Is FreelanceHomeWriters.com A Scam?
Freelancehomewriters.com claims to show you a variety of ways to make money online by writing. Allegedly you get access to job listings that you can view by paying a monthly membership fee of $47. However they give you a 7 day trial period for $2.95. But you need to cancel it or you’ll be charged $47 per month. I appreciate the fact that they’re upfront about this on their website. So you’re not surprised like so many of those Google Money Scams that are betting you’ll forget so they can make easy money off you.
According to Freelancehomewriters.com “Thousands of smart people just like you are already bringing in an easy $1,000, $2,000…even as much as $5,000 every single week just by doing this easy writing in their spare time…and now it’s your turn!” So the fee basically covers all the easy article writing job leads you’ll get. Then like magic you’ll be able to make all this money by writing a few paragraphs here and there.
Freelancehomewriters.com goes on to say it doesn’t matter how good you are at writing either, “The writing tasks you’ll be doing will be so easy an 8 year old child could do them…”
Oh Really?
Something smells fishy…
Okay now I know something ain’t right with these people. If an 8 year old can make all this money by writing a few articles then how come everyone and their mother isn’t doing this? Why leave your house to go to that 9-5 job when you can just write all day and make up to $5,000 a week? It just doesn’t make any type of sense.
How Freelance Article Writing Usually works.
1. An employer posts a writing job on a freelance site such as: elance.com, scriptlance.com, etc.
2. Usually the employer states how much they’re willing to pay.
3. You browse for freelance writing jobs.
4. If you’re interested in bidding on one of the many jobs listed there, you register to be a freelancer which usually requires a small fee.
5. Then you make your job offer.
6. Other freelancers do the same.
7. The employer then compares the freelancers offers (How much you’ve offered to do the job for), profile (Sort of like a resume) and feedback (sort of like references from other people that have hired you on the site)
That’s the process folks. At the end of the day, it’s still up to you to bid on a job, meet the qualifications, and negotiate the pay in the field of freelance writing.
Math isn’t adding up…
So keeping in mind the freelance writing process, I’m extremely skeptical as to how Freelancehomewriters.com can validate their outrageous income claims. The problem with freelance websites especially for Americans is that you’re competing against people all over the world that can afford to do the work you do cheaper. This isn’t because they’re trying to under cut Americans. It’s because their cost of living is cheaper than you. Now, can they write English as well as you? In most cases, no they can’t. Well they may be able to write better than me since I’m notorious for bad grammar and spelling mistakes, but I digress. In any event, like everything in life there are exceptions to the rule. But I would venture to say when it comes to English freelance writing, you might have a slight advantage. However easily making up to $5000 per week is just not feasible especially not at the freelance job sites. Personally I would be more inclined to see what they have to offer if they gave realistic numbers such as earning $50-$100 per week. That is totally feasible from my experience. But the claims of $5000 a week just writing articles at freelance sites is just unrealistic. This is feasible as a work at home affiliate. But trust me there is a lot more to it then just writing articles. So knowing this I already know that this company is misleading folks or misrepresenting the legitimate career of affiliate marketing.
So what are the complaints against FreelanceHomeWriters.com?
Well the one that seems worth mentioning and most important is that when you try to contact the site, you are unable to get in touch with anyone who can refund your money. When you authorize your account to be debited for the $2.95 trial, an additional $49.95 fee is deducted as well. In some cases people were charged $97.00 exactly on the seventh day. I can’t tell you how many complaints I came across on people canceling before the trial period was up and them being charged anyway. There have been so many people that have tried get a refund. Some have been successful but sadly most weren’t. So that begs the question, if Freelanacehomewriters.com is such a great company that you can easily make money with, then why are there so many refund request? And worst still, why aren’t they being honored? Well if you haven’t figured it out, it’s because you can’t easily earn $5000 week writing articles! Period.
Fight Back!!
So If you or someone you know has fallen victim to Freelancehomewriters.com, feel free to harass them through email support@freelance-home-writers.com. Some people were able to get there money back by being persistent with sending them emails. You may also want to hit them up by telephone 1-800-750-7660, select option 3 and you will get a person. Now if that doesn’t work because so many people are calling them, then I would suggest calling your credit card company and inform them that this was a fraudulent transaction and have them reverse the charges. At the end of the day, you want these guys to be on record with tons of complaints because they may lose their merchant accounts which is needed to process payments. If they can’t process payments they can’t operate.
