I also found this to be a little "too good to be true" and what do you know, my mom was right, if it sounds too good it probably is.

I specifically asked the lady I spoke with if I would be working for myself and she told me that I would be hired through their company and would be garaunteed work.  Neither of which held true.

I was sent the "packet" which had NO information about the company I received it from, no phone numbers, addresses, names, absolutely nothing.  They basically provided me with some local company I COULD do work for, I'm doing some research now to see if I can get my shipping & handling refunded also because I was mislead and never would've paid for this information had the answers to my questions been honest ones.

Here is a BBB record related to this company. They have F rating and the following explanation in the "BBB Comments and Analysis" section:

---
We advise against sending money to companies making these kind of offers. Most advertise on the Internet, via email, or in the help wanted sections of newspapers and other publications. The companies placing the ads are not hiring anyone. Their actual business is deceptive advertising designed to entice the public to send fees to get started. Addresses given are usually mail drops, advertised phone numbers reach recordings and calls are not returned, and no local phone numbers are listed. Most work-at-home companies advertise in states other than where they are located so as to avoid prosecution.

Complaints about other companies engaging in similar types of businesses generally allege that once money is sent, respondents fail to receive the promised employment. Some complain that the company does nothing more than advise them to place the same kind of ad in their own local papers. In other cases, customers receive nothing from the company. Most of these offers are made in conjunction with a money-back guarantee, but our experience is that few customers are able to obtain refunds despite the guarantee.

I would not trust this post as it was submitted by the same person who claimed us in a private message to be behind this phone number. In case the authorities investigate this phone number and are interested in log files we can provide them. In your request mention ID: 7a52becb-c1d8-001c-02dd-08ca34d5b276

I ordered the work at home packet from this company. I was skepticle about it. It had a lot of information but certainly did not work out like I was plannig it would. I just wish they would have disclosed the work is not guaranteed by these companies and I had to contact them myself and send out resumes to these companies. Anyways, I returned my packet and got my refund like promised, just not the shipping and handling like they said that was not refundable.

Here is BBB explanation for F rating:

F: We strongly question the company's reliability for reasons such as that they have failed to respond to complaints, their advertising is grossly misleading, they are not in compliance with the law's licensing or registration requirements, their complaints contain especially serious allegations, or the company's industry is known for its fraudulent business practices.

I wish I saw this post before.  I just got ripped off by this company.  They have an F with the BBB.  Work at home scam. I am calling my credit card company to get my money back.  Found out from the phone company that they are located in Garden Grove California.  Call the police in Garden Grove California to report that they are ripping people off

Who is this? The number is listed on several online job boards and seems to be associated with "Times Herald".
