WORK AT HOME SCAMS TO CHECK OUT !!

Since last week a couple of people have asked that I detail some of the work from home scams that are pervading the net today.

Crafts Scam

Attempts to hook those with a flair for arts and crafts, the advertisement claims that if you purchase up front, their bundles of unassembled product, that when put together at home and sent back to them, you will earn a whole bunch of money. The product can be anything from jewelry, lampshades, trinket boxes, various items of home décor. The con is, you buy these packs of unassembled product up front, with your hard earned cash, only to find you’ve purchased a pile of junk, that’s impossible to put together, totally worthless and valueless., Or if you do manage to assemble any, it takes so long it’s a joke, or the promoter of the scam will only pay you if you manage to put together a predetermined quota of items. If by some chance you do manage to reach this quota and send them in for cash they will be returned saying they do not conform to the required standards and you will not be paid. So arts and crafters beware.

Rebate Processing Scams

“Rebate Processing At Home. Make Up To $250+ Per Day – 100% Money Back Guarantee – Join Today! “

OR

“At Home Rebate Processor. It’s This Simple 20 Rebates a Day = $109,500 a Year! 100% Guarantee.”

You’ve all seen these adds, the net is rife with them, they even come to you in your email overnight, so you can be scammed with your early morning coffee, nothing beats getting a head start on the day does it, particularly if your an internet con artist.

In their advertisement they lure you in with big promises of easy money and fast cash, they tell you to enroll as an affiliate for a popular product sold on the net, that offers a “rebate” ,they will supply huge lists of such companies who offer rebates as part of their set up package, they offer 24 hour support they tell you, if you get people to buy through your website or newspaper add, they will receive a rebate of X% but only if they order through you, where you make money, they tell you, is the rebate is really much higher than X% and you, the rebate processor gets to keep the difference.

It sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it, and that’s because it is, all they’re interested in, is the money you pay them, for becoming a member of their work from home rebate processing team. They ask anywhere from $75 to $275, what you actually get for your money, is some very badly written instructions, and a list of phone numbers where you are continually placed on hold or told to wait for a call back, that never comes, and the web sites that are supposedly there to offer you assistance with any problems, most just ask you for more money, or they don’t work.

Now lets think about this a little , if most people had thought about it up front, and not been in such a big rush to part with their cash, its obviously a scam ,for in order to attract the large amounts of customers necessary to produce the income figures they tell you, can be earned, you will have to pay to advertise on major search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN, or take out huge full page adds in popular newspapers, this would cost you hundreds or even thousands of dollars every month! So essentially they want you to spend your money to sell other peoples products! Does this even sound like a sensible thing to do?

Envelope Stuffing

The other classic work at home scam, you’ve seen the little text ads in the classified section of your local paper, “Make an extra $200 a week stuffing envelopes.” The ads tell you to send them money anywhere from $39.00 to $139.00 for more information. When you send in your cheque you get a set of instructions, that outlines how to get into the envelope stuffing business, there is no legitimate business here, they’re just telling you how to work the con on the next unsuspecting Joe or Josephine. You’re instructed to place your own classified ad and how to photocopy the very piece of paper you’re reading, and forward it to anybody who responds to your con. That’s the whole envelope stuffing business; the only envelope stuffing involved, is if you decide to perpetrate the same scam on others, and if you do, you should be deeply ashamed.

An online version of this “I believe” is the Profit Lance System, $77 to $160, a money making scheme offering pre-made websites, reminiscent of the Ultimate Wealth Package or the Rich Jerk websites. Just Google them, their websites are all over the place, Profit Lance gives you a one page affiliate website, which actually merely sells on the same scheme you just bought. It offers a course “that promises in depth step by step training not offered anywhere else, in four main areas of how to make money on line, which include affiliate marketing, Google AdSense, traffic generation, and Search Engine Optimization.

You see a vast number of similar websites claiming they can teach you how to make money on the net. They usually turn out to be a sham. While I can’t prove for sure that Profit Lance is one of these sites, I highly suspect it, and I’m definitely not going to waste my money finding out.

