Angel pins scammers, they are back!!!
About 7 years ago, I was trying to find an at home business I could do part time to help me in conjunction with my full time employment save for an overseas migration. I came across Angel Pin Creations through an ad in a local paper. I checked out their website and they seemed legitimate. They were even a member of the Better Business Bureau - an association in the United States which I feel aren't at all particular in who they let in! I ordered a kit and made my first pin hoping for approval. I soon realized that this was never going to happen. First time I submitted the pin, I was sure I would be approved; I mean, the thing looked identical to the sample. The company sent it back saying some crap about how the bodice was wrong then I tried it again and I was sure there was no way you could fault it.in fact, if I had a choice of which angel to spend money on it would have been mine! Again I was rejected. The last time I tried it took me about 4 hours to get the angel right, so if they had actually accepted my pin I would have only been able to make a couple a week and have been paid around $10 for a total of 20 hours work!!! It was very obvious they made their money by getting your start up cash. I grew tied of their crap and moved on. I moved from my native New Zealand (oh yes, the scam is global!) to my new home in sunny Australia. That is where I thought the sad story ended. Just 2 weeks ago I stumbled on a site that led me to an "assemble angel pins at home" banner. I am sincerely hoping that this site is not run by any of the original idiots who preyed on so many years ago or some other bastard who is trying to pick up where they have left off. To be on the safe side, I plead with all of you out there reading this from where ever you are in the world, that these people (and I use that term very loosely - I think you need a beating heart to be one) are scammers and are not the answer to your money issues. The recession has hit us all hard and forced many of us into desperate situations but I firmly I believe there is a special place in hell for those who prey on people at their weakest. As for me, I am happy with my current position and even though I have a long commute, I have job security. As for jobs from home, a friend of mine got a telecomuting human resources job through a job recruitment site advertised on the CNN website. They have a lot of applications due to them being one of the very few legitimate sites, you have to interview the same as a normal job and it took her months to get the job she wanted but she is now happy working her own hours from home. I hope some of this is helpful.