Conclusion
If you haven’t figured it out, I would recommend that you avoid this company in my humble opinion. Like so many of the work at home products, they are guilty of misleading people. If you’re interested in writing for a living, I would encourage you to skip these middlemen & head straight to various freelance sites such as Guru.com, Elance.com, AssociatedContent.com, etc. As always just do your research especially when money is involved or outrageous claims of income are being made. Work At Home Scams are pretty easy to figure out when you do your research and just use your common sense.
As always if you’re looking for a real traditional work at home job visit our work at home companies page. Keep in mind with traditional work at home jobs, the competition is very fierce and it’s almost like trying to hit a jackpot. However you can make money right now with some non-traditional opportunities like the ones listed on my recommendations page. Good luck to you either way and avoid paying for these nonsense work at home products that are making crazy claims that just don’t sound right. We all have natural instincts that protect us. If you’re going through an opportunity and start getting this funny feeling as you’re reading the material that this just seems to good to be true, that’s your instincts telling you this is BS. Follow it and you’ll avoid a lot of heart ache. It’s that simple.

Work From Home with WorkAtHomeNoScams.com
Okay so as promised I’ve come up with a new work at home contest.
There have been so many of you who have commented about how much you love my little ole blog. For most of you it has either helped you avoid scams, find legitimate work at home opportunities or consider a new career path. Many of you have even gone so far as to share my site with your mamas, sisters, "ray ray & them", friends and/or acquaintances. Needless to say, you have my deepest appreciations for doing this.
But let’s face it, my heart felt thanks ain’t doing diddly for you. Yeah, yeah it’s cool and all, but I think you would rather see my appreciation in the form of the Benjamins, aka cold hard cash. So It’s time for you to get paid for spewing all that good WorkAtHomeNoScams.com propaganda across the web. lol Until further notice, every month I will select 3 people to win $100 each.
Here’s How This Contest Will Work.
– A valid paypal account is required so I can pay you.
(Unfortunately, If your country isn’t one of Paypal’s approved locations I can’t pay you.)
– You need to be a an active subscriber of this blog.
(I’ll be announcing the winner ever month on this blog so you should be on my list to get your money!)
– You need to spread the word about WorkAtHomeNoScams.com
(We’ve included some approved and recommended methods below.)
– You must post a comment on this page detailing all your promotion activities.
(You must include the links of places you’ve mentioned us. You can update us as often as you like.)
- At the end of the month 3 winners will be chosen to receive $100 each via paypal and announced on this blog.
Why Are We Doing This?
"Whatcha" mean why? Are you questioning free money? I bet you were one of those kids that would raise their hand and ask the teacher why we weren’t getting homework today! If you must know, obviously the goal of this contest is to give our little hole in the wall a lot of exposure. But more importantly, it’s about rewarding our loyal subscribers that continue to support this blog and spread the love. At the end of the day we all win.
So the more promoting you do (which should be documented in the comments below), the better your chances of winning. The great thing about this is that every month (until further notice), 3 of our loyal subscribers will get a chance to win. This should really give everyone a fair shot. So if you don’t win one month, you may still have a chance the following month.
We’ve also made it pretty easy to increase your chances of winning by providing you with various ways to enter below that AREN’T limited to one platform. But feel free to brainstorm your own. Just don’t run around spamming people! If you think a mention is appropriate in a given situation then do it. But if it’s not, please don’t force the situation to increase your chances of winning. Because trust me, it will have the opposite effect.
Examples of Good Entries
Here’s an example of an entry that qualifies to win: "Hi Eddy, I’ve posted a comment on the mylot.com on the following page: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1877269.aspx"
The following is an example of an entry that WON’T qualify to win: "Hi Eddy, I’ve posted a comment in Mylot.com" "Hey Eddy, I’ve emailed my friends about you" "Hey Eddy, I’ve told my friends about you."
The second examples are not good entries for a number reasons. One, you need to provide the website address (URL) that you mentioned us not just the homepage of the site. This is just a matter of visiting the exact page you mentioned our site and copy the exact address. Two, Word of mouth & email referrals are nice but there is no way I can verify that you’ve done them except that you told me so.
So stick with making referrals on website pages and provide the EXACT page where you made the reference not just the homepage!
