Read the thread that says first stop for newbies. Most "jobs" that ask for fees upfront are scams...But you really do need to read the top posts to find out more there is A LOT of really useful info already here regarding what to look out for. hth

I agree that many jobs asking for a registration fee are scams. If a company was really doing that well and really needed people that badly, they wouldn't be charging money.

One thing to make it easier to understand why these "jobs" are smarmy: Keep in mind that you are NOT paying a "company" the fee.. you are paying a website owner who is selling information on how to place ads. Realizing this little fact makes it MUCH easier to keep your money in your pocket.

some legit business ops do have a start up fee. such as arise. but for a rinky dink looking site about data entry etc... it is very much a scam. dont pay to work at a job! they should pay you.

Some times you have to pay for a backround check too but that's different than a registration fee. If its a home biz you most likely will have to pay start up fee's.

Hi,
There is a big effort done at this stage. It shows the exact hard work of the team together.

I agree with the rest of the ladies. Some companies charge for a background check and businesses will have a start up fee but if there is any other fees - be weary.

What companies asked for registration fees? List them and we can probably tell you if it is legit or not.

I agree that some businesses do require start up money. But paying a registration fee for a job or an income opportunity is different. I also totally agree with what you said:
dont pay to work at a job! they should pay you.
Very well put.
