Sometimes I just wonder . . . .

Everywhere you look on the internet you see people crying "scam" or "rip-off" in reference to the Type-At-Home bizopp.

There seem to be two major or most common reasons for this.

First, the people don't read the ad copy. I have never seen anything spelled out so clearly as this ad copy which tells you exactly what you will be doing. They even show you pictures. But people don't read and they don't think. Are they idiots? Are they victims of our culture and education system? Are they not taught to understand what they are reading? That used to be called "reading comprehension" but maybe that is not taught anymore. Do they want everything handed to them? Done for them? One person actually understood that she would be placing ads but posted that she thought they would tell her what to say - give her the words - and she would just type those words in. If companies are going to do all that, what do they need her for?

But I digress.

Many people who sign up and then cry foul because they don't read the ad copy don't even get as far as the person mentioned above. They think someone will supply them with something to type into something else. There are jobs like that but pay piece work and are part time at best.

It is not the fault of Type At Home if people can't understand what they read.

The other major cause of the scam and rip-off cries involves e-mail filters. Many providers prevent any communication either to or from these companies or their servers. So when people who sign up then ask for either assistance or a refund they get no response because the e-mail went nowhere. That never occurs to them so they blame Type At Home.

If you are interested in signing up for Type At Home or any other such bizopp, do yourself a great favor and get a Gmail account for your e-mail communications. Put Type At Home (or whoever) in your address book. Then at least you know messages will go through.
