Has any one every heard of or is doing one of the billion work at home fucing ads everywhere??
Is there such a thing??
everwhere i look i see ads intenet, mags, local papers, mags dedicated to it, hell even fricken signs alone the highways with an web addy??
I always have thought i all was a bunch of scams that geeks use to steal monwey off people or something but any input would be great.

I worked at home for a couple years. This was before ebay got ridiculous with sellers fees. I made a ****load of money tax free. All that other online **** is a scam.
