    While working frome home (or some other such nonsense)
    Has anyone ever done any of those types jobs advertised? What exactly are they for? I just want to quench my curiosity, but I am too afraid to ask them as I get roped into things too easily :eek:

    I've seen two before, one where you post out envelopes (mass mailing I think they call it) and you refer people to the program and another where you go door-to-door selling different products for a company(mainly household) and get percentage of what you sell.

    edit: Now that I think of it, the mailing one had you pay €25 to "get started" with "supplies". :/

    Most of these work from home jobs are based on you giving them a signing on fee of a few hundred quid. That's how they make most of their money. The product they have you selling is irrelevant.

    Any job which requires you to pay a joining fee should be avoided.

    The first thing to remember is that this is not a pyramid scheme...

    Yeah...

    I wanted to see what these multi-level marketing (MLM) schemes were all about. I went along to a meeting for "Excel".

    Excel's product is cheap phone calls.

    The meeting was incredible. This is a summary of it:

    Pay us a joining fee of a few hundred euro. Get your friends to resell our phone service (which will require them to pay a joining fee as well.) If possible, guilt your parents, brothers and sisters into using our phone service.

    They didn't really care about the phone service. It was the reseller signing up fee they wanted.

    It worked. Excel are huge...

    What was depressing were the amount of delusional fools at the meeting. So many losers in one room...

    Why do a Pyramid scheme when you could be in The Trapezoid
