Work From Your Home!

I just got an email from careerbuilder.com – is it legit?

It says it’s that a company called Hill International has reviewed my information from careerbuilder.com and is offering me a job. It is a work at home job, and one of the requirements is the employee must have a good credit score. It goes on to say that if I am interested, I have to reply to the email. It also says that to speed up the hiring process I can go to their website, www.TheBizz1.cc, and apply for the job there. The only thing is, on their application it asks for my Social Security number (as most employment applications do). I don’t want to go around giving that information unless this is a legitimate offer. Have any of you heard of this company or worked for them, and if so, is it any good?
BTW: the website says the position is a work-at-home position. They have you physically go out and place orders for clients who are having trouble getting certain products. It says you will place the orders with your own credit card(s) (AFTER they’ve given you the money), and you keep like 5% of the order total. The company guarantees you will make $2000/month.
This is the address it came from:

noreply_position4380@careerbuilder.com

The thing is, I don’t remember if I’ve ever signed up with them, but it’s very possible I could have, since I was looking for a work-at-home job at one time.

What if a job I’m applying for wants to talk to my current employer?

I’ve been employed for close to five years at my current job. It’s at a very small business. My employer has known I’ve been pregnant for several months. When I recently spoke to them about maternity leave and my return to work schedule, I tried to discuss with them a work from home schedule (1-2 days a week) for after my maternity leave, I received “we’ll really have to think about this” as an answer. Note too that my job is pretty much answering emails – something I could very easily do in any setting.

Having this up in the air has really got me concerned. Based on past experience, I have a strong feeling that I’m not going to get an answer either way for quite some time, and I need to start planning now.

So, with this major dissapointment from my employer (and my generally unhappy opinion of my current job) I’ve decided to start looking for a new one. I went to the employment website for a large local employer and went to fill out their online application. This application requires me to fill out the name of my current supervisor and his/her contact information and notes that they have the right to contact them during the application review process. Since I’m still employed at my current job – and may very well keep it if I’m allowed to work from home – I don’t feel comfortable sharing this information. I don’t want to tell my current employer I’m looking for a job elsewhere, and at the same time, I don’t want to avoid applying for any jobs at this new potential employer. What do you think I should do?

I need help, Is this a scam job?

I inquired about a job on craigslist and this is the email I received. My email marked it as spam and I am just curious if others think it is a scam. I don’t want to get involved with anything that is risky!

Should I continue with this company??

This is the company website: http://www.ifc.org/

Do I have the right to a review/raise at work?

Here’s the situation – I have worked with the company I am working for as an in-house accountant since December of 2005. I quite my job in August of 2009 to move 100 miles away & help with our family business, but I was asked by my old boss to consider coming back to work for him in April of 2010. The girl they hired in my position wasn’t doing a good job so they asked me to work for them again. It was do-able for me to work for the old boss again because I am able to dial into their server and work from my home office just the same as I was working for him before (which is necessary since I”m now 100 miles away from the office). I do have the advantage of flexable hours now because I work from home & the boss trusts me that I do a good job & will do quality work for him… which I do. But everyone else at the company received a review last month & a raise – except for me! Even though I work from home I should still have the right to a review, right? Any suggestions on how I ask for a review? I would also expect a raise since I feel I do a good job & we recently opened up a new branch office that has put extra work on me lately! I don’t think this is fair; but I’m so shy asking for reviews/raises! By the way, I think I’m underpaid to begin with; I took a cut in pay when I came back to work for them! As a sole in-house accountant for a company with 5 locations I am only getting paid $31,200 a year right now! And yes, I am the only accountant for all 5 branches. I feel like I’m only getting paid 1/2 of what I’m worth – which is why the new girl they hired in my place before didn’t work out – they don’t pay enough money to get a quality accountant & I’m too nice to say no or put up a stink about my wages!

Should I accept job offer?

I currently work for a health insurance company in Philadelphia, PA (we’ll label that Job A). I recently got a job offer at MTV in NY (we’ll label that Job B). I’m wondering if it’s worth accepting given the pros and cons list provided below.

