several days ago. However, that very night, I did some research and low and behold, I stumbled across this website, and thank God I did.
The very next morning, I called the Customer service place and told them to immediately cancel. To those who have already paid for this scam and are reading this, when you talk to the customer service lady, be blunt to them. Seriously. Do not be polite, tell them straight forward you know it is a scam and say that you want your money back right away.
So far I have received my e-mails confirming that I am receiving my refund for my $197.00, so I will be keeping an eye on our bank statement.
To anybody who is reading this, and you have ordered this program, please cancel immediately before it’s too late. Call the C.S.H. and tell them you want to cancel, and then go to your bank and let them know A.S.A.P. about this so they can get your money back.
I’ve seen many people posting how they have lost a lot of money on this, so to those who have not purchased this, STAY AWAY! But for those who have stumbled on this website after just purchasing it, don’t be afraid, but call the Customer Service people immediately to cancel, so you can get your money back before it’s too late.
June 10th, 2010 at 5:41 pm
West at Home and Alpine are legitimate companies to work for. They don’t charge money to join. But the process to get started is long. You have alot of paper work and background check ect. Just like a regular job. The pay is low about $8.50 an hour. You work for big companies though like PRO-FLOWERS and DISH
June 9th, 2010 at 2:42 pm
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. My mailman gave me the ad he happened to come upon on line. The woman posted was a woman from milford, which is where i live. He is going to find out if this woman is really receiving checks. When I looked up her name in Milford guess what????? No listing. I almost fell for it but decided to send them an email first asking why i had to pay 197 to GET a job.
June 8th, 2010 at 10:41 am
thanks so much for this excellent and honest website that didn’t try to sell me another product. i was just about ready to hit the button to sign up for the elizabeth jackson deal when i read the fine print, called the phone number and then checked you guys out. good thing i’m analytical and did my due diligence. it saved me 197 dollars and a great deal of hassle. first of all, the one reviewer above is right: those pics are the same people you see in all the sites, and they have fake names. then, the owner is fake as well. there’s no elizabeth jackson. you might as well call her wendy wasp. it’s the same thing. then, check out the contact page on the website, if you can find it again. the web contact is in wyoming, the corporate offices are in henderson, nv (a red flag right there – anything with vegas is generally questionable), and there’s other offices in akron, oh and call centers in texas. how can this be? scam city, my friends, that’s how, pure and simple. it reminds me of the famous adages: you don’t get something for nothing, if it sounds too good to be true, it is and there’s a sucker born every minute. again, thanks for this helpful site and let’s all be careful out there. as for buying jobs or businesses, well, there are legitimate ones you can buy. but those are branded, well known franchise opportunities that are internationally recognized. these type of get rich quick internet schemes, unfortunately, are not. when we are scared and vulnerable, as many of us are in these tough times, it can be hard to tell the difference. it’s terrible that there are so many out there who would prey upon our weaknesses. shame!
June 7th, 2010 at 8:20 am
Thank God I found this web site, I am sitting here thinking I can do that and can earn a fortune. I have been doing online surveys and when they ask me to sign up I think “if I have to pay to earn money you can stick it” but this email came in and I read the web site and thought, wow, things will be easier now and I can contribute to the household income. Ha Ha Ha, now that was a joke, I got my husband to read through it and we both thought sounds great but a lot of money so look it up, don’t really want to be scamed of 197 bucks. Well one google search for Work at Home Position Placement and the search bar added “A scam” behind it and i found this web site and as soon as i started reading I was counting my lucky stars. How can people be allowed to have this S…T on the web, they should be charged with fraud because they are not delivering what they are promising and if there is a 60day refund then why can’t we get our money back. If you can write what you like and no one is responsible where does that leave us. I even started doubting this site thinking, now is this a scam as well. It makes you not want to search the net because what is true what is not. But if we don’t we are left behind the world of technology and information. All of my sympathy is with the people who have ripped off but thank god I looked before I leaped. My advice, DO NOT PAY TO EARN MONEY!!!! DO WE PAY TO GO TO WORK, NO.

Is there any work at home jobs that are not scams. I know I am interested in them.
June 2nd, 2010 at 4:34 am
im too careless to know and read/search for this site i already pay 197 thru my debit card savings account 5 hours ago. i called my bank reporting this case to block all the transaction coming from that site because im scared they charged me monthly bill and to get refund. they said i need to wait until the item that i purchased receive then if i have evidence proving it is fraud need to file for the bank to go investigation for my refund. seriously i really need my money back and to stop this kind of b_-_h that continuously operating. i can only do the saying “do not do unto others what you dont want others do unto you”.

I just have to say.. I am soo glad to have found this site. Your info, and customer responses have been very helpful.
I did just send an email to USA Today asking them if they researched Work at Home Position Placement, as WAHPP web site has stated, “as seen on”, CNN, NBC, ABC, and USA Today. Just because its seen on these media sites, DOES NOT make the reputable.
Im glad I read the fine print at the site, and also decided to do some research. I am retired, and money is more tight than I figured. BUT I am not about to PAY someone to pay me to work. That does not compute.
Also in my research I found many, many people complaining about not receiving services promised, yet money being taken from their accounts.
This place needs to be investigated by the BBB.
Thank You again, Reviewopedia. You are well worth the read.
May 27th, 2010 at 1:06 pm
Thanks so much for these reviews. The pitch really sounds good on the surface. However, as with a pond, the surface is beautiful. Under the surface is a lot of murk and mud and foul smelling stuff. I almost did it. I really don’t have money to waste. I’ll keep trying to get a legitimate job.
May 27th, 2010 at 8:07 am
DO NOT give in to this scam! People, if you are reading this then know that it is a SCAM and it will only put you in a worse position than what you are (probably) already in!
Just for some encouragement, I am desperate to make money…single father, in college/credit card debt, so you are NOT ALONE. =). Just work hard out there and keep fighting for work, dont give in! … “You fall 7 times, You get back up 8″
God Bless, and steer clear of “make money from home” scams!
May 26th, 2010 at 1:00 pm
I knew this sounded too good to be true! Thanks for all of the valuable comments!

Stay well away,
I paid the 197 and was then contacted by the Professional Learning Institute. After a convincing 2 hour phone call where I was told the tutors were earning in excess of 5000 USD a month using this program and I would be given step by step coaching to achieve the same I agreed to sign up- dumb and gullible- they took 7,700 USD from my CC account- maxed out. No problem I thought because if I applied myself I could pay this back! Oooopps big mistake.
There was a 3 day clause where I could ask for a refund- the program arrived on the 4th day- I was shocked and horrified and realized it wasn’t how it had been described. The E-bay tutorial was generally freely available and better E-bay tutorials are available for less than 50 USD. The whole idea was to find a niche product with high demand and low supply find a dropshipper and bingo in no time you will be making thousands a month- THIS IS COMPLETE B*******T. For a start margins in drop shipping and on e-Bay are very small unless you are a an established specialist with independent supply it isn’t even economically viable- Of course those charlatans Professional Learning Institute/Emily Thomas work at home recruiters / Jennifer Johnson etc- all Ohio based and basically one and the same know this- they may indeed make thousands a month but mainly by ripping poor and desperate people off.
Anybody who doesn’t get a complete refund from the company is counted a success- so like my Australian friend who posted something similar above I am one of their quoted 97% success rate stories- the fact I’ve fought with them told them they are cheats asked for a full refund several times, contacted the DA in Ohio (who was sympathetic to me) managed to get a partial refund but I still want a total refund- they had the audacity to charge me 2000 USD for coaching- which consisted of Ryan or Candace phoning for 5 minutes and asking how the program was going- the program being step by step useless e_bay tutorials- the tools they provided ( a basic research analysis tool ) wasn’t even relevant for e-bay UK- when I explained this I was told to look at completed listings!!!!! Sorry but I knew all this before- your program is based on lies and b******t- come and take me to court for saying so- all the testimonies are obviously false.
These cheats still have over 3000 USD of my money for causing me hell of a lot of stress- I developed psoriasis and insomnia as a result desperately trying to find a way to recoup the money- firstly by working on their ideas and assumptions- I have excel spreadsheets of over 30 product lines I researched- it doesn’t work- drop shipping doesn’t work- market saturation on e-bay occurs in a matter of days and you will be stuck with stock that you can only sell at a loss.
Why is this company still operating??? I feel desperately sorry for the thousands of people who world wide fall for this shoddy scam- the ring leaders of this need rounding up and sending to Jail for fraud.
STAY AWAY FROM PROFESSIONAL LEARNING INSTITUTE\ EMILY THOMAS etc. They are only out to scam you. They lie, they cheat ans steal- they will not get you a successful on-line business- only the promise of one on ever more mounting debt- and when you fail (almost inevitable) they won’t care- they only wanted to “help” you while you could pay them.
May 24th, 2010 at 7:17 am
I’m glad I read this website. I too have been looking for work in this poor economy and spending $199.00 was really not in my budget. I’m sure there are legit job opportunities out there where your credit card information is not required, which I would not give out in the first place. If anyone knows of internet job opportunities, please let me know
May 22nd, 2010 at 2:38 am
Thanks for the heads up. Somehow Elizabeth Jackson sent her promo email to all my facebook contacts as if I had sent it. How did that happen??
How do these people sleep at night
thanks for the info
May 21st, 2010 at 11:56 pm
well…too bad i didn’t find this before i found the website telling you how amazing doing Elizabeth Jackson’s online auctioning would be. i should’ve realized it was too good to be true…but i was stupid and filled it all out and typed in my card number and got my money taken, then went to the “30 day trial” for the training and the buttons happened to not work. awesome.. not. so much for that. and i soooo did not have the money to just get it taken away like that. i wonder if there is anyway to get it back, and get back at the scammer. ughhh
May 19th, 2010 at 9:45 pm
Thanks to all of you for you’re posting of this scam. I won’t be spending a dime with them or anyone like them. I knew it sounded too good to be true. The first red flag was their website was shut down. This prompt me to do more research of the company. That’s when I found your posting, which is plenty conformation for me.
May 19th, 2010 at 6:22 pm
I just received an email from Elizabeth Jackson, and I too thought it seemed so easy and great, but then i thought ok how much are they gonna want…and long and behold it was 197.00, now i have seen this amount before on another one, so i chose to google it and look what i found! And everybody is right, you shouldn’t have to pay to work!!! I also did try to leave a comment on their page where they have all the fake comments! i wrote in it and it never posted! They are sick people! Karma is a bitch! Thanks for making this page so at least you saved some people from losing their money!
May 19th, 2010 at 3:49 pm
Like many others have commented: YOU DON’T PAY TO WORK. That logic alone pretty much says it. It’s the same as paying to gain access to a regular job interview – doesn’t make sense, right?? You’re the one who should be getting paid!
If you are charged a fee to get information (and some more to start an internet business), that’s already a RED FLAG. I just paid $8 for an information package and am going to return it ASAP – will also block the company from withdrawing more of my money because I heard people will continually get charged even if they decided not to work for that company.
FORGET ABOUT DEBATING WHICH BUSINESSES ARE LEGIT AND WHICH ONES ARE SCAMS. YOU DON’T WANT TO RUN THE RISK OF GETTING EVEN MORE BROKE.
May 19th, 2010 at 1:32 pm
Thank you for all the postings. I came across this on Careerbuilders and it looked legit. I was just about to buy this and thought i might read any negatives and WOW. There are to many to count. This girl will not be buying into this program.
May 18th, 2010 at 10:23 am
It all just sounded way way way too good to be true. Something that easy can never make you that much money. I thought about it and have known about other companies doing these things and what do you know did a little research and look what i found. These little dirty Bastards i would love to find them and pound on them for taking advantage of people who are really struggling.
May 17th, 2010 at 3:12 pm
Thanks for the information. i like many others have been prey for these money-hungry, vultures. i dont want to waste more time and money in a gimmick. i actuality got a newspaper clipping from a unknown person from ohio. i remind you i’m in pennsylvania. no return address on the envelop. the clipping refers me to homejobplacement.net . it says abc,cbs,cnn,usa today and msnbc recommend it. but the website is now closed. excepting no more applicants. NO I THINK THE SCAM IS “ON TO THE NEXT SITE!”
May 16th, 2010 at 3:12 pm
You guys are full of it. Quit bitching and read the fine print. I’ve been using this program for the past 6 months. my income is about 600 a week I don’t work that often but I need the money. I’m a single mom and I needed to find a way to make money from home. I signed up for it after actually doing RESEARCH. READ THE FINE PRINT!! Its not that hard to do but it does take some effort. It’s not a scam and these people are really trying to help you. They’ve help me so much so THANK YOU HOME JOB PLACEMENT!!
May 14th, 2010 at 9:55 pm
I’m so glad that I have read these statements because I to have had back surgery and was hoping to make some money while I have been recovering I didn’t have the 197 to spend and so I thank you all for your notes. The newspaper came to me form a friend that was trying to help I have been with out any kind of money now for 1 year and 6 months and now I was hoping to get started so thanks again Patty
May 14th, 2010 at 1:54 pm
I am embarrassed to admit that I fell for this! Red flags started flying after the 1st page of sign-up. First page money, second page more money, third page more-more money and that was when I knew everything was wrong. Unfortunately toooooo late for me, I was asked for and gave my cc info on the first page. Hoped if I backed out of the program I would be safe, no luck! Checked my online bank account immediately and transaction was already pending and couldn’t be stopped. Called the company and asked for refund, sure no problem in 7-14 days. My comment–you can take it out in minutes but can’t put it back for a week or more? Her comment-sorry that’s our policy. Think I’ll get a refund—stayed tuned—I’ll let you know!!
May 3rd, 2010 at 9:27 am
I too purchased this program recently…Do I think I overpaid? Absolutely. However, I purchased a manual to be successful. If you look at this as a training/class then you aren’t being scammed. If you go into it thinking you are going to be a millionaire next week you’re in trouble. The bare bones breakdown is this-You are going to list dropship items on Ebay.
You can do all of this with or without the course-It is basically a manual to fast track you on Ebay. I did purchase a few other “helpful tools”-I will be canceling a few of those today. You are starting YOUR OWN BUSINESS. It takes money to make money. If this will put your family in financial dire straits now is NOT the time.
You may not make money tomorrow and it is a big, big time investment to get started but I am already having success!!! If you are already an Ebayer then you know you have listing fees and a PayPal account is absolutely necessary. You will also need a membership with a dropshipping wholesaler. These are the 3 essentials to starting YOUR VERY OWN home business!
I would purchase this program again for the jumpstart but I would NOT purchase any of the extras-Extra education, coaching and links to other websites (market research etc.) until I had made back my initial investment! I hope this helps someone start their own venture!!
May 1st, 2010 at 1:32 am
Ha! Bingo! You hit the nail on the head. I was thinking this kinda sounded like the DOBA thing…I mean, seriously, first the add tells you that you go to a list to simply post things for sale. Ok, BUT they show the assistant training site and it barely covers up the “and now sell your product!
, if it is ONLY data entry, what is the whole things about needing to pay $197 then why do you need to monitor the sales??
I was going to call them and ask more questions tomorrow, but I decided to still research some more. Glad i found your commentary!
April 26th, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Sorry to hear of everyone’s bad experiences with Work At Home jobs, especially the racket that has been portrayed on this Reviewopedia.com Web site.
I thought I would offer some heartening news of someone who actually works at home and has a couple at-home jobs.
I work at home, but I work at home as a Sr. Editor with a very well-established e-publisher. Found the job through Craigslist.com, when the e-pub company was first being founded back in 2006; I’m still there, and have a stable of authors. My publisher pays us for our work (quite good, actually, for e-pubishing), and we get bonuses.
BUT, many other e-publishers don’t pay; you work for free.
You have to do your research and check out EVERYTHING. You also have to have some sort of specific skill you can market; mine happens to be that of a fiction writer who has been in the field since 1993. I have experience. I also found two jobs via Craigslist.org. One of them was for a manuscript critique, and the other job has become an ongoing one; I have a very good ongoing job relationship with a PhD student/professor, for whom I proofread his journal articles. As soon as he gets his dissertation done, I will proof that as well.
There are also lots and lots of scams on Craigslist.com as well. Unfortunately, you have to check EVERYTHING out. And Craigslist.com, especially when it comes to anything having to do with writing jobs, they will POST when someone is a scam, so you can steer clear of them. Sort of what you’re doing here. Which is a very, very good public service to everyone. Glad to see it.
Needing some extra money, I recently signed up for some Internet survey companies. They want you to sign up for zillions; I signed up for four of them. That’s all. Even just those few companies send me lots and lots of surveys. I can’t even begin to do them all. But I do a few. I get points, or I get enrolled for a “chance” at a drawing. I “don’t” get paid for every one I fill out. (In fact, I’m not a good person to be doing these, as I don’t buy a lot of stuff, I don’t use a lot of stuff, and we live and buy organic, so I get bumped out of a lot of surveys and never get to complete them.) I suppose at one time, they used to pay for every survey that was completed; now, they have so many people doing them, it’s not feasible for the companies to do so.
However, I didn’t go into doing surveys, expecting to become rich. I went into it for some supplemental income, a few dollars here, a few dollars there. If I win the $100, $500, $250, $1000, or $2500 “bonus,” well, then, that’s an extra special treat for me!
When I first looked into doing surveys from home, the site I looked at was a testimonial from someone who wanted me to “pay” them $69 to “get” the names of the companies. Um, no. However, upon clicking on and reading the very little icon buttons on the bottom of the screen, I read and found out more about how to do surveys at home, and what they involved. By clicking on the “LAST” button at the bottom of the screen, I got to a page that stated I “DID NOT” have to pay for this information because it is FREE and to hit this Button: I did, and I have NEVER paid to find companies to do surveys for.
However, the one lament I do have is that once you get into a company or two, then they want you to sign up for every company doing surveys out there. So if you’re not doing anything and can sit and fill out surveys all day long, then that might be the way for you to go. Because the more you (qualify for) and fill out, the more chances you have to gain points and/or qualify for the money ones and the more chances you have to be entered in their money drawings.
I have to say that I have so far received $25 for doing surveys, and I’ve only been doing them for a month. So they’re NOT all bogus. You just have to find the legitimate ones. And there ARE legitimate ones. But you’re NOT going to make hundreds and thousands of dollars a month. Um, no. Not gonna happen. Unless you happen to win one of their monthly drawings. But I wouldn’t count on winning something every month.
My editing job with the e-publisher, which I do at home and is A LEGITIMATE AT-HOME JOB, pays me fairly well for a part-time job, thank you very much. The survey jobs–well, you get back what you put in. Depends on how much you do them. But I have NEVER paid anyone to do surveys. And any of them that ask for money, I immediately delete and run. It’s like the Nigerian scam; the minute those pop up in my e-mail, they’re sent to my spam folder and reported to my e-mail service as a scam. I work WAY too hard to just give anyone my money. Believe me; I don’t make a hell of a lot of money, working at home and raising my daughter. But, I do make enough for that incidental money we need to scrape by (we live off my husband’s income). And, it gives me the time I need to work on my own writing. So for me, it works.
Don’t get desperate, because I swear, thieves can smell desperation. Look at and read everything; then go on-line and do your research. I had to submit a resume for the e-publisher job, and I also sent along a snippet of my own current writing that fit with what they were selling (erotic romance/hot writing). Then, I had an hourlong phone interview with the OWNER of the company, who actually had a couple of other opportunities open as well. (And it helped that I contacted my NATIONAL WRITER’S ORGANIZATION and found out more about the owner and made sure that she was legit; she was.) I chose the editor position, because there was more pay to be had.
So working at home is possible; it’s just not that easy to find legitimate jobs. I have since been trying to find more editorial jobs (like proofreading) to supplement my job; a lot of e-publishing houses don’t pay their proofers (they get free books instead). And NYC publishers usually have their proofers in-house and don’t use freelancers.
Sorry I can’t give lots of heartening news and websites of all the legitimate ones that have At-Home Jobs, but the fact is, the jobs you’re going to find are going to be jobs that are very specific, like editing and writing. Or medical field jobs. Or transcription jobs, with typing of over 100+ words/minute. And those are going to be BORING jobs, typing congressional minutes or something (did one of those; yuck. Quit after that one).
Oh, and don’t even get me started on the scams there are in the (freelance) writing field. I could talk volumes. I actually wrote a short info bio on a famous person as a “test” for a company that, if they liked my writing, would come forward with an offer for more work/pay. Never heard from them again. Then found out they were a scam. That bio is probably out there, floating around in cyberspace, and I was never paid a dime for my time or work. Ah, well, live and learn, right?

