Anyone heard of "Home Based Business"?

[Simba22]

My boyfriend found this while browsing the Finance section on Yahoo and I can't help but be skeptical. Especially since, if you read the comments under the "article," there is a "Mike" and a "Mark" and both wrote the EXACT SAME comment....

Anyone try it or know someone who has? My boyfriend is getting laid off in February and I'm getting laid off in August so I'm just trying to work on a plan.

Here is the link to the story about it:

You know that the link isn't an "article" it's an advertisement, right?

Oh I get that popping up all the time in Facebook and other places - it's tailored to your location - mine always says "Maryland (my actual city) mom works at home and makes a zillion dollars" - LOL.

That's a scam or spam, however you want to phrase it. Some kind of multi-level marketing thing I would guess or just someone making $$ per click of their ad.

I actually didn't realize it was an advertisement until I went back and looked at it again. That's when I realized that it was tailored to your ISP location. I asked my BF where he found the link and he told me it was under the heading "Sponsored Advertisements." I was like yeah....it's a scam! LOL What kind of job makes me pay them something before I start?
