Hi Rrattray,
You asked whether or not the company is "reputable." The best way
to find that out is to contact the local Better Business Bureau. I've
done that search for you, and according to them: they are still
attempting to gather information on this company, but they have found
that the company uses three different addresses. One in Fort Meyers,
a second in North Fort Meyers, and a third in Cape Coral.
The Cape Coral office is the main one, and the phone # is listed
as (800) 485-6557. This company is listed as a Business-Opp-Work At
Home-Offer
The best advice I can give to you, is to use caution. Many
places offer work at home opportunities, and ask you to pay upfront
before you can start working. Some of these are scams, and my personal
opinion is to not pay any money upfront if they ask. Usually I just
ask "Why do I have to pay YOU to work?"? Since the BBB has not yet
confirmed this company as reliable, and since they are operating under
3 different addresses, I would use caution.
Additional advice from the Better Business Bureau:
"Here's some helpful tips from the Council of Better Business
Bureaus: Everyday, ads for work-at-home jobs appear in newspapers
across the country as well as in national magazines and on the
internet. Some of the offers include stuffing envelopes, assemblying
products, reading books, reviewing movies, medical transactions, or
selling advertising on the Internet. The Better Business Bureau
suggests using extreme caution when responding to any such offer. "
"While ads claim high earnings and short hours with little or no
experience, the majority of Bureau files nationwide indicate no
evidence of anyone making the promised money. Rarely, these "jobs"
require up-front fees for information or supplies, and only the person
who ran the ad makes any money. You should be aware that the United
States Postal Inspectors regularly investigate these fraudulent
schemes, and that you risk investigation and possible prosecution by
postal or other law enforcement agencies if you become involved in one
of these schemes."
Addititonally, the BBB offers a free booklet that you can request that
may list some of these schemes: " The BBB booklet entitled "Work at
Home Schemes" is available free of charge by sending a self-addressed
stamped envelope to: BBB, PO Box 7950, Clearwater, FL 33758-7950."