“For purposes of privacy, the creator of Home Job Placement is using the name Jennifer Johnson” hmmm… what does that say?? who is the CEO or VP and why is (s)he not showing their face and telling their stories….???
Jennifer is a facade as the person is concerned, also if you read between the lines, what does the statement “attestants have been remunerated for allowing Home Job Placement’s use of the same” say??
Do your homework, research the company, and read their fine print…….

I was just about to fall into that scam. I’m so glad i looked at this website first. thank you for smartening me up.
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:33 am
Interesting. Look up their website (HomeJobPlacement.org) on Whois.sc and all their information is hidden. Seems to me that anyone who is trying to hide who owns their domain name is hiding more than just that.
April 23rd, 2010 at 3:05 am
she took my money soooo umm can i do something bout this since it’s a scam
April 21st, 2010 at 4:49 pm
Are there any real online jobs out there?
April 21st, 2010 at 11:35 am
Thank you for these reviews. It is really sad that there are these scam type of organizations which take advantage of people that are honest and hard working. Jennifer Johnson should feel ashamed of herself and doing this presentation with a child in her arms. Someday I hope that there is a legislative bill to pursue and prosecute with jail time & huge fines against these organizations. I believe that people around the world are losing billions of dollars. The United Nations should develop an Internet Police Force.
April 20th, 2010 at 5:32 am
I am actually always suspicious, careful and skeptical when it comes to sites offering you different kinds of home jobs, taking a charge for it.
I am reluctant: I mean, tell me any HONEST company charging you for a service you can either do by yourself, making a Google search, or maybe even going to the employment office to get FOR FREE.
Well, I don´t really consider it reasonable and serious – probably a SCAM in my eyes. I think its risky probably wasting away 179 USD – that´s a lot of money jeopardy. So, I don´t really fully trust this kind of services. I would rather do anything better for that 179 USD – then RISKING loosing them FOR EVER.
April 19th, 2010 at 11:32 pm
thank you very much for this one. especially that comment by Jennifer last October 9.
April 16th, 2010 at 2:11 pm
THANK GOD 4 THIS SITE I WOULD HAVE GOT SCAMMED

yes it’s a scam. to get refunded file with Akron BBB. They get people their refunds from this company.
Make note that ALL ‘work at home’ online companies are bogus. Do not fall for them. The only real work at homes are Avon, Partylite, etc — direct selling/home shows. THAT’S IT.
Also keep in mind with NSA (home job): this list is on the BBB report too.

Visit this link friends. This article is published on 12-April-2010. They are still active.
Friends, we all need extra money. But I think we must be united in a place and regularly discuss about the scams in the field of JOBS. The frauds are trying to extract our money (some of you have already lost your dollars).
Let us start a large awareness against this home job company. Even I never trapped in any of such company, I think it is my social duty to tell as much people as possible and save them.
If we keep silence, we are helping the frauds.
I am going to mail this information to all in my contact and also request them to forward the mail to all in their contact. You (everyone who reading it) please do the same. Remember, they are still active.
I am a very offensive minded young man and I just want to destroy such thing that exploits good money from good people already in problem. Now I am taking it as a MISSION. I will finish this company within next one month.
April 12th, 2010 at 10:18 pm
Thank you everyone.. I decided I wanted to do some research before jumping on this oh too good to be true offer and I am disappointed it wont work but very glad that as an out of work mother I didnt wastes $200 on this scam. I was all for the program until the last page when it tells you that in order to work for them it will cost you $197 and thats when my stomach got sick and I thought why would I need to pay them to work for them? That just doesnt seem right…. Thank you all for snapping me back to reality, I was just desperate and this company was trying to feed on it.
April 12th, 2010 at 3:05 pm
TY everyone for the info… I almost fell for it too.
April 11th, 2010 at 10:16 pm
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for all the folks that posted this information for us. I saw the site and almost fell for it, but something didn’t seem right, so I dug a little deeper and found this forum. These scammers should be sought and prosecuted.
April 11th, 2010 at 9:13 pm
I have been seeking online jobs both for myself and a family member. The purpose of supporting restoration of an old house. I have tried the survey route which netted me nothing but tremendous amount of e mail leading nowhere. When I came across this in my e mail, it sounded like something I could do. I listened to the video and read the entire “message”. It was the terms and conditions which led me to check further. The fact that they tell you Jennifer Johnson’s name as well as the names of those who give testimonials is fictitious was a big red flag. Also, after all the hype about making a consistent stream of income, they tell you that there is no guarantee. I work hard in my own business. Based on my level of investment of time and energy, I am reimbursed. The very thing this site offers seems to be negated in the terms and conditions. Still looking for at real work at home opportunities. Another save from scams by those who care.
Thanks.

I went to the Better Business Bureau Website for Akron Ohio. These companies are under the company by the name of NSA Technologies, LLC and that company has an “F” rating with many complaints. The website is akron.bbb.org. it will list all of the companies and the reason for the F rating I am glad I checked before I gave my credit card info. Getting refunds was one of the biggest complaints and the address the company lists is actually a UPS store. The owners name is Mark Jenney. I got that far because I read the disclaimers and Terms and Conditions on the site that offered the training. I hope this helps and be sure in the future to read terms and conditions and know where they are located and check their business license (in this case it would not help because the actual name was totally different that what I read on their website. Then, be sure to check the Better Business Bureau for that city/state. So sad that there is someone preying on people that just want to earn a living. Good luck and I hope this helps
April 9th, 2010 at 11:36 am
I bought the Jennifer Johnson Job Placement program, because as well as many of you I was desperate to earn some money due my economic condition. Now, after return her product, I am waiting for my refund. Beside that, and in order to get my money back, I had to paid shipping cost. I paid $195.00 plus 3.95, and now I am fighting for my money for more than 20 days. Her phone Number: 1-866-261-5415. Please, stay away from her.
April 9th, 2010 at 11:13 am
Got fished in yesterday on this scam. Here is how it went. Received in mail a page that looked like a newspaper public announcement, but has no newspaper name on it. It is dated Friday, March 5, 2010. Upon reading it appeared interesting and I went to the web site to get info on becoming an “Auction Listing Specialist”, homejobplacement,net
The site is well written and has Jennifer Johnson’s picture and voice. The pitch is that she has contacts with many large fortune hundred companies, i.e. Dell, Target , etc. They use you to list their merchandise and you are paid 5,00 for listing on ebay by only hitting a button. This is due to her having software to accomplish this. I thought it is logical a large company might contract for someone else to list merchandise they want to get rid of. The they use the service and pay to us a $5.00 fee. Then I was to give my zip code to see if my area was still available. What has location got to do with and on line business? This was the first red flag. Then the pop up screen came up telling me I was fortunate as my area was available. The site is many pages long and it goes into the same verse from the rag to riches that all sales letters have.
This is really too long to hold most persons attention, but l keep on listening and reading. Then the simple universal sales technic of pre qualifying you started. I was told I would have to qua;ify before I could be given the info to know how to properly use the software, etc. I had to go through 10 steps to get certified. I was told this would be easy and many persone got qualified in one day. The cost quoted was 197.00 the reduced price, but it came with a 60 day guarantee. So I bit on the hook and completed the application to see if I was acceptable for the program. This is to mainly give the info needed to see how much they could probably get on back end sales. Since i live on a fixed limited income I told them I wanted the least amount shown. Guess what I was accepted. Now I Had TO GET CERTIFIED. This involves 10 steps, each is approximately 15 pages lone. I completed step one, which gives a lot of info on ebay and how to use it. I never had any experience with ebay as buyer or seller. I saw that the spots were locked until you passed the test on the previous one. The info on the site you could do all in one day. I found out the second step was opened to me, so I started on it. Then the phone rang and it was some one congratulating me and given me the name of my personal coach. Then gave me the url of another site so I could get en e-book giving me more info. I said thanks and wrote it down. I asked “This is free, Right” No she said it is 59.00 the reduced price, DO NOT CHARGE MY CREDIT CARD, I DO NOT WANT IT!
There were at least 7 to 8 attempts to get more sales from me. I called my credit card company and have closed that account. BEWARE OF This SCAM, it is well done except they make the mistake of over kill with all the attempts to load up the card.
April 8th, 2010 at 12:37 pm
This site was definitely a blessing for me today. Thank You. I appreciate it.
April 7th, 2010 at 7:31 pm
“But they say it isn’t a scam”, why would they lie to use. Must be the P.T. Barnum syndrome – i.e., there’s a sucker born every minute and that was in the 1920′s. Must even more to day. ;-{
April 6th, 2010 at 11:20 pm
Found this through eHow- hottest work at home jobs of 2010.
weekly-consumer-newsletter.com/hottest-new-work-at-home-job-of-2010#comment-2802
Of course, I couldn’t trust it at all, there weren’t ANY negative comments in the comment box below and everyone who said it worked sounded fake. I read this article, then left a comment of my own with the link to this page saying it’s a scam and not to waste the money getting certified, interestingly, my comment did not appear, must be why there are no negative comments…
April 6th, 2010 at 11:09 pm
Hi i seen the ad on facebook &a clicked it & went through the whole process cause I was desperate for money. I put in my credit card details but I had no money in the account so they couldn’t take it.
I thought if this was so good why can’t they take the money out of your first pay check???
I asked my husband for the money & he said no that how can you make money when you will be paying listing fees & also the fees when the item sells which would be more then the $5 you make for each listing (little did I know you had to pay for shipping fees too).
I hadn’t given up on the idea & last night he said to research if it’s a scam & I put in info to no avail & decided to click on a more info link in an email I got from them today & it took me to the CNN page where they had been on that & had all the testimonies. It had the option to submit a query so I put in it my name & email address & asked how can you make money from this when you are using your own eBay account & will have to pay the listing & selling fees cause it would seem you would be either counteracting your outlays or outlaying more then you are making. Surprise surprise when I refreshed it my query still hadn’t made it to the comments page which was my red flag. Seems they only allow the “good” comments through. That is where I got the home job placement name from & added scam after it to see what popped up as per my husbands advice & got this site. Now I will steer clear of it… Only downfall is they have my credit card number & I submitted it a couple of times hoping they would give me an option to pay after I start earning… Hope the money doesn’t start coming out when there is money enough in there.
Sorry to all those who got scammed & just glad my husband said no to giving me money & suggested I do research after he seen one that was also supposedly on CNN & he researched it when he went on the site & GNN come up instead of CNN.
Good luck all trying to get a refund & here’s hoping I don’t have to go through the same process.
April 4th, 2010 at 1:48 pm
PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.Home job placement has the lowest despicable people on the planet.they have stolen my money,gave me nothing but frustration and and angry wife.
April 3rd, 2010 at 9:08 am
i got a newspaper print of homejobplacement.net
about placing ads for companies in your area
for about 75$ an hour. start up was 197$ so i went and reviewed and came across this site, regardless to say i did not join.most if not all sites that claim to be a JOB and want you to pay are scams. Educate yourself and learn how to make money online for yourself, affiliating products become an MLM distributor there are many,
April 3rd, 2010 at 6:54 am
Hey guys so many people agree still getting scammed by this company, on this website which is owned by home job placement,wont even let your post go through to even warn people that they are scam artist, None of my post i sent to people got posted or approved check it out
weekly-news-now.com/thank-you/comment-page-1#comment-1272. They only post people that want to try it and fake responses from people that work for the company.
April 2nd, 2010 at 4:26 pm
Dear Sirs,
I have read the comments posted on your site regarding Home Job Placement.org. I won’t bore your readers with my tales of woe, suffice it to say the comments already posted cover it all. What I will say, however, is how I came to almost fall into their trap…
I regularly check the Times Online job section here in the United Kingdom and that is where I saw this “job” advertised. Naivety Rules OK in this instance because I followed through all the spiel purely on the basis of it appearing in such a respectable publication.
$197 is a sufficiently large sum of money to give pause for thought – had they been less greedy and asked for something smaller, I suspect I would have “given it a go” and lived to chalk it up to experience. I doubt if I would have had the patience to chase repayment on, say, $20. Multiply $20 by the number of people who feel as I do and you can imagine the sums involved worldwide, all turning into pure profit for them.
I decided to Google the company and came straight to this site. Thank goodness I did, too. I not only wish to thank all the kind people who have gone before me for their warnings, I would like to say that I have emailed the Times Online, included a link to this site and pointed out that a newspaper who happily accepts paid advertisements from companies like this one risks the loss of their reputation as a serious and respectable institution.
Just before someone tells me the Times is in it to make money/it is not responsible for… No, it is not responsible for the actions of unscrupulous companies – but it is responsible for preserving its reputation and applications to advertise this sort of material should set alarm bells ringing somewhere!
I wish everyone out there the very best of luck in securing a paid job. I was made redundant 7 months ago (in my mid-fifties) so my future is far from rosy and my age is against me in the search for a new position. If anyone does know of legitimate work from home opportunities, please put a post on here so we can share in your good fortune.
Thank you for the site, and to everyone who has contributed to saving me from myself.
Kind regards,
Jane
April 1st, 2010 at 8:18 pm
Damnit!
Called these people since there “submit a question” feature on the website did absolutely nothing. When I told “Brittany” that, she suggested I reboot my computer! I said that cannot possibly be the problem & gave up. F*ck these predatory ass*oles!
April 1st, 2010 at 2:59 am
I thought so very hard about signing up to the homejobplacement.net site after reading a news paper
clipping sent to me by mail. Thank you all for this input about this scam. I am now convinced that this is definitely a scam. If this really was a job position it would not cost any money to start. After all of us having a hard time making it in this world do not need to pay to start a position to make good money.
Thanks, Duane
March 31st, 2010 at 2:23 pm
I came very close to allowing myself to apply for this work at home business. However, after sleeping on it, I realized that there are some (not one)RED flags:
1) Absolutely no telephone number
2) No street address, city, or state
3) THE LADY doing the most talking has to go by a false name to protect her privacy??????
4) The people testifying how great this job is are not showing their complete name, should someone want to talk to them for their feedback.
To each one of you who posted the full truth, thank you so very much for saving me from loss of money. Hugs to each of you!

