Work for free today

People have to be really stupid to fall for bullshit advertisements like this but I saw at least one person whining “I paid my money, I did the work and I didn’t get paid”. Really?? You would be smart to try READING before you spend money. However, since I like to give even the most idiotic questionable work at home site the benefit of the doubt, I decided to do some digging around on my own. You first saw my write up in our last post about fake work at home jobs that cost plenty. Well, I found one on the same site that is even more egregious than this one (go figure).
Scam artists
This company claims to be an outsourcing company that assembles jobs and offers them out. What’s fascinating about this scam  I’m reviewing called “10 minute job work” is the requirements.  They run under the name "Rackspace Outsourcing" (note this link goes to the BBB) which is funny in the extreme.  The website names are all over the place and some are located in the US, others in Canada and still others in India.

Upfront payment

First it’s laughable that you would have to pay someone to secure a job. There are plenty of sites like oDesk for example where you can register for online jobs and not pay a dime. This particular scam site claims to be offering specific jobs such as “10 minute jobs” which is giggle worthy – but if you are looking for 10 minute jobs (which are called micro-tasks by the way) you’d be better off reviewing Crowd Cloud which also does not charge a fee and you can do as many or as few as you’d like to do and get paid DAILY. Guess what – they don’t charge anything for registration either.

This bunch of scumbags site requires that you pay something — of course it’s not really evident how much you are paying since the “plan” requires a payment of $99 while their FAQs say it’s $55. Either way you are getting screwed ripped off.
Required tasks per month

Now what I find really laughable about this is that there is a minimum requirement of how many tasks you must complete in a month. Keeping in mind that these asshole scumbags representatives are telling you that each task should take 10 minutes, you can easily extrapolate how much you could accomplish in a 40 hour work week. Their expectations?

You have to submit A MINIMUM of 500 tasks in a month that you are going to be paid the princely sum of $3 each for. Let’s take that a bit further shall we? 500 tasks at 10 minutes each (500X10) is
5000 minutes. If you divide that by 30 days in a month, it’s about 3 hours per day which may not sound horrific but you get paid at $3 for each one that they “accept” (heaven help you if you miss!). So if you can do 6 per hour, you can earn $18 per hour (not too bad for working at home) assuming that you don’t make a single mistake and they reject your work!

But wait, it gets better! 

That’s not the best part: If for any reason you fail to complete 500 items in a month, you don’t get paid for the ones you do complete! So you can work for free too. While one part of the website states that you can carry your earnings over to the next month, another section says you cannot. Now I’m not too sure how these scumbags people operate, but I can tell you that there is NO reason to pay $99 and inherit a 12 month commitment to a company that can’t even write proper English. The explanation of why they are scamming people charging you to register is laughable in the extreme (warning seriously bad wording).
"Why do you charge registration fees if its a genuine Job?Simply Providing a job doesn’t make a sense, in today’s time everyone wants things in a flash, whether its a job work, servers, earning details or support. To provide all these things there is a backend office or support systems which covers all these things and makes sure you don’t get any problem, whether its loading of work, real time earning statistics, email support or chat support. Customer satisfaction is the first priority in today’s business world, so what we are providing with a small administrative charges." Also as explained it incurs administrative charges, and another valid reason is to avoid
spamworkers and hackers from entering our server. If we keep things free, daily millions of people visit our site and in a matter of few hrs all jobs will be over, and who knows who is the real job worker and it makes worst while distributing the job work. So to avoid all these, a paid member makes us comfort in believing to be a real worker.
So you are only a “real worker” if you are willing to turn $99 over to this bunch of crooks. The site claims that they are based out of New York and out of India (more likely some idiot told them that if they listed India only they’d stand less of a chance of conning people). However, the BBB in New York connects to the BBB in Chicago IL and they have a warning on them (oh I’m shocked). I’m not done with online-home-jobs, there are plenty more scams offers on their site and each one is worse than the next one. I contend that if this site of scumbags was real then someone would be reaching out to me. I don’t believe their bogus counter claiming how much money people are earning because I think that the only one who might be earning something is the scumbag site owner when people get conned into sending them money to “register” for their scam online-home-jobs.

Be careful! There are no fewer than 10 companies that have identical information on them and if you are unfortunate enough to run into one of them, you too could be conned.  Copyscape shows the following sites that have the same information in the registration data:
