I can't say whether these jobs are 'real jobs' or not.
But I myself, would not touch any such job offer, be it online or in a newspaper if they asked for ANY MONEY upfront.

But then again, I'm an extreme cynic who believes that most 'offers' you find on the internet are either rip-offs or money-making scams.

It's hard for me to believe they're real when they want money upfront. I do know there are a few places that are true online jobs. For instance, I have never worked for this cell phone service, but could've if I answered correctly within so many seconds. I am trying to think of the name of it, but must be too early still. If anyone wants the name of the place let me know. I'd love to share.

I have never paid a site to obtain work. Normally the better sites you will find the employer pays. Not to mention there is no Google rating, they send up two popup windows to keep you. My advice do not do it.

I just recalled the online job, it's called chacha. Anyone hear of it? I tried to get it, but failed because I wasn't quick enough. My typing is great, but don't think too fast.

LOL!

Most of these sort of things I have seen or done just turn out to be con's. You have to do loads for a few cents.

Totally agree with you there Christian.