If only these offers were actually true…as an unemployed stay-at-home single mother of 2, I am desperate for a way to pay my mortgage each month in this depressed economical job market, but it appears this easy-money avenue is not the road I should take. Is there any legitimate profitable at-home opportunities to create income at an amount substantial enough to make it worth your time? I’m coming up empty handed so far.
March 31st, 2010 at 11:47 am
thanks you so much for this info! i knew it was too good to be true!!
March 30th, 2010 at 11:30 am
Did the company resemble (any) of this (they change names frequently)
Emily Thomas, aka, Jennifer Johnson, and ALME, aka NSA Technologies, LLC. Both Francie and Dan have admitted to what amounts to fraudulent advertising. Are we having fun yet? Grrr… –JC Ryan, Ryan Diversified Enterprises, LLC. customer service number 1-866-261-5415

If any of this looks familiar, YOU’VE BEEN SCAMMED. Be sure and report this to BBB, Maybe if enough reports are filed we can put these leeches out of business.
Don’t be a Succa’

For all of you who had problems, please file a complaint….check with your state to see how you can find an advocate to get your reimbursement. Contact the better business bureau….see link below:

I know better ….you can get a job to do customer service and stay home it may not make you reach but it will give you a little money ….go to Hilton they are a good company for people wanting to work from home and they don’t charge you a fee ……they train you and have flexible hours too ….don’t do something crazy save your $197
March 29th, 2010 at 1:41 pm
I was just about to send my money, when I came across this website, Thanks so much for the feedback, I was desperate to earn xtra money to help supplement income, to help pay my ever growing bills, with the economy the way it is right now, it should be against the law for these scam artist to take advantage of hard working people such as ourselves, I am a single grandparent, raising her grandson, and paying a house note, car note, car insurance, and supporting an 8yr old, I need every penny I earn. When I read the ad, it gave me hope, that I would be able to make life just a little bit easier for myself and my grandson. I glad that I didn’t take take that leap.
March 28th, 2010 at 5:01 pm
All I want to say folks be careful, don’t be greedy and stay alert from all these kinds of fake opportunities and conduct your research before you move step further. Those crooks are really clever and they take advantage of slow economy and make our public foolish & greedy and motivate us to act quickly….
March 28th, 2010 at 4:55 pm
I agree, I wish I hadn’t been so desperate for money to be conned into giving this company my very hard earned money, yet to be basically lied to on how easy it was to make money. I ended up spending $211.00 plus was put on someones mailing list whom I did not agree to that is taking money out of my account for a service I have no clue what it is for, now I have to go to my bank and pay more money to stop these payments from being taken out of my account. What is wrong with our country?? To let people like these to get away with what they get away with. I even called customer service,told them I wasn’t satisfied,they told me okay just send you materials back for a full refund, less shipping and handling. Did that, paid postage and had it tracked, someone signed for it, so they received it,but I guess to my dismay and no surprise still to this date have not received any monies?? Go figure. Lesson to be learned I guess. Please don’t let this happen to you!!!
March 27th, 2010 at 11:34 pm
I was so glad that I decided to research this company and came across your page. I am out of work and hubby is on medical with serious back issues. I have sold on ebay and saw an article about the company in an online news paper. I almost was going to take part of my rent and figured could just put it back out of the money I make. Something told me to check them out first. Even if someone is making money out of this scam. I am not going to chance my little bit of savings I have left to chance it. Thank you for doing the research so we don’t have to get sucked in.
March 27th, 2010 at 12:03 pm
I can’t believe so many people didn’t read the small print at the end of the e-mail. There they make it known that Jennifer Johnson is a fictitious name they use to cover the real person or people behind this scam.

For all of those who got into this SCAM, call your Better Business Bureau in your region and file a complaint. Give them as much information as you have, if you got a receipt of your payment then print it out, write down the phone numbers you have dialed, as well as show them your detailed phone bill to indicate you have been trying to contact the company. It is time to wise up! If all the people who was scammed join it will come to an end, but you really have to move! Don’t let those $197 be forgotten please.
I was scammed $500 for a teaching job, I was quite naive back then, and suffered the loss of what then was my full savings.
Call your BBB! NOW! Report this!
BTW WHY is YAHOO allowing THEIR sites to SPONSOR links to this scam? That’s how I stumbled into it, though now knowing better I also did some research!
Good luck everyone!
March 25th, 2010 at 9:38 am
I was this close() too ordering from ms. Johnson til i read up on the scam. I’ve always took pride in learning from other peoples mistakes. thank you for protecting my already fragile bank account. & i will be sure to spread the word.
March 25th, 2010 at 5:13 am
I looked into those “opportunities” and ebayers said it’s absolutely a scam- you have to use your own account and credit card to be an auction listing agent! Plus, if they charge you money to start- IT’S TOTALLY A RIP OFF. In addition, there is no such thing as a “Auction Listing Agent Certification”, or guarantee for so called “job placement”. DO NOT PAY THESE PEOPLE ONE PENNY.
March 24th, 2010 at 2:20 am
I am in a financial crisis and I was really thinking of trying it. But I prayed to God to please help me to know if this is a scam or not. My prayer has been answered. Thank you Lord.
March 23rd, 2010 at 6:02 pm
The Jennifer Johnson home job placement is a big rip-off. These people give the word SCAM a whole new meaning. Stay away. Wish I have found this site before I wasted my money.
March 22nd, 2010 at 9:33 pm
I have paid the dues required, after a a couple of days realized something is not right, tried to cancel and requested a refund but instead received an email that I can’t cancel. I have so far received the folder on how to start this business with a phone number to contact which we have tried to on numerous occasions with no success. This is going to be added to expensive lessons learned file.
March 22nd, 2010 at 7:06 pm
Dear Friends,
I have already paid my $197.00 plus $14.95 shipping and handling.I am working part-time at a public school as a part-time primary teacher. I really wanted to add to my low retirement income.I have talked to the coaches and they even offered me one on one coaching for an additional $200.00. I am very upset by the blogs here but, I blame myself for not researching before spending my hard earned money.

Thank you all for the information about this scam. I recently had surgery & now am unable to return to my job due to restrictions. I thought this would be the perfect job for me at home. The Better Business Bureau here in IN informed me to look up this site. You have saved me $197.00 plus $14.95 for S/H.
March 18th, 2010 at 11:13 pm
That is soo funny,because i received the same letter you did and a little sticky paper…Thank you guys….
March 18th, 2010 at 7:59 pm
I ordered the process orders for big companies and earn $5 for each one completed, which can be done in 2-3 minutes each for $75 per hour on average.
Instead Jennifer Johnson’s HomeJobPlacement.org sent me the EBay 341 page training manual. I have attempted to get them to send the ordered program instead for a week with no response at their support@hmejobplacement.org site. I am frustrated and will report them to the Federal Trade Commission and the Attorney General of our state.

Thanks for the information i also got a newspaper article from from Columbus,Ohio with no page# and no name with the Sally Vicker success story so i went to pch search&win.com and got all of these replies when i asked for “Auction listing specialist”and how to get trained. Give God the glory that you open my eye that it’s a SCAM!!!
Thank you!!!.thank you, thank you!!!!!!!

After opening an article on credit card debt for Aussie mum’s from facebook – yes, bloody facebook, I was confronted by “homejobplacement.org”
Anything where you see multitudes of “touchy feely” info, more than 3 testimonials with photo’s (most real testimonials will never have a full name, suburb AND photo) plus a whole stack of reasons for you to join only to ask you for money to “start up” is always a scam.
However, I wanted to believe as I am at the end of my rope working with 2 kids under 2.5yrs….
Thanks for this site!!
PS: Rulon, R – The guy in your example above has a new name on this site… Andrew Nelson – EXACT SAME PICTURE!!

I’m glad that I hadn’t made the attempt to give away my hard earned money. You have to be careful. With the way things are in today’s economy the blood suckers are out.
However, ask yourself, if you were able to pull it off, would you?
You have to respect the effort, even though it’s not right to take advantage of people in hard and trying times.
March 16th, 2010 at 9:40 am
Sure am glad to know that this is a TRUE SCAM! I have read the comments and am appalled at the amount of misinformation that is being projected in the mail I have received about this business. Are there ANY legitimate home business opportunities out there? Thanks for the heads up on this SCAM.

Thanks for all this valuable info, I was just thinking about signing up for this then decided to do some research.
March 15th, 2010 at 9:23 am
Thank goodness I listened to my mother and was thinking smart who would pay to get work.. Hope everyone reads this before they make a wrong decision ..

