Does this look legitimate to you?
or is it just another spam?

Do You Dream of Having More? Make it a Reality.

More work-life balance. More freedom to choose when and how much you work. More earning potential based on being rewarded for the results you produce.

Today, in the United States, more than 200,000 people work “virtually” from their home offices. While technology makes it possible, many people experience challenges in finding a successful way to operate a home-based business.

Arise offers year-round opportunities to provide contact services to the best selection of well-known, trusted brands — giving you the freedom you crave and the income results you need.

As an Arise Certified Professional, you choose which clients to serve, when you work and how many hours each week to work.

1. Scam. But then, what to I know? Perhaps I just lack initiative, and a burning
desire to unleash my true earning potential... :shrug:

2. I am trying to help a friend of mine with work and
she sent me the link. Looks like spam to me, too but, everybody knows everything on DU (even more so in GD) -- so I thought I would ask :)

3. It's work-from-home customer-service call-center-type work...or so it sounds like.
Edited on Wed Aug-31-11 10:49 PM by Chan790
Do you have experience in that sector and does that sound like something you'd enjoy doing?

The outlay from their standpoint is that you're an independent contractor...if you don't work...they don't have to pay you. If the phone doesn't ring...they don't have to pay you. If you stink and they can't hire you out...you get the idea. If you're really good though, it's like any other legitimate* independent-contractor gig...you're only limited in earning potential by your ambition and the amount of work available to contract-fulfill. Also, you're basically self-employed. That has its' own positives and negatives.

*-this is an assumption on my part, not an assessment of legitimacy.

Rdit: It looks legitimate...but that might just be good web-design. Even con-artists and scammers can contract for high-quality web-design.

got to give credit where credit is due.

I just got the link in an email from a friend of mine.<------This is the truth.

She is looking for work. She is a motivated entrepreneurial type ... maybe it would fit her.

Not me at all. I am all artsy-fartsy.