And even if it’s not an out and out con, all you will have purchased with your $77 to $160.00 is information you could have found yourself by doing a little on line research. Too lazy to cull the net for valuable information on SEO (Search Engine Optimization), Google AdSense, affiliate marketing and generating traffic to your website, then hang on in here a while , those are just some of the topics I aim to cover on this site and more….and for free.

Do Your Homework

Personally, I would severely question the veracity of any work-at-home scheme that arrives unsolicited through my email, advertised in the classified section of the local free paper or posted on a lamp post or telephone pole at the corner of the street. If you really want to work from home, find a, well-known legitimate company and see if they offer telecommuting positions. One such I have discovered recently is Convergys

If you wish to pursue a work-at-home offer, you have seen advertised somewhere, I insist, that you take a few precautions, find out at least, the real name and phone number of the company, that all listed phone numbers are real phone numbers, do a reverse directory look up, and check the company with the Better Business Bureau in your area. Check out if anyone has already complained about them to the Rip-off Report. Also type the name of the business and the word “scam.” In Google and Yahoo and see what comes up, of course, people say unflattering things and have individual bad personal experiences with many a good company, but if you uncover page after page of complaints about the business, you will know at the very least to proceed with extreme caution, if not, not to proceed at all, would be my advice.

LETS WORK IN OUR PJS

Welcome to my blog!  For anyone wondering about my blog title…Pajamas, Pacis and Projects completely typifies my life as a Home-Working Mom. 

Pajamas refers to those things everyone assumes we wear all day long while we work from home (Okay, it sometimes happens, but hey, they’re just envious that we have that option!), and while the little ones are little it happens WAY more than anyone wants to see, but almost any Mom can attest to that fact! 

The Paci part…a paci is…it is an abbreviation for pacifier, another word for binky or Nuk.  The infamous tool that allows a Home-Working Mom to become the Supreme Multi-tasker.  Working (typing one-handed of course), while calming and caring for baby (paci in mouth!), while talking to client on the phone and hoping client cannot hear baby sucking on paci loudly albeit contentedly. (Think Maggie Simpson!) 

Projects of course refers to the work!  Crazy deadlines, long hours, balancing work/family, all sounds familiar, right?  But becomes even more chaotic when you work where you live.  Work hours versus home hours, cell phones in diaper bags, children answering phones (Yup, doesn’t matter they haven’t spoken their first word yet!), all while cranking out the work that keeps this crazy existence in existence!  Oh, did I mention the lack of sleep, mommy-brain and lack of sleep? (This was NOT a typo!)  Hence the OH MY!

Home-based businesses are storming the business scene.  There are more than 35 million home-based businesses in the United States!  And the majority of them are being started by women.  Many are moms, are expecting, or are planning to become moms in the not too distant future and want to be home with their babies/children.   

It’s my intent that Pajamas, Projects and Paci’s – Oh My!  provide a little help, provoke thought and deliver humor to the largest growing sector of business within the United States – the Home-Working Mom.

Glad to have you along for the ride!

WORKING IN PJS IS THE WAY TOO GO

So, I’ve just done the morning routine, showered, moisturized, dressed and put on makeup.  I’ve poured my cup of coffee and sat down at my desk to start the day.  What am I wearing to work today you wonder??  Well, only the most fabulous perfect pair of flannel pajama pants from Frankie & Johnny with my perfect white long sleeved tee.  Today, I’ve chosen the pretty mint green  “Snow Bunnies”  which are so fresh and happy.  No, they weren’t crumbled up in the bottom of my closet.  They were clean, folded and ready for work!

WORK AT HOME JOB OPPORTUNITIES

Work at home job opportunities have become more and more popular in recent years. In fact, the United States Department of Labor believes that by the year 2025 up to two-thirds of all Americans could be working from home. Many will be employed by companies using work from home workers; while numerous others will have started their own work at home jobs.

Currently, there are more than 52 million home-based workers in North America. There are lots of companies which provide work at home job opportunities. People can join their affiliate programs, advertise their products and services and earn commissions. As most of their products and services can be advertised online, affiliates can work from home using their personal computer and through advertising at online resources like pay per click search engines and make money.

These companies have made thousands of people financially free and self employed. This may encourage you to join one of these affiliate programs and start working at home …BUT be careful.

You can join a scam work at home job opportunity, lose a lot of money, waste a lot of time and receive several spam emails and unsolicited phone calls. This can be a bad memory from your first experience or maybe the last one.