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!
THATS ALL I HAVE TO SAY. 200 DOLLARS ON MY POCKET WAS ABOUT TO FLY AWAY!!! CAN’T BELIEVE IT. GRACIAS.
March 12th, 2010 at 12:01 am
Thankyou for the heads up,I received a newspaper clipping in the mail saying that listing auctions on ebay was the best thing since roach spray.So since I’ve already fallen in the pit of work at home scams I decided to do some research this time.Im so glad I did.Again thankyou so much for the warning.
March 11th, 2010 at 3:24 pm
I thank God that I didn’t do it! I almost went ahead and input my credit card info, but I asked God to please let me feel peace if this was right for me, and after like 3 minutes asking God for peace, I started feeling sharp pain in my stomach. I was like, ok, so this is not a good sign. So, I have no clue how I made it to this page, and as soon as I started reading all these comments, im like, Thank God He stopped me from doing this. Take care everybody, and thanks to all who shared their comments, because they really do help.
March 11th, 2010 at 9:45 am
wow! almost signed up, but thank goodness i didnt! thanks so much for this info!!!
March 10th, 2010 at 12:30 pm
I checked BBB listings; no BBB approval for homejobplacement.org, whereas there ARE approvals for other sites for true telecommuting jobs, such as flexjobs…
Word to the wary; do your research first.
March 10th, 2010 at 12:21 am
regarding Jennifer Johnson “J” and her Home Job Placement online auction job . . . your first clue is the envelope used to mail the Columbus, Ohio “special report ad” . . . it has no return address!
March 9th, 2010 at 7:16 am
i was just about to drop $197 into “Jennifer Johnson’s” pocket. thanks to this website, sounds like i saved myself some money and a few headaches. if you read through homejobplacement.org whole spiel, and the end it says jennifer johnson is not a real person. they use that name to protect identities i guess. i saw “jennifer johnson’s” signature in the testimonial and thought this was the real deal. sounds like one big scam. i have a good job, this one seemed better. thankfully i read this website. thank you!
March 9th, 2010 at 5:24 am
Today I got an email saying that There were online jobs around my are. HOME JOB PLACEMENT!!! Then they asked me to put my zip code to see if they were jobs available. It said that they had only a few jobs left. I used to work as a sales men. so I was catching on to what ever Jennifer Johnson was saying. In sales we use numbers to make people hurry up to make decisions. for example “We only have 150 positions” So what there saying is hurry and dont think it twice. When they use testimonials, how do you know is a real testimonial. Testimonials are use to convince people with other people. Then the job that they want you to do is too simple. A Kid could do it. What you should ask your self is. Why would a company pay so much for such a easy job. Believe me guys if companies had easy jobs everybody would be working and there wouldn’t be any jobs. Thank you for informing us about this scam. God Bless!!
March 4th, 2010 at 9:36 pm
I found your site when i was looking to get in contact with this jennifer johnson. On reading and listening to her, i decided it was what i needed, i have been unsuccessful in acquiring a position because of my age and being out of the work force for some time. I borrowed the $197 ($215aud) and followed through with payment, i started to get suspicious when she wanted me to sign up for other things along the way.
When i finally got my confirmation for my payment, i had modules to complete and then i had a message to say i needed some code. That sent alarm bells off even more, so i tried to contact them and in trying to find them i found you. Thank you for your alerts, i notified my bank straight away and they have put a hold on the payment, but they need the payee to put a stop on it as well. I have emailed them and now have to sit and wait. I was desperate to make some money, i am separated from my husband and my mum has kindly allowed me to stay with her, so I think I just thought it would help us get me going in the right direction and back to supporting myself. How wrong can you be.
I hope other people read these warnings before they hand out their hard earned money and are not fooled so easily as I was.
March 4th, 2010 at 8:20 pm
I started out simply wanting to take surveys for a few extra dollars that would help me along. Somewhere along the way I paid to join up for this. Giving me the choice of hundreds of companies to choose from. Somehow my name got listed for this ‘work at home’ bulls#%@. Jennifer Johnson kept emailing me to ‘click on the link’. Most of them say the same rubbish, throwing pictures up of people who have had success.
These pictures, I believe are copied from some site containing loads of pictures on the net. Recently Jennifer sent me another link to click on and I stupidly joined up because it was supposed to be FREE -Ha. This guy comes up calling himself Chris Jackson, apparently not his real name, and all I had to do was set up the site (for free) and sit back and watch the dollars roll in- Ha. It cost me $140AUD in the end. I have sent emails asking/demanding my money back because they do say ’7 day money back guaranteed’-Ha. You set up these things and like Jennifer the money-grabbing-mongrel says “we have plenty of staff waiting to hear from you to assist in any way possible.
There is no one there. This is how they make their money. I live in Australia, but if I lived in America I would be contacting the FBI about such insidious behavior. It is a complete reversal of Robin Hood, here they steal from the poor and or struggling people, to line their rich silk purses. Something needs to be done to clear these people off the net.
March 4th, 2010 at 5:09 pm
I have been receiving this offer for a while and ignored it. Since i have been out of work for a while and growing desperate, i thought of checking it. As I listen to jennifer johnson, i thought could this be true. i realized that if it is too good to be true it is most likely a scam. It’s unfortunate that people prey on the already downtrodden to enrich themselves. You can never be wealthy doing that to people. By the way she also sends emails under jennifer johnsen.
Thank you for warning the vulnerable.
March 4th, 2010 at 12:43 pm
I received an envelope in the mail with no return address opened up the envelope and inside was a full page article about this Home Job Placement work from home business. It was about a lady named Sally Vickers that made tons of money from this business. And it stated that this was on ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, and USA Today. I was very interested in this until I did research on the internet. Thank God for the internet. I also think that anyone that has a positive response on this business could be from the people that are behind this scam and are trying to throw us off by writing these so called great experiences with this bogus company.
March 4th, 2010 at 11:13 am
I found this company on line. I was desperate to make some extra money. The company seemed legit. They ask you to pay $95 dollars to get started. They say that it is for their training tools. When i Received the e-book training packet it required you to read 14 chapters and take a test at the end of each chapter. All the info i read was about working on ebay. So i followed the advice and got no where. Then i Received a phone call and the person said that i really need to invest about 3000.00 dollars to make money. I knew then it was a scam. The company said they had a 60 day money back guarantee. Ya right!!!! I called day in and day out no response just lots of elevator music. So i e-mailed them. No response. I kept e-mailing over and over and over again no response. Finally they responded back to me,and it was conveniently past the 60 day refund point imagine that. I never responded back.
March 4th, 2010 at 11:12 am
I was thinking about trying this program as well until reviewed this site. I tried calling the company, 4 times on March 4th, 2010 from 10-noon, and amazingly enough I got a recording and was put on hold all 4 times! for about 10 mins and then disconnected. Audry I would love to know what No. your calling.
There is a special place in hell for these people!
March 3rd, 2010 at 11:12 pm
I have subscribed to Home Job Placement about 6 months ago and have been consistently making money for more than 5 months. I have had no issues so far and I never have a problem reaching customer service so am extremely surprised it has such a bad wrap. I make good money but definatley put a lot of time into this as well. Just wanted to share another side with everyone. I don’t feel it’s a scam. For me it has worked, and well.
March 3rd, 2010 at 3:53 pm
I get these work at home schemes daily in my e-mail. Working at home would be ideal for me, however, I do my research. When I saw the “F” rating on the BBB website, I searched for blogs on the company. Glad I did, this is yet another one for the trash box. Having this tool is a wonderful thing, Thanks to the producer and Thanks to all that blog here.
March 3rd, 2010 at 1:01 pm
My dad just received an envelope on the mail with no sender address containing a whole newspaper page add from Columbus Ohio with a little sticky note that says : You gotta see this…
Well, it turned out to be about Home Job Placement. Now, seems to me they’re doing pretty good scamming people since it cost a lot of money to run a full page add in any paper. Thank God for the internet! Otherwise, I’ll probably would fell for it being unemployed an expecting a new born. How the authorities let this fly over and over is beyond me.
Thanks to all for the heads up!
March 3rd, 2010 at 11:07 am
ABC News and Good Morning America should research these companies before they recommend them.
March 3rd, 2010 at 6:45 am
Thanks for all the info I too received the newspaper article in the mail and was about to start up but the page that you were to pay on was broken and nothing would load. Glad I found this listing before I kept trying.
March 2nd, 2010 at 4:34 pm
I came across this in an “article” in the Chicago Sentinel? about a women in my area…just 16 miles from where I live and I work in that town that’s what caught my eye…..almost fell for it myself. The last communication I received was for a free start up kit.
March 2nd, 2010 at 3:00 pm
Well i was one of the unfortunate to fall prey to Jennifer Johnson…I have 5 children all under the age of 9 and we all live on one income. I plan on school once the baby is older. However, i thought this might be great supplemental income for our growing family. My husband found this add on MTV’s the leak. So, i checked it out followed the steps, and got to a screen where you pay. Now, im no dummy, so i thought. I dont EVER do things like this…EVER. But, i saw where i needed to pay for shipping and handling which was $9.95.
I figure, ok. If it is a scam, i can handle knowing for $9.95. Well, they took out over $211 from our acct. Then you try and make a call and all you get is a run around. Please people, dont do it. Its a heartache, and another obstacle we have to climb out of. Stay away from this kinda crap. Get an education to work from home as a MT. Just dont feed into these people’s bull$hit! I dont know how jennifer johnson or any of these people can sleep at night knowing they are frauds!! And ripping off good people. As for me, back to the drawing board…
March 2nd, 2010 at 1:18 pm
Ouch! First I signed up for some survey program, Then got an email from Jennifer Johnson about this program. Like many of you I am a little down and out at this time and looking for a way to make some cash at home. Well, I got lured through the three pages and I even filled in all the info to order, hit submit and an error came up so I tried it again and same thing. I said? Oh Oh and went to my bank account and nothing. I have been checking for a few days now and I think I might have lucked out. If all of a sudden I get charged I am surly going to protest the charges. Thanks everyone and I wish everyone luck at finding real work at home someday
March 2nd, 2010 at 11:00 am
I am also unemployed and a mother of two small children and like many other unemployed people, desperate for money to pay bills and feed a family. When I got this in my email, I checked it out, but when I saw how much it costs, a red flag occurred to do some research on this first. Glad I did and saved me the money that I can’t afford to spend.
Here’s my “Pitch” of why I didn’t join and a little advise for people considering:
After working in a call center as a customer service rep for this type of work, it taught me a lesson to read the fine print or research first. The disclaimer did state that there is no guarantee for money being made and has no affiliates with the Apple, Microsoft and what other companies they were so called advertising. And I checked two different websites and the ads were the same and testimonials were the same. Big Big red flag….
For those that were unfortunate enough to join…did you know that you can call your cc company or bank and stop the payment, put in a dispute or cancel the cc? Don’t waste your time calling the company itself and speaking to a rude customer service person or a highly pitched salesperson that wants more of your money. You also might never get through, spend alot of your time wasted waiting for somebody or it’s a “so called” number…call your bank or cc company instead..after all they’re the ones that you authorized to shell over your money to these scam artists.
If you’re still considering after reading my post, then A- RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH!!! B- Read the FINE PRINT before joining. Afterall if you don’t research or read the fine print then it’s their gain and your loss.
Thanks for posting this website about these people. I hope more and more people will find this website to see who these people really are.
March 2nd, 2010 at 10:20 am
Thank you, Thank you, with so many people saying they made money with working at home, they almost got me! Thank goodness for your site and all the people that have told of their experiences.
March 1st, 2010 at 6:57 pm
saw the ad in my email n was appalled 2 see how long and winded the whole thing was, was really amused when they eventually got 2 the cost,thats when the red flag went up 4 me. l wonder though,cant these ass holes be prosecuted?
March 1st, 2010 at 5:15 pm
Thank you for saving the desperate like us. I too almost fell for the scam. But just as a cautious customer I tried to find if there is any light available on the truth of the situation. God Bless you for taking the trouble to guide us through this job hunting maze.
March 1st, 2010 at 4:19 pm
I almost fell for this scam until I researched it and saw this site. Now, I know it is a scam. I been ducked before and became wise to the scams. I am glad I am finished with the school of hard knocks and research. If I see a slue of testimonials, buyer beware and if they ask for money then it is not a Job but a scam.
March 1st, 2010 at 2:16 pm
I also received the newspaper article last week. First thing I noticed was it didn’t show the name of the paper and also I do not know anyone in Columbus Ohio, think they would be smart enough to make one up for the state you live in.
March 1st, 2010 at 1:18 pm
If you have fallen prey to this, go immediately to your CC company & stop the charge with a dispute. Once they have your CC # & code they can continue to take your money. Eventually CC companies will see the overwhelming disputes against them & may be able to stop them.
March 1st, 2010 at 12:42 pm
Thank You!!! People like us need to stick together and help good hard working people and put a stop to this S@$#…
March 1st, 2010 at 10:57 am
Before falling for this one, may I suggest pasting the terms & conditions into Word and reading the misc. section wherein you will discover the terms may be altered at any time without warning to the customer. That really says it all.
Once enough people have been duped, take the money and run.
February 28th, 2010 at 5:01 pm
I did fall for this scam but didn’t realize it until it was to late and after i payed it wanted me to buy some more things but i didn’t when it was over it didn’t tell me how to login or any thing it took me to ask.com. Please help me get my money back.
February 28th, 2010 at 9:57 am
wow… got the same newspaper article with the same yellow posted note…..went to the website and stopped when I saw how much you had to pay. RED FLAG!!!! I really hope these people get jail time. I feel sorry for those that got lured into this because I sure almost did.
February 27th, 2010 at 8:58 pm
Well, what a drag. I too received a copy of Will Work-At-Home Jobs Save us from the Recession and read the story about Sally Vickers and came too close to falling again for another scam. I have always wondered why I had to pay to work. I have said for a long time that if you want a fee, take it from my paycheck. There are no real jobs to go out to get anymore either, so you can’t blame them for lying to get our credit card money we will wind up filing bankruptcy on doing this garbage, and am grateful I found this and did my research as I have for a long time and have never found one legit at home internet do a do whatever job and make any money, it is always pay money, give me, give me, give me. This really sucks and those of you who are doing the scamming, YOU SUCK!!
February 27th, 2010 at 7:42 pm
S. Day,
I got the exact same newspaper article in the mail today. IT IS A SCAM! CHECK OUT THE TWO SIGHTS I LISTED ABOVE AND YOU WILL SEE THE EXACT SAME PICTURES USED FOR THEIR SUCCESS STORIES.
February 27th, 2010 at 7:36 pm
Please take a look at workathomerecruiters.com and HomeJobPlacement.net. Most if not all of the pictures of their so called success stories are exactly the same with the exact same quotes. Don’t spend your money.
February 27th, 2010 at 5:04 pm
I am so glad I didn’t enter my CC information! I had filled out the forms but when I got to the payment information I hesitated and decided to do more research. Thank God!!! Thank you for this wonderful website and saving me $200!
February 27th, 2010 at 4:40 pm
omg….what a scam….got the newpaper ad today in the mail with the post it note like it is some friend…….DON’T do it. It all sounded good until I saw that it costs $190. That’s when my “built in scam alarm” went off….
February 27th, 2010 at 2:16 pm
D Duncan I read your feedback on the newspaper article that is being mailed around. The adage if it looks to good to be true then its not, how true this is. I went to the site and it looks like another JJ or CB scam. Have you notice that when you click to leave the site another box comes up WAIT!!! don’t leave I’ll make you a better deal than the $47.00 that I said it was going to cost. Now you will only have to pay $17.00. And that is where they are pulling people in. Oh just $17.00 I can afford that they say to themselves. That is now what these scammers are doing. They don’t bother with the big figures but with the option of purchasing their whatever with the little figures. It’s hard times and people are not so much gullible as they are desperate I think. People out there just do your research before allowing the scumbags to get your hard earn money :)
And thank you D. Duncan for your feedback
February 27th, 2010 at 1:53 pm
Yes I do my research before doing anything on the internet and that is how I came to this website. Because of the Cathy Banks, Jennifer Johnson, Work @ Home Recruiters, Auction Work @ Home and the list goes on and on with the scams. This leads me to the next question. I received in the mail a full page newspaper ad with a note that reads You gotta see this… It sounds really cool! I thought you might be interested too. J
Visit HomeJobPlacement.net to see if there is any jobs in your area. Even though it looks like it came from a newspaper there are a lot of ways to scam people if the scammers want to do it. Any feedback from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
February 27th, 2010 at 12:23 pm
The bogus newspaper articles being sent out will make them tons of money as unwitting people will fall for it. If you get the article, you’ll see NO newspaper name & NO page number but people will want it to be true. “As seen on ABC, CBS, etc.” these medias have bigger issues than tracking down these crooks.
Of all the 168 postings here that I scanned I didn’t see even 1 person who was able to start the supposed earning process much less make one penny. How can people be so gullible?
February 27th, 2010 at 7:01 am
Your article is helping many people who have come across this scamming site. Please keep posting these scams here.Thank you very much.
February 27th, 2010 at 12:37 am
Thank you so much! I am glad that I did some research, and that you cared enough about others to warn them. You saved me countless regrets.
February 26th, 2010 at 6:55 pm
I’m so glad I found this and the same point that’s been made over and over again is you shouldn’t have to pay for a job. I’m a military guy and child support isn’t getting any easier and I’m learning part time jobs do require time, hard work (sometimes) maybe even flipping burgers lol. I’m in a tight spot and I’m just glad everything is online. The good, bad, and the ugly. I guess it’s back to getting a guard card and standing security again.
February 26th, 2010 at 4:49 pm
Kelly Richards, in Erie, PA??????? She’s supposed to be in Campti, LA, a little bitty back-in-the-woods town not too far from where I live. There is no such person in Campti, LA.
February 25th, 2010 at 10:48 pm
Not only are most business offers a scam, many lead to annoying callers like promoters of Herbalife disguised as something else. I had to get very aggressive with some of them.
And when you sign up for info they sell your info to lists agencies, legitimation people who get scammed on a business will end up getting when they dole out their money for sales leads.
A best just give out fake info to view some business offers or research some of the scam report sites like rip off report. The Internet has opened up a whole new arena of fraud and junk mail.
February 25th, 2010 at 9:36 pm
i just want to tell those people who out there didn’t get their money back from those scam website. all you need to do is just call your credit card company tell them the reason and ask them dispute the charge, and they will get your money back no time! Good luck! Thank you all for those very helpful information.
i want know if anybody out there have any idea about online data entry institute ? are they a scam too?
February 25th, 2010 at 6:59 pm
another close call
February 25th, 2010 at 3:42 pm
i was looking to do some home internet jobs which could help me to pay my debt so i applied to HEA (HOME EMPLOYMENT ASSOCIATION) then HOME JOB PLACEMENT responded to me via email WHICH I DIDN’T APPLY FOR.
in my email i clicked on website to see which jobs are there
Jennifer Johnson video will appear on your screen and shes going to help other people to earn $5 for per auction listing as a agent on ebay with company like apple izod ck microsoft compaq i read whole article so i have to pay $197 for auction listing agent certified program
so i was looking how to pay them $197 +$14.95 s&h but one thing was keep telling me that do a search on this before paying so i came through this reveiw of all this scam of home job placement then i realized that i applied on HEA which is not them but somebody else hea has good jobs for $100.00 a week or $300.00 a week its depends on your ability what you can do
so my friend my advise to you is do research on those companies on google before paying them your hard earned money to frauds think twice what ever jobs you do they pay you not you have to pay for jobs think twice and research them
February 24th, 2010 at 11:11 pm
I think it is so funny when people buy into things that cost anywhere from $2-$1000…they think they can turn it into $100k/yr..has there ever been anything like that outside of Vegas? If anybody knows anything about internet biz it generally takes around $6,000 to even get started (thats low end) with websites to hosting to SEO tools and marketing campaigns..the only things you people want to do is buy a business in a box and watch the checks roll in..well sorry no business works that way..if you are serious about internet business but have no idea what to do find a reputable coaching company and expect to pay about $6,000-$10,000, just make sure you can get some kind of guarantee for your investment..
February 24th, 2010 at 10:28 am
Thank God for the scam research. It’s always good to research before we give our credit card numbers to anybody.Just like they say if it sounds to good to be true 100% of the time it’s a SCAM.
February 24th, 2010 at 9:45 am
Thanks everyone, I’ve read every post and I am so disappointed. I have been deliberating over this “home job placement” opportunity for a few days after clicking a link on Facebook. I am so desperate for a decent income…any income, I was almost willing to sacrifice part of my next weeks rent believing I would make the money back in a few days. I even contacted “jennifer johnson” via the contact us link on the website telling them this. They replied quickly but made no reference to the questions I asked, just gave me a link to read more testimonials on a site which looked like a news site. This prompted me to do some more research, here I am sad & angry that I got my hopes up to maybe finally get out of this mess I’m in and can’t believe I almost dropped myself in it further. I am sure whoever is running this scam doesn’t care that I could have ended up on the street.
February 24th, 2010 at 2:06 am
I guess it’s entertaining to see side by side comparisons of these sites recycling the same templates and whatnot…but I find it incredibly hard to believe that anyone would:
1) Think anything like this (pay money to do an at-home course which promises incredibly suspicious amounts of profit) is anything BUT a scam
2) Even if they actually thought it was remotely legit, how does someone buy into this WITHOUT doing basic research?
I mean, it’s nice to dream and fantasize, but a fool and his/her money…
I just honestly don’t comprehend diving head first into something like this. Or any advertising really, but some miracle money program with fanciful claims? Cmon…