***** Job A *****
+ working there for 1.5 years
+ co-workers are great
+ current management is relaxed and very flexible
+ on-site gym is a nice perk
+ benefits aren’t bad. typical medical, dental, vision, 10 paid holidays (depending on year)
+ 7.5 hr per day (37.5 hr per week) instead of the typical 8 hr per day (40 hr per week). my typical day is from 9 AM – 5 PM, with a 30 min lunch break.
+ 135 total hrs to be used for either personal, vacation and sick days, which breaks down to 18 days. we’re also allowed to carry over up to 37.5 hrs (5 days) of unused time.
+ we are allowed to “buy” an extra 5 days of vacation, which is essentially unpaid time off. we can “return” any unused days back to the company and get our money back.
~ taking Septa bus is cheap, but takes anywhere from 30 – 50 minute commute one way due to traffic and various bus stops
~ although the work isn’t too boring due to various projects, i would like to work in a different industry.
- company is unstable due to economy, healthcare reform and a pretty huge business venture that failed. as a result, there has been constant internal reorganization, layoffs, employees leaving for other jobs and employees taking early retirement packages. There is supposedly another round of layoffs this coming June.
- as a result of above, company’s profit margins are very slim. there were no salary increases and only a 1% bonus given regardless of positive or negative performance review.
- as a result of stability concerns, work environment isn’t the greatest and employee morale is low
- tuition reimbursement went from unlimited annually to $3000 annually.

***** Job B *****
+ MTV! lol. for me, it’s an industry change from healthcare to media, which i think i would enjoy.
+ no official dress code; most employees wear jeans, sneakers and t-shirts to work everyday unless you have a meeting w/ clients, upper management, etc
+ typical medical, dental and vision packages, 10 paid holidays
+ every other Friday off in summer from Memorial Day through Labor Day
+ 10 vacation days, 4 personal days and 10 sick days = 24 days off per year. allowed to carryover half of any unused time as long as it does not exceed 10 days.
+ annual 5% bonus target (depending on own performance and company performance). same applies for salary increases
+ the team and the bosses (i met with directors, VP and SVP) seemed very relaxed and easy-going.
+ compared to Job A, tuition reimbursement is $10,000 annually
~ salary isn’t exactly what i was looking for, especially for a position in NY and is only a couple thousand more than what i currently make.
~ compared to my current job, core hours are from 9:30 AM – 6:30 PM (8 hour work, 1 hour lunch), but can leave early if work is completed and/or if lunch isn’t taken away from desk
- TRAVEL!! if i commute from Philly, i’m looking at a 2.5 hours one way (1/2 hour to get to bus station, 1.5 – 2 hours for bus ride to NY). so i’m looking at 5 hours spent each day on commuting. i am looking into possibly renting a studio to stay a couple nights of the week. so a typical day would be me leaving home by 6:30, catch a bus or train around 7 – 7:30 AM, get to NY by 9 – 9:30. then assuming i leave offices at 6:30, catch bus/train at 7 PM, back in philly by 9 PM and home around 9:30 PM. repeat for remaining days of the week.
- i have a 1 year old daughter and traveling or staying in a studio in NY will result in loss of family time. to comprimise, i could stay in NY mon-thurs. the only time i would travel is monday morning, thursday night back to Philly and Friday back to and from work.
- the difference in salary and then some will go right back into traveling and/or rent in NY.
- no relocation reimbursement

both jobs are pretty similar, the biggest difference is a title change. i was a consultant before traveling to various cities, but that was only traveling at the beginning and the end of the week with all expenses paid.

i really would like to accept as i want a change in industry, which will open doors to other opportunities outside of healthcare. but i also don’t know how long i’ll last if i have to travel everday. the team and upper management really liked me, but can’t negotiate a higher salary or other benefits due to budget constraints. if i decline, they’ll go with a back up candidate.

what are your thoughts and suggestions? if you need any additional details, let me know.

Has anyone done this? Is this a scam?

A company by the name of JPL Independent & Co LTD contacted me via e-mail if I was interested in a job with them. The job would allow me to work from home. By going over their web site http://jplindependent.org/index.php it seemed good to me so I agreed. They don’t ask for money what so ever only for my contact information and Bank account number to which they will deposit my paycheck too. So I e-mailed them back the completed application and my resume. They emailed me back to day telling me my training start tomorrow and via internet so one will be contacting me as well. If I have any questions to call this number (781) 241 9930. Well, I called and its not a working # and 781 area code appears to be located in Lexington, MA, when the website indicates the company is located in Buxton, Derbyshire overseas. Now am scared because they have my personal information and account # (not my SS# though). What can I do? Or What should I do? i dont want to know about any other work from home site, only if this is a scam!

