Is Liveops work from home a scam?
I read in womans world about work from home jobs and saw Liveops. I want on there website, took the tests and did the voice recording. Today I got a email saying that they would like to offer me work. I just have to pay and pass a background check. I do not want to get scammed. I am not looking to get rich from it, just to make extra spending money.

I actually had a friend that did it for a little while but has since then quit. I am not sure exactly why but I'm pretty sure he wasn't making enough money. I looked into it before he quit and it didn't seem like a good pay structure. I didn't know you had to pay! You should never have to pay to work for someone else! No matter what excuse they give you on why they are charging you. You are still working for them and that should always be 100% free! The only time a fee should be expected is investing in a business, working for yourself. be careful with this as well, there are a lot of scams. Just be sure to do lots of research on anything you are looking into. I have experience with this and really enjoy helping others. Email me if you would like info. I would be happy to help!

Well, it depends on what you consider to be a scam. Is it a job? No it's not salaried. Does it pay a lot? No, it does not. I can tell you this because I work for them presently, and I am not making a whole lot of money. Quite honnestly, it is more of a hobby than a serious job. I have been working for Liveops since Christmas of 2007, and not making any serious money. What happens is that agents have to go by these available 30 minute times slots to get work. The problem with this is The only reason I am doing this is just for fun, a hobby in all reality, because I get bored at home, so I use my income I make from Liveops for burger money only. But I cannot support myself financially with this job, in any capacity besides that. At best I make 40 or 50 dollars a week, and that is AT BEST. Why do we make so little money? Because there are already thousands of ther Liveops agents in it already, and there is simply not enough work to spread around to everyone. And on top of that it is NOT a REAL salary job, we get paid on very small commissions only. In all reality, you may only get ony 2 or 3 phone calls per day, on an AVERAGE DAY. The problem is, is that you only get paid a by the minute rate, around 20 cents a minute to talk to the customer. Problem is you may not speak to the customer for very long, 10 minutes at maximim. I usually average maybe 4 or 5 customers per day, and I have been in this since Christmas of 2007, so that means at best I make around 40 or 50 dollars. If you can, I just recommend getting a regular job, that's what I am trying to do myself. It is a good job, if you are only looking for a hobby or a side activity to do at home, but I haven't made any serious money since I have been working with Liveops. I have been working for Liveops since Christmas of 2007, and have made only about 200 dollars altogether since then, which is quite pathetic considering that this is supposed to be a "contracting job". If you want to make real money from home, go with West at home telemarketing, they are from Omaha. Put in your application, they WILL get back in touch with you, you may have to wait up to 2 or 3 months, but they will call you. You'll have to take a couple of tests from home, and review for and take a couple quizzes for their ShopNBC program, whatever they're group have you to take calls for. But BE VERY CAREFUL when you work for West, because once you work for them they will try to use ANY excuse on you to try to FIRE you. If you decide to work for West, be careful, they are going to monitor ALL of your calls and try to find ANY excuse to FIRE you. They pay good, but trust me, they are assholes about every little thing, and they constantly rotate new agents in and out. So I would be very careful working for them, if you do anything they don't like, they will fire you, and there would be bothing you can do about it because it is not a Union job. I know because I got FIRED for no reason at all from West. I got fired because they said I did not want to help this one lousy customer. I was getting hundreds of customers a day with West, and they fired me over one lousy customer, which is pathetic. And it iwas not even my fault with this one customer. This one customer hung up on me, and West made it appear that I hung up on them, which was not true, and then they lied on me and said it was my fault why the customer hung up. It wasn't important because the bitch wasn't going to buy any way, oh yeah mind you, I got fired over a 30 dollar ring she was asking about. Pathetic. Well good luck on find work at home, cause it ain't easy! :)