I was thinking of signing up for this program (Home Job Placement). Was about to fill out the application and got a popup. Said they had researched 200 of these scams and only 3 out of the 200 were legit. I decided to research and found your website. Thank you!!!!
It is a shame that this country has come to this. This was a great country at one time, but now it a country of thieves praying on innocent people.
I’m not an overly religious person, but this country better wakeup and return to God. Also, remember that this is not the only problem that this country is faced with. I believe that we are doomed unless we all return to praising the Lord Almighty.
February 23rd, 2010 at 5:43 pm
Thank you everyone for revealing that this site is a SCAM!
I just the newspaper article in the mail today and was really excited about joining as I have been trying to find something legitimate to work from home for so long and I got tired of getting scammed and started to research every opportunity I came across. Thank God for sites like these! Youi guys really help alot of people save money and save themselves from getting scammed. Somebody needs to stop these people!

I looked up Kelly Richards in Erie, PA. There isn’t anyone by that name that lives in the area. No one is listed in the phone book or anywhere else that lives in Erie, pa. As a matter of fact there is no one with that name. I don’t know if this is a scam but Erie, PA does not have a Channel 6 News station. I would not do this.
February 23rd, 2010 at 11:47 am
How is this legal? Why isn’t there a class action law suit against them?
February 23rd, 2010 at 2:04 am
While I do agree that 99.9% of all these web based companies are scams. What some of you are saying is not true. If you are starting your own own business which is what most of these web based companies are saying they are doing is getting you to start your own business than yes you do need to spend your own money. If you think you can start your own business for free and than just start making money just like that. You are all fools. I have ran very successful businesses for several years now and I will tell ya none of them were free. Now if you are working for someone and it is not your business and you are not a partner in that business. Than yes for sure you do NOT ever put money into that company for any reason unless you feel you need or want too for your own personal reasons. Anyways that’s just my 2 cents. Thanks

All i can say any kind of work at home are scams, i tried a lot because i want some extra money in my pocket instead they got money from me. I’m paying them but after that you cannot access their system. so what is that? it’s clear they want our money that’s it.
February 22nd, 2010 at 9:39 pm
My application was denied. I think it may have to do with the fact that I turned in 2 complaints before. One
was with a company that advertised for payment of just 1.99. When I looked at my bank statement there was a charge for 149.00. I called the number(it is always listed on your statement) and when the guy answered , I asked why he had charged me for anything. He went on to say that I had applied for work from home.
I told him I had not done that and demanded a refund of my money. He said he could not refund it because the 30 days was up. I had not done that. How he got my info was more than I could understand. No, no, no. I told him I would put his name on everything I could think of—-FBI, BBB,
etc. Then I called my bank (Chase) and reported the problem. They said they would send me a form for disputation and immediately put a stop on the payment.
The best thing to do with so-called opportunities like this is to use a credit card. Then you can have a better chance of recouping your money from any scams like this. Isn’t it a pity that crooks like this exist. They should all be on an island—–then they scam each other to their hearts content!
February 20th, 2010 at 10:40 pm
Thanks for the info… that was a close call!
February 20th, 2010 at 8:29 pm
These thieves have stopped using .com and .org and are now using .net. Guess they got too much negative publicity or threats on the former.Dont get suckered guys. Neither ebay or any of the other companies like microsoft,compaq,apple,izod or calvin klein have heard of them.l have called to confirm.
February 20th, 2010 at 12:08 am
Noticed a few people disputing whether or not this offer is real, primarily on the basis that very few of the comments were from people who actually tried the product (whatever it is) for any extended period of time. Well…
Chuck, on Jan. 23, 2010, said, “…I also got a letter in the mail that looked like a full page newspaper article Titled will work…”
I had suspicions when I got to the sight, disappointingly sighed when I saw the fee, and had more or less no doubt of the merits of this “business” when I started reading these posts, however… …Ya’ see, I got the exact same letter, no return address on it, with a seemingly legitimate newspaper article inside it. The note is written in real ink, and the article (not to mention webpage) uses quite a few well known names (apparently quite illegally). However, my copy of the “newspaper” is dated Feb. 1. How odd… Of course, true to their tendency of preying upon the fearful and desperate, they have report on the back side illustrating how terrible the markets are doing.
What I really want to know is how the Hell they got my address and name?! I read one post that stated they jacked his email account, how do I know they won’t do that to me? Don’t give these guys ANYTHING! Complete scam! If they’re such an amazing program, I don’t imagine they’d have to [poorly] fabricate newspapers to advertise themselves. Stay sharp.

“There’s A Sucker Born Every Day”
P. T. Barnum (Barnum & Bailey Circus)
I opened an envelope that I received in the mail today that was addressed to me with no return address. Now to most people that would not be unusual but I was skeptical because it appeared to be hand addressed.
Anyway, I opened the envelope and unfolded one page from what appeared to be a full page from a newspaper in Columbus Ohio featuring a very detailed article (front & back) about Work-AT-Home-Jobs. Attached to this page was a yellow sticky note with what appeared to be a handwritten note to me letting me know that this might be something I would probably be interested in. It was signed “J”, not someones name….just “J”
After comparing the writing on the envelope and the note I realized they were not handwritten, but a computer generated font in script. Right away I suspected something wrong and I knew this was not from someone who knew me personally, but being unemployed … I read on!
After a wole lot of hype abouut how much money I could make as an Auction Listing Specialist, I decided to go to the website and start the sign up process. Of course I found out that I needed to give them $197 first in order to take a course that was the answer to making lots of money (as much as $6500 a month) by simply placing listings on eBay for companies like Microsoft, Compaq, IZOD, Calvin Klein & Apple.
I’ve been burnt by so called work at home offers before, so I decided to research the website they directed me to, only to find out that there are others that look strangely similar.
They are:
HomeJobPlacement.org
HomeJobPlacement.com
…..different sites…..same scams !!!
If I could give advice to anyone wanting to work at home, it would be to be very aware that there are people in this world that think nothing about taking your money when you need it most and giving you nothing in return.
Quite simply….they’re nothing more than a theif !
Don’t let them rob YOU!
February 19th, 2010 at 6:31 pm
I received in my mail today a full page only of a newspaper called Stock Report from Columbus, Ohio. In said paper was an adv. from HomeJobPlacement.net quoting a Ms Sally Vickers telling how she is making more money from home than at the job she had before being laid off. After checking out the website I found out that the whole thing is a SCAM from your website listed along it. Thanks very much for the timely tip…………………….Sincerely Jim…………….
February 19th, 2010 at 12:28 pm
I have learned if they want you to pay money then 9 times out of 10 it is a scam. Also if you are going to make as much money as they are saying you are going to make, then they should be able to wait and get the money out of your, up to $75 an hour, paycheck. Because remember, you are going to get paid immediately so why can’t they wait.
I tell you what, it is easy to get draw into these scams. We all wish we had more then what we have. A lot of us are desperate and in need of fast help and these web sites sound good and in our minds we want it to be true. They always draw me in, but once I see that their is a fee then this is when I google to see if it is a legit business. Because I have no money to just give away.
February 19th, 2010 at 6:07 am
Hi,
I, like many others are currently out of work. I’m a part-time student and full-time mum of 2 toddlers. Times are tough and desperate, but there’s always a few minutes for research.
I found Jennifer Johnson’s “read all about it” tacked onto Facebook of all places, and only god knows how many people have been sucked in from there.
Once this is submitted I am off to Facebook to make my own add and hopefully save hundreds of people from making the mistake I nearly made.
I truely hope that everyone who has paid gets every hard earned cent that is owed them, and the low down dogs that are behind this get whats coming!!!
Thank you
February 19th, 2010 at 1:43 am
Also, if you just typed in the link australiantimesdailynews.com/
This website doesn’t have a single thing on it!!!!
February 19th, 2010 at 1:42 am
The website below is the link I got from facebook…
australiantimesdailynews.com/tipsweekly/?t202id=33538&t202kw=msau-7
Those scammers even prepare links like that location specific…The link above are for people who are in Perth Western Australia.
I am so glad that I listened to my husband and googled this company before paying the $197. I was THAT close to losing that money…
For facebookers, please be careful too! They are also advertising on facebook now!
February 18th, 2010 at 9:52 pm
I would like to say thank you for saving me $197.00. I received this letter in the mail today with no return info. on it and a newspaper inside with a post it saying for me to try J. I was skeptical from the envelope. I read the paper went to the website read it all then I googled bbb and the site tried to stop me, then I put it at the bottom of my page went to bbb, but it didn’t show HOMEJOBPLACEMENT .NET I talked to my husband he was like they are scams I called my sister she was like if they want money it’s a scam you don’t pay for a real job they pay you then, Thank GOD I typed in Is home job placement.net a scam?and I got this site I would have been hoodwinked once again I am paralyzed and receive disability . I can’t afford it so why give my money away to these SCAMMERS thanks, almost gullible
February 18th, 2010 at 8:23 pm
I got a fake newspaper in the mail and checked it out. Looks like a scam to me, closed the web page right away.
I agree POND SCUM Digested (stuff stuck to the bottom).
February 18th, 2010 at 3:40 pm
Thank God I took the time to read the whole pitch on that website. Then I checked my bank account and found out I did not have the 197 until my final payday tomorrow. So I decided to check it out and found this review. I just lost my job Tuesday and I’m in that panic mode that everyone feels. I don’t need to lose what little income I have. Thanks for telling us desperate panic stricken people to wake up and smell the coffee.
February 18th, 2010 at 10:07 am
It is so sad that in these hard times, pond scum like Jennifer Johnson and her cohorts prey on good people grasping at any job out there. With so few jobs to go around and so little money, for most it’s like dangling a carrot in front of a starving donkey. Please please read all the fine print and research any company that sounds too good to be true, 99% of the time it is. I too am in the ranks of the unemployed and I too feel the panic and desperation these times bring. Thank your lucky stars there are sites like this one to slap a little reality back into the doe eyed glamor portrayed buy those leeches!
February 18th, 2010 at 10:04 am
Thanks to everyone that has posted here. I have read everyone’s comments and I am NOT going to get scammed on this one.
Again Thanks again
February 17th, 2010 at 6:35 pm
oh yeah..the paper that has the cancellation number on it also states “if you dispute any charges with you bank, you will be reported to the Internet consumer blacklist badcustomer.com which will result in member merchants blocking you from making future purchases online”..i say whatever! call & cancel your membership, & dispute the charges as well, & file a complaint!
February 17th, 2010 at 6:31 pm
The correct number to call & cancel your membership is 1-866-261-5415..I received my kit today, & am calling to get my refund. I ran across the page trying to find out how to get back to the website to complete the 10-step course & it’s nowhere to be found!!
February 17th, 2010 at 1:24 pm
Wow,I almost fell for it!! I’m unemployed and desperate, thanks for the info.
February 16th, 2010 at 3:50 pm
I, too, am desperate and almost got scammed by “Jennifer Johnson”; however, the more I read, the more I felt nauseated, especially after reading about this supposedly “free” service on CareerBuilder.com, no less. I thank God that I gathered my wits about me, stopped reading and Googled the name. I’ll figure out how to sell on E-Bay myself, and hopefully I’ll make a few bucks the honest and old-fashioned way. Scammers are SCUM.
February 15th, 2010 at 10:12 pm
unemployed desperate people fall prey to predators not because they are stupid, but because these scammers give them HOPE, where there is none, then take them to the cleaners. Beware, so-called jennifer johnson appears on 2 other sites MyProfitSite, and appsomatic.. and then she gets you to draw people to your website VIA Clicks2you.com… all are scams meant to lead you further and further into giving them money. Then the phone calls start and asking for your credit card number to jump start your BUSINESS… and they call, and call a different person every time trying to get your money. I am trying to work with Chase now to get my money back..
February 15th, 2010 at 12:21 pm
If anyone knows about any lawsuits against this website let me know so i can join BzDs1 @ hotmail.com
February 15th, 2010 at 11:19 am
I can’t believe that “Good Morning America” has this site promoted on their web site. If it is a scam you would think that they have checked it out to the fullest. No one has that kind of money to lose. Since people here have said that they have lost their hard earned $ I won’t even think about it. Thanks.
February 15th, 2010 at 8:56 am
Thank you so much for the info. I received an e-mail this morning from Home Job Placement the 1st thing I did was to Google their name and rep’s name Jennifer Johnson . Funny how it’s such a generic name . I’m sure that makes it much harder to prosecute . She mine as well call herself Jane Doe .
I already sell on e-bay and have inquired about drop-shippers and how exactly you go about doing so that makes the most out of your time . Thanks Shannon

