What are some of the scams you've found?

Hi Cheryl--I am looking for information on 2 things--any legitimate jewelry companies that pay you to do jewelry at home and sell back to them--NOT disciples cross, and, is Valeries Hattery a legitimate crafts at home company?

Posts regarding Valieries Hattery are very old.

Thanks for any info you can provide!

The following are either no longer in business or scams.


Wine Keepers
Tiny Details Christian Miniatures
Creative Crafters
Artisan Corp.
Edie's Elephants
Elk Creek Case Company
Bellas Beads
Capital Crafts
Homespun Products
Windrift was bought out by someone else &amp; is very questionable
Carson Valley Gifts
Telereach
The Flower Workshop
LeJac
Cottage Industries
Desert Designs
Crazy Mountain Wrist Rings is very questionable


There is more in the old crafting wahms folder if you follow the link in the post above to that folder. There is a LOT of info on many crafting companies, so be sure to look through everything, and also do your own research on top of what you read. If I can find Chers big list ofcompanies that are scams (that was where the post above was supposed to go to..dont' know what happened there) I will copy paste the info here for everyone.
Someone in this updated folder said that Desert Designs has been cleared with the BBB so MAYBE they are legit now....do your research. I am just posting this to try to help others.[img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]

I use to work for Windrift Products,it was an awesome Company to work for that paid! I hated it when they sold out! Really wished I could find another legit Company like Windrift was..I really liked making the log cabins! If anyone runs across something to this effect please post it here.thank you..