Also they e-mailed me these instructions:

Why the HELL havn’t I been FIRED!!?

WTF …WHY won’t they FIRE ME already?
So for the past six months I have been working in sales at a kids radio station. The product is total BS and doesn’t work. The station manager had to lie to me to get me to come work there telling me that I would be given active accounts when all they want me to do is cold call from the yellow pages. The funny thing is, they pay me a guaranteed base salary of 35K. I have no set schedule, I show up when I want, leave when I want. I have the option to “work from home“. I haven’t really sold much since I’ve been there partly because the product is crap, partly because I refuse to be a telemarketer, and partly because of the economy. The funny thing is, they keep threatening to fire us salespeople but only give warnings and never follow through with it. I mean they’ve paid me all this money and I literally do NOTHING..I show my face in the office for a couple hours every day…get bitched at for not selling…have performance reviews where I just say “I’m trying” and nod my head. a month ago they put me on “probation” during which time they wanted me to produce about 20k in cold calling sales “or else” I sold zero…..I thought today would have been it…and it wasn’t…NOTHING HAPPENED? They asked if I wanted to leave, and I said “No” LOL. I can’t afford to just walk out. Why don’t they just let me go…this is a joke! Any thoughts? It’s not that I am lazy, its just that I am angry that I was decieved into taking the job. There’s something weird with the whole situation.

Visitation Drama and Questions-Please Help!!!?

I have a son with my ex. I just filed a state hearing for child support and they are supposed to be working on putting him in contempt for not paying. Not too long ago he requested a review of his child support. I’m not working but my husband is 7 days a wk full time to support me and HIS kid. He is working and supporting him and helping me raise him but apparently has no rights? What about HIS rights to see his stepson? Why aren’t those acknowledged when he takes the responsibility for a child who isn’t even his blood?

I’m still looking for a career after college graduation last summer.

Not too long ago he sent out a visitation complaint as he has not seen my son in 2 months. My son’s behavior seems to have improved by having a stable home and like my mother in law said “he knows where he’s going to sleep at night”. I just talked to an attorney and he basically thinks he will get visitation.

My son’s father is a HS dropout, lives at home with his mother who harasses me and my family with slander letters, sent postcards to my mom at work at the hospital, records conversations, etc. They are crazy. He was supposed to get charged with felony theft from listing items on Ebay that didn’t exist but it got thrown out with no evidence. (Even though I know he did it after we broke up and before we were together). A detective investigating him showed me video of his mom and mom’s bf driving up and down my road of where me, my husband and son live. This alone scares me as this is supposed to be private and makes me think they have kidnapping plans.

My ex doesn’t work and has no license (taken away for not paying support), his car got repo’d, and his mom’s bf would probably pick up and drop off my son. The attorney told me I could try to make them do most of the driving being that he’s not paying support and they live about 50 miles away.

I wanted supervised visitation but said there is none in my county and that I’d have to pay for it and I don’t trust him or his family around my son. My ex probably isn’t even there with my son-when he got out of jail after my son was 6 mo’s old he would sit online and ignore us and go see other women while I cared for my son alone.

I think they are requesting this visitation for his mother and mom’s bf (no relation to my son) and not for my ex. I’m not sure what to do and don’t want my son around any of them. My ex has a history of domestic violence with me and other women. He hit me when I was pregnant and threw soap at my stomach when I was pregnant. He never worked when I was pregnant and none of his family ever contributed to the expensive costs of having a child.