If you would like to start working from home, you MUST know the differences between a reliable and legitimate work at home job and a scam one:

A reliable work at home job opportunity …

HOW TO HELP YOU CHILD IN SCHOOL

How to Help Your Child

Kids whose parents are involved in their education do better in school!

They make better grades, score higher on standardized tests, and are more likely to graduate from high school and college. Kids with involved parents also have higher self-esteem, a more positive attitude, and better behavior.

So how can you get involved?

1. Listen and talk to your kids. Ask your child everyday how was their school day was. Allow them to express their feelings and opinions about school. Pay attention to what they say. Are they happy at school? Do they say negative things about other children? Do they have friends? Do they like their teachers? If you keep the lines of communication open, your children are more likely to talk to you when a problem arises.

 

2. Read to your kids. Get every member of the family a library card and visit the library often. Make time for pleasure reading. Ask your kids questions about books they like. Talk about the characters and illustrations.

 

3. Help with homework, but do not do the work for your kids. Make sure that your kids have a quiet place and enough time to do their work. Turn off the TV and radio. If you have a good attitude towards their assignments, it helps your children to have one too. Acknowledge your child’s progress and hard work regularly

 

4. Talk to your child’s teachers. Don’t wait until there is a problem. The more you know about your children’s teachers and school, the more you can help them get a good education. Try to attend school functions often.

 

5. Help out at school. Kids whose parents are involved in some way at their school get the message that school is something worth working for. There are lots of ways to participate: volunteer in the classroom and for special events, field trips, join the PTO, attend school board meetings, call the principal and ask how you can help.

6. Make sure the child has daily supplement vitamins and get the toxin out of the home.  make sure they have healthy food before and after school to help the brain.

WORKING FROM HOME

Working at home….What’s your motivation?

Most of us have a definate reason for wanting to work from home.  There is something or someone that motivates us into wanting a change in our lives.

Many times it’s having a baby and wanting to stay home and raise that child.  I don’t think anyone wants to take their children to daycare and work eight or more hours a day and be away from them.  Maybe it’s the economy and childcare is just too expensive.  Everyone is complaining about gas prices along with everything else rising in price.  No one can afford to go to work or send the kids to daycare.  It could be the fact that you are just tired of making someone else rich.  It’s hard to swallow the reality that everything you work so hard for, benefits someone else and not you.  Some people like their jobs and just need extra money for bills or for having fun.

So many of us just like the idea of working from home and being in control of our lives, how much we make, when to work, how much to work, when to take off or go on vacation.

No matter what the motivation, it’s a fact that more and more people, thousands daily, are turning away from traditional jobs and working from home.  We all are looking for a change in our lives and this can definately be the vehicle that takes us there.

AUTISM AND THE WELLNESS COMPANY PRODUCTS HERE TO HELP

Subject: Autism and THE WELLNESS COMPANY products

When you have valuable information, it’s important to share it with those you love and care about…

It’s been a while since I’ve updated you all on our progress. As you may recall, our son Tony (who is now 13 yrs old) is autistic. Autism is a developmental disability that impacts normal development of the brain in the area of social interaction and communication skills.

Autism is a difficult thing to understand. Doctors and experts still do not know everything there is to know. Yet, as a parent of an autistic child, that’s exactly what you want—to know everything so you can fix it. There are still many mysteries surrounding autism. The most important thing to remember through it all is that there is hope. Autism isn’t a death sentence. There have been many advancements in the last few years and many autistic children have gone on to lead wonderful, rich lives. So, if you are a parent of an autistic child, do what I do… take a deep breath and say quietly to yourself every day: “There is Hope”.

