Bad Customer Service=Mad moose forum members

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

My work, with New Works has allowed me access into the New Works Madmoose forum. This has provided a new platform for me to communicate and gossip about work at home ideas.

Although I tag this forum as one of my favorite forums, I must admit that each time I visit….it is like walking into a battlefield, and not being able to find the origin of the battle. The battle progresses from hiring unqualified workers, showing favortism, unfair hiring practices, to just plain bad customer service skills.

The root of these problems stem from one work at home company on the forum that have contracted workers, including myself, to work from home, performing such task as: latch hooking rugs, cutting patterns, article writing, and alot of other jobs that I will not post until I am more sure.

Many workers including myself have tried without success to contact them in order to find out an update on their particular job. I have contacted them on behalf of pay that I have not received. Other forum members have contacted them regarding that status of refund request that were supposely approved. The situation with this company has created a forum of very mad, madmoose members.

Remember that there is power in numbers, so if you have had an experience with this company, if you have run across a bad review of this company, or even if you know someone that has had a bad experience, be sure to post here and ***LINK*** to the bad review or post, so that others will know. This will help to spread the word.

Agloco News

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

Today, as I was browsing my favorite work at home forum I noticed one of the members advertising Agloco, a company that is offering it’s members the opportunity to earn money and become shareholders just for downloading and viewing the surfbar.

I recalled seeing this company and signing up with them last year, although I did not give very much attention to them, due to the fact that some 7 or 8 years ago, I was an active worker with All Advantage and Spedia. com, which were the first two companies to bring this concept to the internet, before they later fell by the wayside.

Today, as I made my way around the internet I spotted yet another article on this company, written by scam busters. After revisiting the forum, making a post and contacting the Agloco member from the forum, I decided to download the bar just to see what all the hype was about.

Supposely, a 5X5 downline, all surfing with the viewbar a minimum of 5 hours per month, can earn you about $4,886.25 according to the company’s member calculator. As of August 23, 2007, this viewbar has only been released to a few and has only been out for 90 days. Talk about groundfloor!!!!

Well, it’s now sitting here at the bottom of my screen as I write this blog, leaving me a bit unsure if I will market this program or just review it for my blog. I will however provide you with bAnderson’s link & hope you will take some time to ask her more about it when you visit the forum.

Characteristics of a good work at home craft program

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

     Yes, there are at least 2% of the work at home craft programs that are not scams.  The hardest job for us, is being able to differentiate between the two, because intent can not be seen.  Intent is not a visible quality that can be seen in order to clue us in on the true intent of any business.

     Example:

     Consider I make potholders and sell them to local vendors.  I just received a large contract and I have no way of producing the amount needed, in the given time.  So, I decided to subcontract the work and buy all the supplies to make these potholders, but I fear that you may run off with my materials and leave me in worst condition then when I began.  So, I ask you to give me the cost of the supplies as insurance.  (better known in the work at home business as A Registration Free)

 What exactly is my intent????

Work at home programs designed to Scam

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

Work at home programs fall under many categories and today, I will be focusing on the work-at-home craft program, such as the one (christian prayer rugs) we will be focusing on in this upcoming month.

In my professional opinion, 98% of ALL craft and assembly work at home programs are created to ensure that independent contractors fail. These so-called opportunities are usually intended to wear out a worker though offering some, time consuming or tedious work production, in exchange for a ridiculously low pay, or better yet…..offering you an opportunity that has to meet company specification. What exactly is the companies specifications???? you should be asking.

It is very important that we read and educate ourselves, before handing anyone a so-called registration fee in exchange for working for them. Read, Research and educate yourself.

Welcome to Critic’s Corner!

Monday, August 27th, 2007

Welcome, and thank you for visiting my little corner of the world.  While you are here, I would like to ask that you please take a moment and review the “about me” section, in order to get a better understanding of what this blog was created to do.

As a former work at home program designer, I have accepted this opportunity to share with you the in’s and outs of many work at home scams and programs purposely designed to mislead the consumer.  Many of these programs were created using techniques and tactics designed specifically to undermine and lure, trusting work at home & opportunity seekers out of their hard earned money.

The first work at home opportunity that we will be exposing in the coming weeks, is a fairly new internet company seeking refuge in the shadows of Christianity.  

Although I have read many different opinions on this company, I expect that you will join me, and share you views honestly here.
