This was not listed as a "work at home" job when I applied. I will not set up a Yahoo account and wait for them to contact me, hence I am not going any further with this job offer thanks to usacomplaints.com. After being unemployed for some time and reading MANY online job openings, my personal thoughts on online job scams are as follows: they probably are to good to be true If the hourly rate they are offering is quite high (see above rate); if the job posting or their response has many typos or grammatical errors; if they cannot be contacted by phone or fax (not email). As of this date, the phone number they had listed in their job posting has been disconnected (a sure sign). Thank you usacomplaints.com for your information.