Sadly, Autism is far too common. Autism effects 1 in 250 births, and is three to four times more prevalent in boys than girls. This means that 1.5 million Americans are believed to have some form of autism. No one knows what causes Autism.
Children and adults with autism typically experience difficulty with:
· communication, both verbal and nonverbal.
· making and maintaining consistent eye contact with others.
· attention span.
· social skills. Autistic people have a strong propensity toward exclusive activities.
· routines or repetitive behaviors, i.e. obsessively repeating words or body movements, or arranging belongings in a very specific way.
· self-help skills, such as toileting, feeding, dressing, brushing teeth, etc.
One person with autism may have very different symptoms and behaviors than another. Because of these differences, doctors now think of autism as a “spectrum” disorder, or a group of disorders with a range of similar features. A person with mild autistic symptoms is at one end of the spectrum. A person with severe symptoms is at the other end of the spectrum. Because of this, autism is now often called autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Although no one day is the same, I can say that every day is a journey. Please share this information with your friends, neighbors, business associates, and anyone who’s life may be touched by autism. Most will say their lives are good, even with this disorder in their lives… but some of us can say our lives are GREAT and we have the help of some fantastic products that are allowing our children to heal their bodies from the inside out. I’m proud to say that Tony is currently medication-free and is progressing every single day. We realize that we still have a long road ahead of us. THE WELLNESS COMPANY has also allowed me to work from home for the past 5 years. So, when “life” happens, I can always count on my strong, residual income. And the best news is, it’s only going to get better!
Here are just a few of the ways that THE WELLNESS COMPANY products can enhance the lives of autistic children:
1. GET RID OF ALL TOXINS IN THE HOME. I can not stress how important this is. Convert your home to THE WELLNESS COMPANY EcoSense products. These kids have a very, very low tolerance to chemicals and it affects their behavior. Their behavior is very unpredictable — at any age. Getting rid of poisonous household products will reduce the stress load in your lives.
2. Take full doses of the supplement products daily. If your child can not swallow pills, give him/her 1 chewable of the  chldern daily supplements  for every 25 lbs. If your child can swallow pills, give him/her the daily supplement Gold packets or the suplplement for Life packets. Get as much as you can into their system! There are no other vitamins on the market with this PATENTED DELIVERY PROCESS called Fructose Compounding. It allows the minerals to be absorbed at the cellular level. Now, getting your child to take these vitamins may not always be easy, and they won’t always want to take them all… but remember: autism is a creature of habit. Once you establish this as a habit, you are home free! Don’t give up! It is VERY worth the fight! It’s up to YOU to create this habit.
3. Take 3-4 capsules of another supplement Plus daily. This will alleviate allergy symptoms all year round and allow them to concentrate. It’s also used to help symptoms of ADD/ADHD and other behavioral issues. Due to the super antioxidants in the Provex line, this will allow you to stop any/all allergy medications over time and with the help of your physician.
4. Take 4-6  of the supplement daily. Research shows that Omega-3’s are brain food. In 1995, researchers reported that children with ADHD and similar behavioral problems had significantly lower concentrations of key fatty acids. Additional support comes from evidence that low plasma omega-3 levels in boys are associated with behavior problems, temper tantrums, sleep disorders plus focus and learning challenges. There’s also many clinical trials that have reported using a fish oil supplement in children with autism or Asperger’s Syndrome. The great news it that supplement has both fish oil and Omega-3’s! We have seen an incredible language burst and conversation skills while using this product.
5. Use cleaning products  for bath time. Tony will still swallow the bath water at times, and now I don’t have to worry about the chemicals in bubble bath or any other bath product. our cleaning products  is wonderfully soothing and it leaves his skin baby soft, due to the natural properties of tea tree  oil. It’s inexpensive and makes tons of bubbles in the tub. Baths are Tony’s “escape” or relaxing time — and he is known to take 3-4 baths a day sometimes.
6. Use pain relief  lotion at bedtime. This not only calms him, but it helps him breathe easier. I apply it to his chest, his legs and even his feet. He loves it! It’s great for his sensory needs. It has a warming effect (due to the penetration of the actual tea tree oil the product) and has a nice, calming smell.
7. Spray bedding/pillows everyday with diluted mu-til purpose cleaning products. This will kill dust mites, mold, mildew and other hidden germs that can “fog” their brain. (Again, it’s the natural fungicide properties of the tra tree  oil in this products that kills mold and mildew on contact)
Parents of autistic children are looking for a better quality of life for their child, whom they love and adore just as any other child. If you know someone who’s touched by autism, please take the time to introduce them to THE WELLNESS COMPANY. They will thank you, I promise you that. These simple, inexpensive changes have made all the difference in our little corner of the world. Thank you, THE WELLNESS COMPANY!