sorry on type error on the last comment regarding the zip code 44256 not 544256
February 14th, 2010 at 1:31 pm
Well here we go again .Can somebody please let us know were the business THE PROFESSIONAL LEARING INSTITUTE is located at. we have this address 3593 Medina Road, Suite 307 Medina, Ohio 544256. Is this IN FACT the REAL address for this “so called legiment business”? Thank you
February 14th, 2010 at 12:21 pm
Thank you all for saving me. I was just about to throw Jennifer $197 that I couldn’t afford in the first place. I’m very grateful for your comments.
February 12th, 2010 at 6:28 pm
I received Jen Johnson’s email pitch about the Home Job Placement. Before I even started to apply, I said check for complaints because buyer beware. Sure enough, I read all these complaints. We should all bombard dateline, and/or 20/20 about these scams taking advantage to all the people desperate for a job.
February 12th, 2010 at 3:14 pm
For once I listened to my husband and I am so glad! I showed him the email and was getting ready to signup,and he said to Google and see it there were any comments.
Thank you for the information….I never read one blog that said the program was good and worked only they got back their refund when they called…
February 10th, 2010 at 9:51 pm
I got the email and payed by c c . I don’t know how but when I checked on google saw only good reports with
a separate site for support etc, but when I tried to go back to do the work the next day could not. I then did more research and found this site, contacted the c c company, got card stopped and am now waiting for the Fraud dept to contact me to get payment reversed. Time that these people like Jennifer Johnson are arrested for Fraud
February 10th, 2010 at 7:36 pm
Desperate people do desperate things. I almost fell for this but decided to google it first . Fortunately I came across this website. As the saying goes, If it sounds to good to be true it probably isn’t. I feel badly for all the people who were scammed. Hopefully others will research the program before signing on.
February 10th, 2010 at 6:10 pm
Hi please,I am really concerned about this program. can someone, who tried it before, explain to me how it works, and if really worth to pay for it. Unfortunately, I am in need of this kind of job to spend time with my kids! Do you have an answer???
February 9th, 2010 at 12:27 pm
Also as another tip, about that so-called “Sally Vickers” person mentioned in the ad, you will have about as easy a time finding information on her as you will researching a person with a name like “Jennifer Johnson”. Sounds made up? SURE IS =(
February 9th, 2010 at 12:22 pm
Chuck, I got that EXACT SAME NEWSPAPER ad in the mail that you did! I held onto it for the longest time out of desperation. I am unemployed, have been for over a year now. I just had a baby last November, and have been SO frustrated trying to find work. I apply and apply and it’s the same everywhere. I feel so terrible for everyone that is suffering because of people that don’t fear the Lord. My best advice for those of you that have been taken advantage of, post as many comments as you can ABSOLUTELY EVERYWHERE that you possibly can. If we all band together and take care of one another, this evil will be rebuked. I pray that God avenges and acts out on EVERYONES behalf that have been wronged. May He bless you and your families.
February 7th, 2010 at 1:53 am
When I see the home job placement website I became excited thinking that I can make good money staying at home. But normally I do not believe in such a easy way of earning money. So I decided to research of this first and I thank you to let me know that it is really a fraud like others.
February 6th, 2010 at 10:20 am
THANK YOU!!!!
I’m from Australia, and when I came across this home job placement website I was so excited thinking I’m going to get rich in a month! I noticed that it was an American website because in Australia we use post code rather than zip code. I was ready to submit my payment when I decided to research a little about this so called work from home and became a stuffed with cash website, and for my good FORTUNE i found your site. Thank you.
February 4th, 2010 at 6:31 pm
Its funny that I received a letter in the mail today with no return address which has a big clip page from newspaper from Columbus, Ohio Title ” Will Work-At-Home Jobs save Us From The Recession”, Story about people making up to 500+ a day and Sally Vickers was laid off and now she making over 6500+ a month, story sound great however thanks to all of you leaving a response which also have save me 200 bucks which I don’t have and every check I get from Unemployment put food on my family table. You all are right, why pay employer to work, they pay you to work.
February 3rd, 2010 at 1:29 pm
I do not believe that there is a site that you can earn a decent income on the internet without spending a enormous amounts of $$$. I also believe that when something states that it is free then it should cost “O” dollars, not just shipping or only 197 after 7 days, but “O” dollars, I get so frustrated when it says free and ask for a credit card info, be sure you always read the terms and conditions this is very important and a lot of hidden info in there. you are not going to get wealthy on the internet…
February 2nd, 2010 at 6:33 pm
I ALMOST FELL FOR IT!!!! What was a light-bulb for me was when I filled out the application and got to the part where you put in your credit-card info, I hit the “Back” button because I was feeling apprehensive, and suddenly….the price went down to $187!!! That was my “red flag”.
February 2nd, 2010 at 4:17 pm
I became a victim of Jennifer Johnson several weeks ago. To read her add; they were simply looking for people to “list” articles on eBay. Little did I know, nor did she advertise, that you had to be an eBay dealer. I got a hint that something was wrong when I received my official training material…….setting up an eBay account and doing your own marketing. I called Jennifer and told her that her add was deceptive and did not portray what the job really was……I was just looking to list items for auction; NOTHING else. I asked for my refund and am still waiting!!!
February 2nd, 2010 at 3:45 pm
I knew this thing was a scam also because its a duplicated site just like Cathy Banks’s site was. There are 2 ways of making money online affiliate marketing or MLM the only thing that matters is how you market whatever you are selling a lot of programs really do work they are just being marketed wrong you have to get the training you need to be successful in internet marketing.
February 1st, 2010 at 3:58 pm
I typed in nothing on the Jennifer Johnston website and hit enter. The page flashed that there were jobs in my area What area is that? If a website or offer has a time limit IE 5 minutes or 10 minutes and / or they tell you there are only a certain amount of positions available, then it’s a SCAM. Why would a company not want to collect all it could or sell as many as they can? Hope this helps. Do your research. These people are praying on the desperation of good people….
January 31st, 2010 at 7:28 pm
Hi would like to know if there are any Auction Listing Specialist positions open in my area which is the Jackson, Tenn. area and how can I get a position? THANKS VERY MUCH…….
January 30th, 2010 at 5:56 pm
Thank you all, for your sincere words.
May God bless those of you who are still looking for work and those of you who were taken by these scam artists!
January 30th, 2010 at 12:09 pm
i just signed up and paid by c.c I tried to call and cancel the phone# for customer service 866 251 5415 is disconnected Out of work for a year 69 years old-broke what a scam What has happened to the US to allow people to be legally robbed I could cry like a little child-Thank you home job placement hans
January 29th, 2010 at 10:08 pm
WOW i can’t believe i was actually thinking of giving these scammers my money.
January 28th, 2010 at 11:18 pm
I just wanted to say thank you so very much for this information, I was just contemplating getting this program and just to let you all know they are now under yet another name, Home job placement.net and yes, they are still using some of the same photos and statements as you have here, so glad I found your site, cause I truly don’t have the money to be wasting on Scams.
January 28th, 2010 at 11:26 am
Is anyone working for one and are there any legitimate work at home ( for Money) on line possibilities out there or are they all scams??
January 26th, 2010 at 9:07 am
We got a full newspaper page ad that looks like a well known publication. It is really a disguised ad with a fake sticky note that read “Mario, You gotta see this…It sounds really cool! I thought you might be interested too. J.” The note is obviously printed by a printer and not by hand. There is no return address on the envelope, all it says it was mailed from zip code 92799. All the signs of junk mail and all the signs of a scam inside the envelope. Don’t fall for this scam. As always we remind you that you should never pay a company to give you a job. This company is a SCAM.
January 25th, 2010 at 3:10 pm
I got that piece of newspaper in the mail and I almost joined until I checked on some of the comments that other people were saying. This was only going to cost me $197 dollars and No more fees up front .Well I did not go for it so I’m sticking to mailing letters.

I have tried some “work at home” stuff before, and they are all scams. This one I haven’t come across. Its a new way that the Home Job Placement is reeling in the gullible customers.
If one day you receive in the mail a envelope with no return address. That’s a red flag right there. Next in the envelope will be a newspaper, it looks really convincing, but you can’t find the article on any sites. Also in the article it says they have helped over 16,493 people. Why would a company that is supposed to help people not have more people that have done it? Also, If you type in several different zipcodes, they have the same # of available positions. Hmmm
My last point is that any company that wants to help you they won’t ask you to pay almost $200 up front. It should be when you start making money then you have to pay them out of your profits.
January 23rd, 2010 at 9:28 pm
After reading this sales pitch about this auction thing I knew it was a scam, I just had to read your site to see what you had to say. People need to not act on emotion alone. Do your research.
January 23rd, 2010 at 4:00 pm
WELL FOLKS , I ORDERED THE COURSE TWICE, IT NEVER CAME THAN THESE A-HOLES, (THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE) TOOK IT ONE MORE STEP , SAYING THEY WANT TO TRAIN ME ONE ON ONE FOR”FREE” BUT AT THE END OF TRAINING HAVE TO WRITE A SUCCESS STORY. THAN HANDED THE PHONE FROM ONE TO ANOTHER MAKING MY HUSBAND GET ON THE PHONE ASKING HIM IF HE WAS A NEGATIVE FORCE IN MY LIFE( MEANING IF HE DID NOT GIVE ME THE MONEY OR LET ME TAKE THE MONEY, IT WAS PROOF HE WANTED ME TOO FAIL) THAN SOME STUPID B**CH GETS ON THE PHONE SAYING WELL IT MAY BE A LITTLE TOO AGGRESSIVE , KEPT REPEATING IT BUT NOT GETTING THE FACT I WAS NOT GIVING HER A DIME.WHEN I ASKED FOR MY COURSE HE CHANGED THE TOPIC WHEN I ASKED WHY MY HUSBAND HAD TOO BE IN THE ROOM, THE TWO A-HOLES SAID MY COMPANY LOOKS AT MARRIAGE LIKE A BUSINESS, MY HUSBAND OWN’S 10 SALONS WITHIN N.Y.C, SO I THINK HE KNOWS ABOUT BUSINESS AND HE ALSO KNOWS THE LAW . SO GUESS WHAT, JENN JOHNSON FBI AND FRAUD DEPARTMENT AND CHASE ARE COMING FOR YOU. HA HA , HAVE FUN IN JAIL.
January 23rd, 2010 at 1:53 pm
I got an email for this from traffic swarm. I am done with them! If you use traffic swarm tell them to go F them self
And tell them its because they are spamming con artist.
I also got a letter in the mail that looked like a full page newspaper article Titled will work at home jobs save us from the recession.with a yellow post it note on it that said (chuck you gotta see this it sounds really cool I thought you might be interested too. And AS SEEN ON: ABC CBS CNN MSNBC USA TODAY with their logos on the paper. It looked like it was legit. Someone needs to stop this scam now. We cant let them spend stolen money to extend their reach and screw more people.
January 23rd, 2010 at 1:11 pm
I knew it was to good to be true! I always search to see what others are saying about home biz opps before I get scammed and almost never spend any money unless a lot of people say good things about it. I would NEVER send the bastards $197. Thank You for this website! I know you have saved people a lot of money and stress.
January 23rd, 2010 at 11:05 am
All I can say is THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! When I saw that the only way you can pay by credit card I IMMEDIATELY back out of it. Have you never notice you can only pay by credit card to these SCAMMERS! You can never send a Check or Money Order. Too me, THAT’S A WARNING BELL GOING OFF IN MY HEAD RIGHT THERE!

January 23rd, 2010 at 4:59 am
I would expect a legitimate operation who simply wanted your labour to train you and then take a cut of your payment cheque. If the applicant was desperate and and their financial world was rapidly caving in, how are they going to raise the $139 dollars needed for the “training course”? Smells too much like somebody being paid for nothing and raking it in. No thanks!
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:42 pm
Whenever you get a offer that sounds to good to be true ALWAYS google the offer followed by the word scam that is how I found this site it will save you a lot of headaches not to mention money.
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:38 pm
I too was almost scammed out of desperation for income until the $197.00 payment box popped up. Knowing that i only have $217.00 in my account, I decided to research the name Home Job Placement and found this site. Thanks for helping me realize that it is a scam. Thanks to sites like yours, and people that have been scammed for being able to admit it and keep others from falling prey to the same scams.

Also, if you put this on your credit card, try once with the website to get it back. Then call the credit card company itself. They will help you get back the money by reversing the charges to the scammers.

There are no “work at home” jobs where you don’t have to sell. If you want to work at home, you’ll have to find a real job, then negotiate working from home. Don’t expect to find it on the internet. Period.
And never ever ever ever respond to an e-mail from someone you do not know trying to sell you something. Ever. Clear enough?
For those of you wondering where the “real” work from home opportunities are, you might as well just give ol’ Jennifer Johnson your money, because eventually you’ll be giving it to someone.
January 19th, 2010 at 2:30 pm
Jennifer Johnson Home Job Placement is a fraud. They got me for over $300.00 and now they refuse to refund my money.
January 19th, 2010 at 1:59 pm
I fell for the crap. I filled out the personal information with credit card info and hit the submit button. I got an error message that stated; Please re-verify your state address and re-enter it. Did that six times, then I gave up. The I check with my Credit Card account and they ding my account 6 times for $211.95.
Here is their reply to my complaint:
Hello,
Thank you for your e-mail. We apologize for the inconvenience. Our systems indicate one transaction that didn’t process due to Zipcode/Postal not matching the billing address.
January 19th, 2010 at 12:20 pm
Almost got me don’t do it, do your homework first
January 18th, 2010 at 5:57 pm
Im soo happy i did some more research before i pulled out that credit card.whenever site tries to rush you into signing up saying you only have 10 minutes left for this offer an a ALARM should go off in your head!! just because the link might be on some legitimate website those not mean anything. thanks again ppl!

