Default Anyone heard of this....

Not sure if I should be posting this here or not, but something in my gut tells me to be weary of it. I don't want to give someone a bad name so I am not saying it is a scam as I do not know. I am hoping someone on here as had experience with them or know someone who has and can tell me something about it. Does anyone know if this is legit or not?

Thanks,
Rhonda

Hi Rhonda,

Any site that you have to pay a monthly membership to "get jobs" I would be leery of. Read their Terms and Conditions ($2.95 for trial membership, then $47 per month thereafter). Any that I have joined in the past earn a percentage of what you are paid without a membership fee.

Not saying there aren't good ones out there that you pay to join, but this hasn't been my experience.

HTH a bit,

Thanks Jules! I did not dig to deep into the website. Just ran across it while looking for projects to bid on. I was going to go back and check it out later so I did not notice the fees. I agree there are not many paid sites that are very reputable or even legit. Thanks again!
