I would stay away...far away! They do not have a good BBB file. The owner has other business with bad reputations as well.

Hi again, If you have heard of Robert Bell this is one of his creations. I don't know how it stayed around this long. Robert Bell scams people big time. I have been taken by him twice.

I have never been apart of any of his scams, but I have seen his name (and his businesses) all over the Internet as scams. I highly suggest staying away from anything associated with him.

I just want to let you know that typeinternational might very well be a scam, infact id say its a downright scam now that I realise Robert Bell is behind it. You might remember his other so called work from home programs 'clerical gear' 'clerical secretary' 'weekly typing' and most recently 'dailywage' I joined ALL of these opportunities and ALL of them were scams, I truly believed I was going to make money with them and I cant believe how nieve I was especially with dailywage which I am still very hurt over. Anyway point is ROBERT BELL IS A SCAMMER!!!!

Hi! I have worked for them for about 3 months and have always been paid on time. I have definitely made back my registration fee. I have heard some things about Robert but I have never had a problem with him. Maybe b/c I have never had to correspond with him personally. LOL!! But anyway this is just my personal experience. Just something to make a little extra money until I get my home business going!! Hopefully!!

Sorry forgot to write this in my first post, I have never had anything to do with the other companies listed in this post but I have gotten money with Type International.

I have a very hard time believing that. I personally think that you work WITH them, not FOR them. You are the first and only person I have ever heard that has not been ripped off by them.

That's ok if you don't believe me but its true. I have been ripped off countless times and I don't like it so I would never say it if it wasn't true. And I don't work with them. I just signed up three months ago and from what I've seen it has been around for longer than that. But once again this is just my personal experience. Also I want to say that I am NOT trying to endorse them or get anyone to sign up but just stating my experience with Type International with regards to the first question in this post.

Hi, Getting paid $12 for posting 200 ads on different web sites to get other people to pay the fee and sign up is not my idea of a legit job. However if it works for you fine but I would rather have an honest job that pays better. chers

Well I do agree that the pay is not very good but I am making a little extra which is why I am doing it. Every little bit helps, IMO, until I can find something else. I understand everyones side about this company though.

I find it very hard to believe that typeinternational is legitimate when his other countless opportunities (some of which I mentioned earlier in this post) were all scams, sorry I just dont but it. Ill never trust that snake again.

Hi everybody, I just ike to say from personal experience Typeinternational is a scam. I joined them in November of 2004 and was told in the prejoining forum that I can easily make $400.00 per week. (as some of you know this is an adplcing job). I placed 600 ads in a 6 day period. You turn in your reports to your assignments on Monday's. I had 5 reports to turn in 1 had 200 ads and the rest 100 ads each. Red flag #1: When I turned in my reports I only received a confirmation email on one of them I had to email back and forth to get the rest. Red Flag #2: Coincidentally Robert Bell the owner and only person with access to our pay goes into the hospital. I didn't care I didn't want to hear it I kept emailing and posting in the forum that I wanted my money I have my own problems. I didn't want to hear someone elses. Red Flag #3: After 3.5 weeks of complaining I received a portion of my pay but to the wrong assignment numbers. What I mean is assignment 1 and 2 only added up to $35.00. So they sent me $35.00 but put assignment 4 and 5 which did not add up to $35.00. Red Flag #4: I emailed immediately with the mistake and was told to wait another week to catch up with payroll Robert Bell had a lot of catching up to do since he was out of the hospital. Red Flag #5: After the week past I emailed again since no one got to me. I was told Robert had paid me in full and that he had the paypal receipts to prove it. I replied by stating I can show them screen shots of my paypal account and all my money has not arrived. It took me in total 4.5 weeks to get paid for something I was supposed to get paid for after 1 week. I spent more time trying to get paid than I did doing the actual work. Also there is no way someone could make $400.00 in a one week period because thier monthly assignments only add up to slightly over $200.00. I stopped working for them but since the membership was lifetime I kept it active and watched the site and the forums just in case I was wrong the whole time. And to see if things improved or maintained steady watched to see if anyone else was having payroll problems etc... The problems continued. Then they stopped paying weekly and started monthly and by check in the mail not electronically. I asked for a refund. I was ignored. Yeah right like that's going to make me go away.lol. I continued asking for a refund for 3 days I was not rude I was polite but adamant. I was banned from the site. I started doing research pinged the ip, did a whois etc.. etc.. My findings: Typeinternational is actually RBSN Services. Not only do they own Typeinternational but several other work at home sites. One thing that makes me laugh is in thier prejoining forum they boast that they are listed as scam free on a site called scamfreezone.org. Naturally I complained to scamfreezone.org. Red Flag #6: No responce from scamfreezone.org. My complaint is not even listed on the site anywhere. So I whois'd them as well. Guess what, RBSN Services also owns scamfreezone.org. Lmao. I have to laugh because if I don't I will punch my monitor. What I have done: I have complained to the BBB and found that RBSN Services has an "F" rating with them and they are not responding to complaints from the BBB. I complained to consumer affairs and they responded that they do not handle these types of Businesses but they gave me a few places to complain which I will do tomorrow. I'm waiting until tomorrow because while I did my whois's I found Typeinternationals hosting service. So I complained to them.lol. I received a reply almost immediately stating that they have forwarded the emails to RBSN Services and that I should expect a reply today. I am hoping that since I have notified their hosting service that someone will finally open up thier eyes and say hey this guys not giving up. It's only $45.00 what they owe me at this point. But I feel like I have been pushed around by a bully. I have never taken any nonsence from a bully as a kid. I'm sure not going to start now. Anyway I am sorry that this is so long. But if there is anyone out there that is thinking of joining Typeinternational, don't do it. My long story is how you will be treated. Also I would like to add while I was asking for my pay that was owed to me I was written to in emails and in the forums by the admins very rudely. Anyway live and learn I guess. Before I close here I would like to say that I really wish I found this site long ago. I have been checking it out now for about a week. And I have applied to a few companies that I found right here. Keep up the good work. Great site.

WOW. Very well detailed post. Thank you SO much for sharing that so others won't get taken like that. I am so sorry you had to go through that. Take care.

The post from Geo sounds identical to the problems that not only myself buy several others had with CJ. I can say that I have been with Typeinternational for a yr now and not had any problems with them getting my pay to me on time, even when RB was in the hospital I received my pay on time. Guess this just goes to show that we all have our problems with some of these online typing companies.

CJ huh? Is that short for CashJunkies. I was going to join them thinking I would just join a bunch of these add typing places to have full time work but after what happened to me with Typeinternational no way. Besides it was less than part time pay but full time hours. I noticed a lot of these places seem to cater to India I'm not up on world economy but maybe to someone from there it is worth thier while, if it wasn't a scam that is.