In the days of yore these people were referred to as “con artists”. Unfortunately the Internet has become a clearing house for these types. Just remember “advertising sells words, not products.” These people only want access to your bank account so they can help themselves. To be on the safe side never pay for a job. That is simply counter intuitive and make sure any payment on the Internet is done through a separate account that contains only the amount of money needed for the sale. That way they don’t have access to all of your funds.
January 17th, 2010 at 5:47 pm
I came across a site that i wanted on and i ended up paying more than what they told me i was gonna have to pay. when i called them up they stated the contracts states this and there fore i cannot get my money back. it didn’t. i contacted my back and within 24 hours the money was back in my account and the bank disputed this. i bank with chase bank. i highly recommend this bank as they unlike alot of others are good to me and my human mistakes. I STRONGLY ADVISE THAT IF A SCAM COMES BY YOU AND YOU FALL FOR IT, AND THEY GIVE YOU THE RUN AROUND, CONTACT YOUR BANK IMMEDIATELY. LET THEM KNWO WHAT HAPPENED. AND USUALLY THEY WILL WORK WITH YOU OR LET YOU KNWO HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. OR SIMPLY TELL THEM YOU DID NOT AUTHORIZE THIS TRANSACTION AND GET A NEW CARD. ONCE THESE SCAMMERS GET YOUR INFO. THERE ISN’T ANYTHING STATING THEY CAN’T AND WONT ROB U FURTHER. i am glad i did further research. these quick easy big money making online programs are always scams it seems. i have come to also learn that there are legit ways to make money from home using your phone and internet. but it is never that easy of work. i have been working from home for going on 3 years. its hard work but it’s paying teh bills. no legit money is easy to make. you have to earn it. unless your in the ghetto and sell drugs.
January 15th, 2010 at 9:10 pm
I am so glad I found this website before losing my money and being ripped off. How can these people think they can get away with this? Doesn’t somebody arrest them or something?
January 14th, 2010 at 10:37 pm
I was almost typing in my cards information before I was like I should see if this is a scam and everyone tells me that you shouldn’t have to pay for your job so THANKS TO THIS SITE AND ALL OF THE COMMENTS me and my wallet thanks all of you.
January 11th, 2010 at 5:11 pm
I couldn’t believe on researching the Home Job Placement ad starring our very own Jennifer Johnson, that I came up with this wonderful website and the many people who shared their ‘scammed’ experiences.
It is a very sick philosophy that people buy into that they must pay anything in order to work. After reading Johnson’s long-winded spiel, I went out on my porch for a smoke, and the first question I asked was, “why would you have to pay to work? I didn’t have to pay my new employer after our interview to work for his company back in 2002.” It’s a shame, though, because of our horrendous economy, over-the-top unemployment and feelings of despair/hopelessness that there aren’t legitimate work-at-home jobs for those that truly need them.
I lost everything in 2008 when I lost my job…my home, my car and my self-esteem because I cannot seem to procure a job even flipping burgers.
The sites that say to “beware of scams and only 2 researched are legit”, is also a crock, in my opinion. Late in Oct. 2008, the supposedly legit ‘paid surveys’ jobs scammed me out of $20. There were no surveys daily ‘that I qualified for’ and the ones I did (a long and tedious process) only paid out $2.00 and it wasn’t into my account!
A good question someone on here posed: are there truly any good work-at-home-on-your-computer jobs in existence?
Bless you all for your comments and here’s hoping people will do research on Johnson et al before throwing away money they really don’t have. This also includes “Paid Surveys” sites. Please, people. Please look into everything before submitting a credit card number. Please.
January 9th, 2010 at 10:55 pm
I’m always thankful for comments and/or warnings from others. I research EVERYTHING before I buy anything online. However, I do have to agree with what appears to be only two intelligent people. Just because you went off half-cocked and paid for something BEFORE researching it, or BEFORE READING THE FINE PRINT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE AD, and from the sounds of it, didn’t even attempt the program/training…doesn’t mean its a scam. You don’t get something for nothing people.
We live in a horrible world with horrible people that WILL screw you over the first chance they get. So enough with the victim crap. You can’t just sit at home, typing on the computer all day and expect to have your financial problems resolved…not gonna happen. We pay a price for everything in this life, sometimes its financial and sometimes its paid in other ways.
There are a couple of really old sayings that bear mentioning here: “Caveat Emptor” means “Let The Buyer Beware” and “Believe only half of what you SEE and NONE of what you hear.”
In this case, I believe some unsuspecting people who never bothered to do any research OR any of the training or work have suddenly decided they’ve been scammed. I am sorry for those people who were already in dire straits with a family to take care of. However, for some reason we’ve all evolved (more like de-volved) into a bunch of people that refuse to take any responsibility for the poor choices they make.
I may or may not buy into “Jennifer Johnson’s” program. Haven’t finished REAL research such as checking out this site, other complaint sites, contacting eBay, vendors mentioned in the ad and calling HJP to see what kind of feel I get from them.
A side note…I work at a horrible job in a call center…the most stressful and mind-numbing work. So I’m ALWAYS looking for something better. The company I work for is in the Financial Services industry, which means I’m VERY familiar with federal banking regulations. I’m not sure if I understand why no one seems to be able to get their money back????
Banking regulations state that your bank or credit card company is required to accept your dispute AND investigate it. I cannot tell you how many times I have filed disputes with MY bank (and it’s not my employer) who provided me with a provisional credit of the disputed amount (once I completed the required, one-page dispute form) and investigated. NOT ONCE have they ever reversed a credit. Every time they found that either the merchant I disputed didn’t argue the point, OR my dispute was valid based on things like…I couldn’t contact the company, they wouldn’t refund me, they were a “scam”, etc. It’s THAT SIMPLE, people.
My way of thinking about “opportunities” that sound to good to be true and I STILL fall for them? SHAME ON ME FOR NOT DOING THE DETECTIVE WORK AND FOR BEING SO GULLIBLE.
All that being said, I hope every one of you is able to find some relief from this crappy economy and, moving forward, protect yourselves from people that want to take advantage of you. Good luck to you all and may things get easier for you soon.
January 7th, 2010 at 9:36 am
I was scammed by the same company’s deceptive advertising, Hoodwinking and Double Dealing tactics;I surely hope that everyone will file a complaint with FTC;because I already have;after I done my research on (Deceptive Advertising)and found out the company practices are Illegal and they can be charge and prosecuted in a class action lawsuit; If everyone will file right away with (FTC=Deceptive Advertising;that the Key Section or place to (FILE!!).by the way;people or friends;try getting your money return by contacting and writing or (Faxing your Bank and credit card company)make sure you sign everything!! They may charge back your Funds for you!!
January 6th, 2010 at 8:46 pm
To All:
Anyone that has lost money on any of these scams should file a report and complaint with the FTC immediately.
I reported a fraudulent company once that advertised “free” software which then proceeded to draft monthly payments out of the credit card that was only supposed to be for shipping costs. I received two checks back from the lawsuit that resulted from the FTC going after them and they were put out of business (and rightly so).
File a complaint and help end scams such as these.

January 6th, 2010 at 3:02 pm
Thanks for the great info…bottom line folks:
1. Employers should PAY YOU not the other way around!
2. The old saying if it sounds too good to be true…it’s about 99% sure it’s a scam!
3. Unfortunately the FBI & FTC is too busy chasing terrorist and money laundries from Nigeria to bother with these low life scams! ..buyer be ware
January 3rd, 2010 at 11:38 am
There were people that tried it, but refused to be charged thousands of dollars to proceed in the process of the program. i think that proves that its a scam. also, i do agree that you shouldn’t pay them to to work for them. that’s just common sense. but ive never thought about it like that till now. im glad i came across this site. all because i googled “home job placement scam Jennifer Johnson”, i saved $197. Thanks you guys!
January 3rd, 2010 at 11:22 am
i am single mom of 4 boys searching for work at home job ( dew to 1 of my boys disabilities stopping me from being out of the home for hrs to work ) i was thinking of sending these ppl my money …..but now i have read all of this i am just WOW …..i almost was ripped off of the only money i have to my name ……thank you all ….wish there really was some way to make an income from home
ty again Becky
January 1st, 2010 at 11:49 pm
I would really love to here from a person that can prove or verify that they have made money from these people and have not just successfully received their $$$ back from them. Wow! how exciting is that. When do we here from those that are making at the very least a paycheck? Got to wonder if any exist….hmmm? And I would prefer that it was not Jennifer Johnson that wrote back if you don’t mind.
December 31st, 2009 at 6:22 pm
I fell for these miserable, low-life, cowardly thieves! I fell for the Home Job Placement scam. The charged me 197.00 for something that i never asked for or authorized. I was just stupid enough to put my info first. I did some research right before proceeding to the next 4 steps but it was too late. I’ve been disputing this with my credit card company since Oct 7. They want to charge me when i don’t have anything from them or ever authorized anything! BTW their phones are all disconnected, the only one that works keeps you in loops forever and the reps that call you never have a call back number and when you redial the number they called you from it appears as disconnected. they are thieves! Stay away from that website as a whole!!!
December 30th, 2009 at 11:27 am
I think the conclusion one arrives at after doing a wealth of research on “work-at-home” sites, and reading all of the comments on this site, is: if you have to pay someone upfront to start working, it is a scam. That’ it. We all need to be cognizant of the desire to make easy money by some folks (such as Bernie, Ruthie, and progeny) and approach our job searches with that in mind. If everyone takes this approach, “work-at-home” sites will become extinct.
December 22nd, 2009 at 10:00 pm
I agree with Steph who said on December 20 that the Jennifer Johnson thing may not be a scam. You have to wait for a few minutes but i have called three times and always get through to someone. They were very happy to refund the money immediately, but I decided to try it because there is a 90 day guarantee. No one above seems to have actually done the Jennifer Johnson auction listing program so no one is truly qualified to answer this question. The customer service number is 866-261-5415
The Professional Learning Institute gets leads from Jenifer Johnson and I do think that this is a scam and the sales people are obnoxious.
December 22nd, 2009 at 5:18 pm
do you have web address or phone number so I can call them
December 22nd, 2009 at 3:52 pm
Holy Crap! I was just about to give them my money. Good thing I decided to do some research first
December 22nd, 2009 at 2:24 pm
hey could someone give me the number. I thought it was data entry stuff and when I found out it wasn’t I called them right away the same day within an hour. They said they would credit me back but didn’t.
December 20th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
It actually is not a scam. Just not right for some people. IF you would just call them and put your phone on speaker someone will answer the other end. Ya there might be a wait, but it is like this with A LOT of call centers. Stop whinning. I got my refund back with no problem what so ever, i thought the program was great…but i ended up getting back some health news and had to back out because of it. So if you guys would just actually try calling and bare through the wait then you will get your refund with no problem. Just can’t go on the internet and bitch and think you will get a response that way. It wont do anything for you. They also are registered with the BBB anyway.
December 18th, 2009 at 4:10 pm
Thank you. Thank you, for the information. Today, I was going to submit my money to this company. Thank you so much.
December 18th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
I submitted payment twice and they wouldn’t accept it. Hurray! Money in account too! Thanks Lord! Desperate people try desperate things. We have been without a job for 18 months so we qualify. However, after failure number two, or should I call it the best money I ever didn”t spend, I decided to do what I should have done before trying to buy it. RESEARCH! Run from these scams!
December 15th, 2009 at 6:48 pm
Glad I found this website….too. Thank You all for your incite. Are there any legitimate Work from Home websites?
December 15th, 2009 at 11:11 am
Thanks all for the info.I now google first throw money away later.I have been unemployed for a month now still waiting for my first check from them to.Wow looking on the web for a real job of any kind. Have decided fXXX this they do not have jobs on here just scams to rip off your neighbor looking for work if anyone knows of a real job with real work for money let me know please
December 14th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
To those of you that are trying to get your money back if you call the scammers again and are able to talk to someone tell them they need to give you a refund or you will call your cc company and do a chargeback, if they don’t give you the refund, call your cc company and tell them you want to do a chargeback on that charge, there may be a small fee but much better than losing money to losers like that. I too was thinking about doing it in my spare time and making some extra money and luckily researched this crap before doing so.
December 14th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
I came so close my to falling for this to they just sent me another email today I’m so glad I came here to read these reviews thanks for the help this site is a big help to bad people r not getting an email on this site.
December 11th, 2009 at 8:58 am
I could sure use some extra cash (makes me unique, huh?!). So every time I get one of these “make money from home” thingies I look it over real carefully, and go through application process up to the point where they ask for money.
Now, there are some instances where a company will legitimately ask for money, but IMO that should only happen when the company is providing you with raw materials to make something – handicrafts at home type projects. (These are okay, by the way, ONLY when the company guarantees to buy the handicrafts back from you at an agreed-upon price). But when companies want money for “training materials” or “registration,” I just shut down the browser and move along.
Gotta give HomeJobPlacement their props – they went three screens, I think before asking for money, but instead of wanting $19.95 or $47,95, these clowns want a breathtaking $197!!
These are despicable thieves and they need to be stopped somehow.
December 11th, 2009 at 5:46 am
From what I have read so far you all came of cheap, I paid close to $5,000.00 for a business where I got coaching. I believed I was getting names of drop shippers and a website.
A website for free for 3 months, but they took out the fee of $US39.95 twice within a week???
I have asked for money back but all of a sudden there are no emails at all. I gave them until 3pm after an initial 48 hours, but guess what, yes you’re right, no money.
I kept telling them that I needed to earn now, not months later. They kept getting me to do a little research and I kept asking what does this mean? The numbers I kept were confusing. I just didn’t understand what it was for. For all that money you think they could actually get me earning and learn along the way.
I never got a job placement, and I can’t get into my “site” after I wrote and told them I couldn’t log in for hours but I could get into any other sites I wished so nothing up with my internet provider or PC. So they suspended my site availability and I don’t have my money.
I live in Australia and the hours are difficult but I was working hard to get through all their videos, which honestly didn’t help me to at all. I just needed to earn. Now I yearn for my money.
RIP OFFS DON’T TOUCH THEM. I WAS DESPERATE TO EARN AND THEY PICKED UP ON THAT. SO I USED MY TOTAL BANKCARD ALLOWANCE. THEY (ADAM) TOLD ME I WOULD EARN ENOUGH TO PAY THE FIRST MINIMUM PAYMENT. I DIDN’T! NOT A CENT.
NOW I AM REALLY DESPERATE. AND IN DEBT AND HAVE NOTHING AT ALL.

I thought I could make $$ online ,but the more I research the more I find out most the get rich quick plans are nothing more than a scam. It’s sad that people are so dishonest and will take your $$$ in a heartbeat without thinking twice! I still hope and pray that I can find a real way to make income at home so that I can home school my daughter. Pray for me and all those moms out there who just want to do the best for their families while providing income for the family. Help!!!!!!!
December 7th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
Well, I am the idiot who did not do the homework. Does anyone know how to get a hold of these people. I have already contacted my bank…Bozo in CA
December 7th, 2009 at 10:34 am
Thank heavens I decided to do my research before hand this time. Getting scammed is such an awful feeling; I know just how many of you feel. If you take the time to read all of their disclaimers you’ll find that “Jennifer Johnson” and all of the other names are fake. Do not, I repeat DO NOT give these scumbags one red cent. Preying on folks that are having a tough time in this economy is just despicable. May they get their just desserts!
December 4th, 2009 at 4:36 pm
i’m glad i did my research before i signed up. because i found it in my junk mail with that johnson chick telling me how great it was, but it’s not. i thought it was too good to be true, but it’s a scam.
thanks for the info!
and for the ones that have been scammed, i hope you do find a way to get your money back.
December 4th, 2009 at 10:27 am
Many, Many thanks to all that came before me and enlightened me about this scam. I slept on it for a few days and woke up deciding to research, WOW, am I please that the good Lord sent me to this site. Work is very hard to find, now I have learned that you cannot find work online. Shame on those who pray on the unfortunate. Please don’t be their victims. Thanks again!
December 1st, 2009 at 1:14 pm
Thanks all. I really need the extra cash and almost signed up for this then I seen they wanted 197.00. wow way to much so I decided to do research. Glad I did. You all saved me 200.00 that I did not have. I have tried many ways to make money on the internet Failed at all of them and they all cost me money. I am beginning to believe the only way to make money is to create a scam and sell it like they do Thanks again.
November 28th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
I signed up, big mistake. I talked for 25 minutes with my “coach” about why I should do this business and he kept saying look at the money you could be making. He never told me how. And when I said why do I have to pay to do this business he said, and it makes sense, you are paying for the coaching and materials to learn how to do this business. When I looked at it that way, I thought well, they makes sense. But I told him to give me a few days and I would get back with him. I’m sure somebody is going to make money on this business, but it probably won’t be me.
Mike
November 26th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
I was a fool & fell for this just last night. Being a single mom & down on my luck, I thought it would be a good way to supplement my income. Now I can’t find out how to get my refund. Does anyone know how I can get my money back? I read where a few of you were able to get out of it after signing up as I have. Please help!
November 24th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
BEWARE…they’re working under different names so you can’t research them…I was recruited by “Auction Listing Employment Agency” and when I researched it came up with nothing negative. But it is obviously the same people/scam. They got my money and after a week of frustration with their useless website I filed a complaint with my CC company. It wasn’t until I talked to my CC company that I ever heard the name Home Job Placement…then I found the truth.
November 23rd, 2009 at 3:43 pm
All of these scammed people should have contacted their State Attorney General, reported their experience and demanded an investigation.
November 22nd, 2009 at 7:43 pm
I live in Australia and received the email from Jennifer Johnson. I was skeptical about the add in the first place as it was obviously generated in the US and asked for my zip code – in Australia we call it a post code, but I put in mine which it accepted saying how lucky I was that there were vacancies in my area!!!
I am out of work and it is very hard to find a job in Australia right now. Because of the eBay reference and Apple, etc, I thought it might be legitimate. I also asked my husband what he thought. He said to do some research and here I am. Thanks everyone. As you all have said, “if it looks to good to be true, it probably isn’t true.”
November 19th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
i cant believe this!! i was seriously on the payment page of “home job placement” when i decided to check it out on the “better business bureau” website. this is what i found:
“The Bureau has received a pattern of complaints concerning the company’s failure to refund consumers’ money when the product/service sold was not as advertised on the company’s website.”
so i then decided to look for a blog about “home job placement” just to be sure it was the same business and i found this site. when i read the name Jennifer Johnson, i knew this was it. thank-you so much!! i almost just wasted $197 of my money, well actually it wasn’t even my money. i applied for a credit card just so i could try this out. i can not afford to spend this kind of money, hence me looking for a job online. after all it did say i would make my money back in a little over a hour.
i read this ad about a month ago and was skeptical, but it had a contact number and address so i figured it was legitimate. i was so excited that i would be able to help pay the bills by working at home. i am a stay at home mom with 2 kids. it would have been devastating if i went through with this. so i cant thank you enough!!! God bless you!
i also keep getting emails back about internet work at home when i post an ad on craigslist. i guess they’re all the same too. too bad. how can people scam other people for a living??
if there is anything legitimate out there, please let me know. i could use some help! thanks again!!!
November 19th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
Everyone thanks, it was some what too easy and convincing the research and the 2 photos being the same and the names that they use, its all a load of BULL @#^%$# well, thanks every body and all i can say is do the research and, dont pay to work work should pay you regardless of what that may be, you should never have to pay!!!!!!
November 19th, 2009 at 10:23 am
Thanks for the info! It reeked scam or I wouldn’t have researched it in the first place. However I feel the need to especially thank you for the non stop laughter I had after reading your comment about Rulon, R from St. George! I find it humorously ironic that they make a point of “working” for your money and that there is no “fairy Godmother” blah, blah, blah yet they could not take the little bit of effort or time to put a new face in the testimonials. Nice catch! I’m still laughing although the entire business is NOT funny, there are many desperate people looking for work out there. Shame on those who take advantage of their situations!
November 17th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
Thank You for all of your comments….I’d rather flip burgers than to serve them up $200 of hard earned money!
November 16th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
WOW i just got the mail saying that if i wanted to get that job. pretty convincing until i saw that two photos are the same, it says the same thing in about every other paragraph, and that women, the one in the video, full someone else with that..!!! thanks Reviewopedia.
November 16th, 2009 at 7:35 pm
I did sense an unease at the reading of the TOO much data scroll forever. The added “want to sign up yet?” links midway through screamed “got ya!” I thought some may be policing the idea by now and am glad to see it.
“Come closer” cooed the Spider to the Fly…. “I will not harm you”….
November 16th, 2009 at 11:05 am
This is a scam!! DO NOT BUY INTO THIS ALLEGED BUSINESS!! DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING!!! All this “business” tells you is how to become a power seller on ebay and what to do. From reading the “advertisement” it sounds like this company will send you the links to the businesses and you list it on ebay for the company. You would make $5/listed item. This is a crock of bull!! Don’t do it, this is my only way of informing you not to do it!!! I was lucky enough to get out of it 3 hours after! Good luck!
November 12th, 2009 at 8:44 am
A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU..YOU JUST SAVED ME $200 AS I WERE ABOUT TO MAKE THAT PAYMENT!
1 PIECE OF ADVICE : WHAT SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, USUALLY IS, SO DON’T FALL TO THESE PROFESSIONAL SCAMMERS..I HOPE WHOEVER RUNS THESE WEBSITES, IS CAUGHT AND JAILED FOR A LIFETIME!!….KEEP SAFE PEOPLE…MAYBE WE COULD SEND WARNING EMAILS OUT TO OUR CONTACTS TOO…TAKE CARE BYE
November 10th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
UPDATE: call 800-860-8068, this is MST zone (UTAH), this is the # they give you if they are “interested”, they will interview you and see if you qualify to be an auction listing agent via the “Program Administrator”. In fact, when you dial the above #, dial ext. 3152, and this will be for someone named Glen who is the “Development Specialist” to get people started with the Prgm Admin. Deal with him about getting your money back OR ask him why did his company take all the HELP information command out of eBay and turned it into a take-this-course-for-a-job $ marketing scheme. I already left him a message saying I want my refund and I have notified the FBI. Keep calling!! Anyone can learn how to sell better on eBay by clicking on the website’s HELP link! Hope this helps!

