I actually found this company on Jobvertise. So, I went to the site and read the entire site. The basics of this company is (this is what it reads on the site):
"Live anywhere in the U.S. Or selected countries that we offer employment to and work for any company we have listed.
We will provide you with all the information you need regarding jobs available.including job requirements and complete contact information.
You will work from your home as an independent Virtual Assistant/Home Contractor or direct employee.
Outsourcing of work benefits these companies financially while providing an excellent opportunity for those who want to work from home."
So, after reading i came upon this:
Why is there a Fee?
We have to cover our expenses in recruiting individuals, processing their applications, and for our services in order to get you the best assignments/work orders from the vast majority of top companies around the country. Compare us to other staffing firms they take a percentage of your pay for the duration of your employment with their clients That's a lot of money! You are working to receive pay not to work to have an agency take a portion of your earnings. We do not take any part of your earnings, We only require a low one time non-refundable fee of only $24.95 and there are no other fees incurred upon you by our company.
But, on another part of the site it states this:
There is a "One Time Non-Refundable Fee" of $24.95 to begin. This cost will cover the training information/website access code for you to receive all Work orders/Assignments from Our top variety of corporations that will be emailed to you. Once you process your very first work order/assignment you will have made back this fee "GUARANTEED or we will refund your money back"!
So, I filled out the online application and I paid the $24.95 via my credit card. I emailed the company and let them knew that I paid the $24.95 and I hadn't received anything at all. I had emailed them three times and then finally they sent me an email back with a website to access. Well, the website didn't work. So, I emailed them back like five times to let them know and I even told them to refund my money, that they were a scam.
And till this day, I haven't heard anything from the company. The haven't emailed me back or nothing. I was so desperate to find a work at home job, I became completely blind to the fact that this could be a scam. I know you should never pay to work. But, I didn't look at it that way.
So, to everyone who comes across Westwood Virtual Staffing, PLEASE PLEASE don't fall victim to this scam.
