Process at Home

There is an online business opportunity to process rebate checks from a company called "Process at Home." The program says that you can make lots of money processing rebates from the comfort of your own home.

As more and more workers find themselves unemployed, people will do just about anything to find work. Often desperate times call for desperate measures. But you need to think before you act.

There are many dead giveaways that companies use when they don’t want you to know what they are selling. They include evasive language, bragging about how much money you are going to make, and an emphasis on buying quickly without thinking first.

The way the Process at Home program works is that you sign up to be an affiliate for companies selling digital products online. An affiliate marketer is someone who promotes a product and if they refer a sale they get a commission, usually between 15-50% of the total price.

In this case you are instructed to advertise, market and sale these products but at the same time offering a rebate on the product themselves. Then if you get a sale you process the rebate simply by giving a portion of your commission back to the customer.

This method might work if you are an experienced internet marketer and have sold products online. However this is not a rebate processing job, it is only a marketing strategy.

This is not an outright scam but it is misleading to the point where some people have started calling it a scam. They know what they are doing is misleading and untruthful, but they continue to sell it, says the Better Business Bureau. The BBB has received hundreds of complaints about "Process at Home" and graded the company an "F".

They are really designed to take money in and not give it back. Employers pay you, not the other way around. If an employer is asking for money from you, it's probably a scam.