Thank you for the info you have given, wished this was out in front instead of the athomejobplacement. BTW, got this off their site, call 866.261.5415. It’s their Customer Care Center M-F : 9AM – 9PM EST and Saturday: 10AM – 5PM EST. They will call back but the pitch they give is they want you to invest your $ into starting your own business instead of them giving you work to do on you PC. There are other ways to get even: Call or email your local Better Business Bureau and FBI. Take the vast information from the eBay course they have giving you, copy/print all of it, then start distributing it to as many eBay sellers as you can. Better yet, we can all band together, contact the Justice Department for a law firm who will work pro bono, and file a civil lawsuit on behalf of the people in federal district court. There was a finance company called Norwest in the late 1990s that was scamming people when offering loans and when a civil lawsuit was filed and the people won, Norwest was out of business. Be persistent and let the truth prevail! Thanks again.

Please do everything possible to disclaim Jennifer Johnson’s home job placement site as a scam site. I have emailed numerous times and no response. They do not do what they claim and will not return my money.

Guess what? There is even MORE bad news about this company that you are not aware of. This is BEYOND BELIEF:
I received 2 emails from people who have joined, and found out that Home Job Placement has been issuing MY EMAIL ADDRESS to their affiliates in order to promote their company!!!! They have apparently hacked into the system for my email address, password, alternate email, or bought the information from an Internet criminal, etc.!!! Google tells me that scam artists do this to hide their true address. If you still have copies of the emails they sent you, I ask you to see if my name appears in the address where they originated from. If you find it, let me know the date of the email. I would be interested in how long this has been going on. I would not have ANYTHING to do with a company that stoops that low in order to do business.
I have changed my password and sent 2 complaints to the FTC.
After I finish submitting this comment, I will contact MSN and eBay in order to nail these people to the wall. I will be checking back here from time to time to see if there has been any feedback, so keep those comments coming.

Just wanted to let everyone know I just got off the phone with Apple. They are one of the companies Home Job Placement is claiming to do work for, they have never heard of them and they have not contracted out any work to them. All Apple jobs are posted on their web site. I am going to see if I can get in touch with some of the other companies listed and see what they know. I hope we can get the word out that JENNIFER JOHNSON and HOME JOB PLACEMENT is a scam and people need to stay away from it. Please do not give these people your money without doing your homework.

Personally this site sucks big time – I have repeatedly requested that I be removed from their mailing list – got replies that it has been done. But each morning, get another couple of emails. Either they don’t speak English or should not be in business. Based on that alone – it is a SCAM in my eyes and I am fed up. What else can I do – I have tried calling and put the phone down after 45 minutes of holding on – don’t know how they conduct their business. Guess I will just have to blog about their company and maybe that will make them sit up straight.

It appears pretty much every site hosted by NSA Technologies, LLC sucks. They have a pretty good track record of being a scam!
November 2nd, 2009 at 9:41 pm
I am always wary of extremes. For some people, anything like this is a SCAM!!! No questions asked. Then there is the gullible set, where they try anything. I did not read anything in this article that suggests research. I may be wrong, but for example, did anyone call eBay and ask them about this organization. Look, if it is legit, its legit. If it is a scam, its a scam. Research it with independent third parties and get to the truth. After reading this article, I am not convinced either way.
November 2nd, 2009 at 6:41 pm
I’ve been trying to contact Home Job Placement through the numbers they sent to my email address and get nothing. I made the mistake of buying into this scam and can’t reach anyone at this point. Its been about a week since I signed up for this and am now trying to recoup my money. Should have done my research first, shame on me! I will never buy into another scam like this again. And I agree with BV…the web browser should be a little more responsible about who they allow to advertise with them!
November 2nd, 2009 at 5:14 pm
Thank you to those of you who took the time to write of their experiences with this scam and save me $200.00.
One thing puzzles me. How can they claim that they were on Oprah? Can’t find anything on that.
Any advice?
October 30th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
One frustrating thing for me is that I almost responded to this scam because it was advertised through a major web browser job search link. I guess these guys (don’t want to name them, but you know who they are) need to make a buck too accepting the advertising fees but neglecting to check out the folks who pay to advertise with them.
October 30th, 2009 at 9:32 am
I didn’t have the $197 to buy the “program” in the first place. But I thought I could save it up, if it was a real deal. But thanks to scam sites like this, I wont waste my money. What a joke!
October 30th, 2009 at 9:27 am
Question…………how are they allowed to use the Ebay name? It would seem to me that it only makes ebay look badly and a case for a lawsuit as if they are involved in the scam.
October 29th, 2009 at 9:16 pm
Thank you for your information. I almost fell for this scam. I came to your website by divine intervention. I hope the word gets around that this is really nothing more than what it is “A SCAM”
October 29th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
The fine print at the bottom of “Julie Johnson’s” website clearly states that Julie Johnson is a made up name, and her story is a compilation of many people that were in the same position as “her”. They also state that there is no guarantee you will make money, and the results of the people in the testimonials is not representative of typical results. The testimonials claim to be real, but to put in perspective, they represent the results of less than 1% of the people that sign up for this program.
As stated many times in the above comments, this is absolutely a scam. They (and many like them) are preying on the weak, poor, and uneducated to turn a quick profit for themselves. YOU SHOULD NEVER SIGN UP FOR ANY JOB THAT REQUIRES YOU TO PAY THEM. I have had many jobs in my life, and never once have I been in a job interview where they ask me to write them a check for any amount of money to get the job. In fact, the opposite usually applies. You will generally be offered a signing bonus to work for them, not the other way around. There are no legit ways to earn money, working from home. The Internet is a powerful and terrifying entity. Proceed with extreme caution.

I signed up for the newsletter about 2 months ago for home job placement. I kept reading it thinking maybe it is legit. I was hoping. It sure sounded great. I then did some research and found a lot of complaints about the company. I have unsubscribed to the newsletter probably about 5 times now and everyday I still get an e-mail from Jennifer Johnson!
I too am glad that there are people that take the time to post their story and help the rest of us out!
Thank you,
Christy
October 26th, 2009 at 1:41 pm
Thanks for all the comments. I was ready to pay the money but it sounded too easy as many have said. It’s always great to be able to check into the pros and cons of these type offers before you buy.
October 26th, 2009 at 2:45 am
There is an article on the home job placement website about Ted Santiago. In the article, it states that he had an interview with the Associated Press about how easy this is and how much money he makes. So, I just wanted to add that I did a search in the AP archives and found no such interview nor article for home job placement and Ted Santiago. This information may further illustrate that this offer is truly a scam.
October 25th, 2009 at 6:21 am
Thank you all for saving me grief. I started to question the sales pitch at “grabbing the gold ring on the merry go round.” Only one carousel in the US still has this old feature. I know this only because I’m a roller coaster freak. Jennifer Johnson(?)appears younger than me, so I suspect the pitch was “recycled” from an older brain trust. And this probably helps scam all generations. Keep an eye out for this line in the next “new” scam.
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:12 am
Thanks for the great information and saving me cash.

Home Job Placement
To bad, it’s yet another high priced opportunity that doesn’t pass my sniff test.
October 22nd, 2009 at 8:01 am
Bravo! Thanks for the heads up! I keep getting these work at home e-mails and research them. This one I didn’t have to do any research on! All I had to do is read this.
Thanks again.
October 21st, 2009 at 8:31 pm
Thank you everyone for your feedback. What has come of this USA. All people want to do is hurt people and take advantage. If we all stopped these unfair games and treated everyone the way you want people to treat you, it would be a better world for all. What are we teaching our kids. This technology that we have developed is only hurting this country not helping. Its time to go back to the basics. Be fair. Earn your money with hard work and honesty and stop ripping off your neighbors. Grow up.
October 21st, 2009 at 2:06 pm
It is a big scam if people could just work as easy as they put it then everyone would quit there jobs and do this listing agent thing it is just a fancy word for stay at home couch potato.
October 21st, 2009 at 1:36 pm
Thank you for the valuable information. It makes me so angry to think that I almost fell for this and that these people are taking advantage of so many people who need money desperately. I have learned a valuable lesson to research and think first.
October 21st, 2009 at 11:47 am
There is no end to the line of people who will kick you when you’re down, and the government does not have the resources to investigate.
October 21st, 2009 at 11:09 am
I have been EVERYWHERE on the internet! Is there really a legitimate way to make a modest income from home? I don’t want to sell anything or be in someone else’s SCAM, I can’t afford that! If anyone has any suggestions that really work, Please share…
October 20th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
Thank God I didn’t sign up for this Scam, I was reading this for about a month before I decided to do it, my daughter checked this website and we found this very useful information about all you people that are being robbed. People like Jennifer Johnson have to be reported and prosecuted. Be careful, and don’t let these scammers get your money, search before like we did and save your $200. Good Luck every body and God Bless you.
October 19th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
thank you very much!!! very usefull information!!! I actually just got laid off and wanted to make a little bit of money with these sacammers before I read these feedbacks! God Bless you!
October 18th, 2009 at 6:41 pm
I have seen this site before and looked into it…I don’t know if it works or not, I never gave it a try, but you have to pay to get the information it probably is not a good idea. Besides, if you want to post items for sale in E-Bay, all you have to do is become a dealer with E-Bay. Then you can find your own items to sell. ?? I just don’t get it. This lady somehow has clearing houses of stuff to sell on E-Bay and she wants you to do it for her for a price? That just doesn’t sound right.
October 18th, 2009 at 6:26 am
GOOD FOR YOU TO EVERYONE THAT HAD THE SKEPTICISM TO REVIEW YET ANOTHER ONLINE “OPPORTUNITY” THAT RESULTS IN JUST MORE OF THE SAME IN AN AGE OF “INFOMERCIALS”. THE BEST THING WE CAN DO IS TO CONTACT THE BBB OR FTC (FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION) AND RESEARCH THE PROSPECTIVE EMARKETING SITES. BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE IN THIS HORRIBLE ECONOMY.
October 17th, 2009 at 12:47 pm
Fortunately I found this website before making a terrible mistake. I am really grateful that I did not put money that I don’t have to spend on something that would’ve caused me more grief than I already have. THANK YOU …THANK YOU…for lighting up these obvious “SCAM ARTISTS”…
October 16th, 2009 at 11:24 am
Thanks for the information , I will stay away from yet another SCAM!
October 14th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
Well I do hope you all read the fine print because i didn’t and could’ve been charged a lot of money not knowing , thanks to this website to research it , I came across it and I was able to cancel immediately and when I called and told her I wanted to cancel she wanted to argue with me but mam you just ordered it why don’t you give it 7 days at least I had to be extremely persistent and kept telling her no please cancel it and finally she did and gave me a cancel confirmation number however she did give me a freaking attitude the WHOLE time! I’m very upset I was silly for one sec. to believe this, Ive never done anything like this before and never will again! What is this world coming to if your so freaking desperate to get money and a job your willing to pay for it! A JOB= PAYS YOU!!! REMEMBER THAT! PLEASE IF YOUR GONNA DO IT PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ IT ALL AND WHO CARES IF IT SAYS IT EXPIRES IN 5 MINS I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT IT WILL BE THERE in more than 5MINS! I went to the site again and it started timing all over again! HAHAHA GOODLUCK
October 13th, 2009 at 6:35 pm
THANK YOU!!!!
October 13th, 2009 at 10:04 am
I’ve been one of those looking for something to make money as I am out of work right now. Well, they’ve got my money and I can’t get anything but music and a recording on the phone number 877-578-4480. They say return to the website where you purchased this order. Does anyone know what that is anymore. Please send it to me if you have it.
IS THERE REALLY A CUSTOMER CARE SPECIALIST? My phone has been waiting for them to answer for 10 minutes and it just disconnected. Guess that says something.
October 13th, 2009 at 3:47 am
Thank you for this very valuable information. I too was optimistic as are the other fools that have stumbled upon this website, but my husband is very skeptical and urged me to research the company before giving them any money. He kept asking “why do you have to pay to work?” GOOD QUESTION! Now I know I will not try this and I will look for a free business that wants to PAY me!
October 9th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
Let me just say this. If you have to pay to work. Its a scam. Period. If someone wants your services it will be for free. Never pay to work for someone else. These scams are too frequent feeding on peoples need for income in a hard economy.If someone is truely willing to help you and thier program really works. They would sign you up for free. If it is a true valid organization they will make money just by you working. Do them a favor and starve them. They need to work a real job like the rest of us.