He has a criminal record of stalking- (had 3-4 restraining orders put on him), harassment and theft online to scam people out of money but never seems to get caught. He is also a womanizer with multiple sex partners-he even gave me an STD when he got out of jail after my son was born. (Thank God I have a real man now). I’m afraid the going back and forth from home to home thing is going to hurt my son along with the relationship with my husband (his stepdad) who I am trying to grow and build as he can sometimes take off wkends but defeats the point if my son is gonna be over there. Also my son comes home for there in filthy dirty clothes, with dirt all under his nails, and unkempt. And my mom came with me to pick him up from my ex’s and the one day he was out of it in the car-didn’t make eye contact, didn’t acknowledge me or my mom, didn’t really move at all, it was like he was drugged and I don’t trust them with my son. My mom even noticed it as well and told me and I trust her opinion as an RN. I took him to the Dr. because of it but it was the next day and probably out of his system by then

Plus I’m afraid they will try to keep him or if we agree to switching days or something that they will try to put me in contempt. I don’t trust anything about them and they are not the kind of people my son should be around.

He is gonna be 3 in August and doesn’t understand and plus my husband is a great dad to him and I don’t think he needs such a negative role model such as my ex around him. Plus the instabilitiy of his home I think is too hard for a child his age-but my ex and them never take that into consideration.

Also I have a wedding party coming up and better have my son with me as I will probably see a lot of family I haven’t seen in a long time and they will want to see my son.

I want to contest visitation or request it be supervised (even if I have to pay). What can I do and what are my rights? What would you do if you were me? I want my husband to eventually adopt him or at least change his name.

I know visitation with them is not in my son’s best interest. He is too young to understand and be able to deal with all the stress and drama. Please help.
I don’t have money for an attorney.
And I would’nt pay for visitation with someone my ex knows-just a neutral party and I doubt he’d go to that visitation if it was supervised which is what I want.

how much are you willing to spend on a dog ???? like the prince range ?

im asking this cause last night i came across a web site that sells puppies and they were like micro tea cup maltese,chihuahuas and yorkies and toy poodles i thought to myself that this has to be a fraud/scam cause first off there are no tea cups ,let alone micro , and second of all the prices were really ridiculous like one puppy even had a price of like almost 7.000$ and it wasn’t fake cause there were like reviews/comments from other people

and that is just ridiculous

im not a dog hater i have 2 rescue mini schnauzers at home i got them an hour before they were going to be put to sleep and i only spend 500$ on the adoption fee ( 250$ per dog) but im willing to pay like up to a 1.000$ for a dog IF i really really love the breed , not cause its a rare breed and no one else has it

next month my father is bringing home our 3rd dog its an almost 4 month old miniature bull terrier and im really excited. that dog is going to be from Poland , i was on the waiting list for over a year and a half and the price was really high for that dog it was 3.500PLN ( polish zloty ) and that is a lot that amount of money in Poland is like a 4 month salary that a middle class working family would have
in US $ its about 1.100$

Help my wife was scammed by a debt collector?

On Wednesday my wife got a call from a guy claiming he was from the IRS stating his name was Al Hobs. He stated that we misstated a 1099 form and therefore you owe us 5,687 in back taxes. I do contract work and we have mis-stated one before and it was not fun with penaltiess and interests. This Al Hobs was veryforce fulll andthreadingg saying he will butlienss on property and garnish wages he also noted it will cost us double what we owe. She told him that she should talk to me about it, he said its too late we have been trying to talk to him, He did offer he a payment of 4,000 and would consider this closed. She gave him her credit card to settle this. I got home and she told me about this I was confused and called the our tax guy. One the tax guy said it would take up to a week for me to review you document. Two the tax guy said they would send writtencorrespondencee to you on this, also the IRS never acts like Al Hobs and demands money right here and now. Tax guy advised that I should check my wifes credit card to see if was the IRS or a scam. Sure enought I checked my wifes cc transaction there was a payment of 4,000 to portfolio recovery associates. Well they have been contacting me on a debt way past the statue of limitations. Debt was charged off in 1999 as a Discover card for 1,987 and they inflated it to almost 6k. I called them up and talked to a supervisor very shady and he said that my wife agreed to make a settlement and we did not pretend to be the IRS. He did also state I will get a letter showing a it is settled and closed and he also laughed and said yes you will get a 1099-c form on they debt we forgave to you. so will IRS by the way. I told them I am going to fight this he said who will they belive a dead beat like you or us. I think us good luck. What can i do, can we dispute the charge ect. I am really p’d off.
I see all kinds of nasty on this company Portfolio Recovery Associates how can they talk to my wife anyhow as this debt was before we were married.
