Warning about Tjobs.com!

   Free is not free when it comes to TeleCommuting job searches.

   Thanks to the author for the compliment about tjobs.com: ‘Warning about tjobs.com.’ Unfortunately, a lot of internet viewers are scanners and don’t read past the headlines.

   Now here’s the full story about why tjobs charges.

   We know TeleCommuting — we are working TeleCommuters. Unlike most work at home – and even major – job search sites, our staff screens all job listings based on 11 years of experience posting TeleCommuting jobs. All jobs that trigger past experience with companies requiring payment for jobs, selling products or services, or are business opportunities are not posted.

   We also refuse all advertisers that have outstanding complaints with the BBB or RipoffReport or promote business opportunity profit schemes.

   And, to encourage as many TeleCommuting job listings as possible, we don’t charge employers to post jobs. If we charged for listings, we could not refuse scam job listings since the job posters would have already paid us. This is why you find so many scam job listings at sites that do charge employers for listings. 

   Because we do not send our viewers to possible scam jobs, we are only one of two work at home sites allowed membership with the BBB. Our BBB Reliability Report can be viewed at http://chicago.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Report.aspx?site=46&bbb=0654&firm=88015162

   You’ll find no safer place to pursue TeleCommuting work, but, it will cost you $15 for an annual password to all services.  Given the amount of work our staff puts in to insure safe work at home job hunting and the resources provided to job seekers, we are confident they are getting a $15 value. 

   It takes money to fund the operation of a job search site. Free work at home sites have to close their eyes to the type of companies they expose their viewers to — to pay for running their sites. View the nature of many of the ads on the sites linked to in the author’s piece. Free is not free if you’re ripped off by scams. We have heard ripped-off stories from so many of our subscribers who finally found a safe haven to try TeleCommuting one more time before giving up altogether because of previous experiences with work at home sites.

   Thanks for your comments Sol and going into deeper explanation as to why your company charges work at home seekers. We weren’t inditing your site for doing so. I think it makes total sense given the work that is put into the site. But alas many work at home seekers would probably still cringe at the fee because of the mantra pumped by other sites that anything that charges a fee is some sort of scam. I for one think your site is legitimate and a great resource.

   In terms of the free work at home websites turning their eyes away to scams, I don’t think that’s a fair statement. I believe many of the good free resources provide a lot of material on how to avoid scams and spot them. It’s up to the users to do their due digelence especially when the information is made readily available on various free work at home websites.

   Many times these website are running Google AdSense and honestly I think it’s really up to Google to filter out these scams. It seems like they are cracking down but there is a lot to be done. But I really do believe you can’t get scammed if you’re vigilant and do your research especially when a company is asking for a fee. It’s just a no brainer at this point. The few times I was ever scammed was because I didn’t do my research.

   In any event, thanks again for chiming in. It’s great to see an active website owner. Keep up the great work.
