The Honest Work From Home Success Forum Helps to Stop Rip-Off of Internet Workers

The Honest Work from Home Success Forum is playing its part in keeping the internet safe for online workers. People looking for genuine online business opportunities, help and information can find it at the forum.

Blackburn, UK (PRWEB) March 11, 2012

The HWFHS Forum is continuing its fight to make the internet a safer place in 2012. The introduction of a new “Scam Beware” section of the forum is proving to be incredibly popular with members. The section has already received several hundred posts and thousands of hits. The “Scam Beware” part of the forum has several sections where members of the forum can post warnings about potential scams and their experiences with them.

Paul Lynch the founder of the forum said “We are finding that many of our new members are coming to us having lost hundreds or even thousands of Dollars on internet scams”.

A recent report from the FTC in the USA has recently estimated that just 1 in every 55 work at home opportunities is legitimate. Several high profile cases in the US have resulted in companies being fined millions of Dollars and shut down. Some of the most common scams the FTC found online included business coaching, home crafting jobs, rebate processing and conducting internet searches.

New FTC guidelines for business opportunities came into place on March 1st 2012 with the aim of providing additional protection to consumers seeking to work from home. From this date people selling and promoting work at home business opportunities have to disclose a number of key facts. These include the sellers identifying information, refund policy, claims about earnings as well as previous legal action involving the seller.

Paul Lynch said “While the new guidelines are welcome the best thing consumers can do is research thoroughly before they give anyone a cent of their money”. He went on to say “Forums like ours offer people a safe community where they exchange ideas, experiences and opportunities safely with like-minded people”.

The Honest Work from Home Success Forum was established in 2008 by Paul Lynch. It offers its 30,000 + members a safe and secure environment for those looking for genuine business opportunities.

Indy businesses hiring temporary workers to handle demand during Super Bowl 2012 - Indianapolis Star

Waiters and waitresses. Security guards. Even massage therapists. They're all in high demand as Indianapolis businesses temporarily bulk up their staffs in preparation for throngs of Super Bowl fans.

For the broader economy, the temp jobs represent just a small upward blip, economists say. But for residents in between jobs, the cash from a temporary gig brings huge financial relief.

"It's really helped me out a lot," said Toni Clark, who works as a banquet server for LGC Hospitality Staffing. "I can have something in my pocket until I can find full-time work."

While Clark's boyfriend helps with the larger bills, the money from her job has paid for groceries and allowed her to financially assist her son who is in college.

Plenty more people will have the same opportunity to earn some additional cash, said Glen Greenawalt, LGC's executive vice president.

The company is looking to hire 1,000 temporary employees for the weeks leading up to the Feb. 5 Super Bowl at Lucas Oil Stadium. Most of the jobs will pay $9 to $17 an hour. New hires will work as customer service representatives, cooks and servers for the convention center, major downtown hotels, The Columbia Club, Skyline Club and Centerplate, the hospitality service for Lucas Oil Stadium and NFL events.

"We afford the opportunity for these (organizations) to take on more business than they normally could," Greenawalt said. "They can double their production for a few days or a few weeks."

Overall, the Super Bowl is expected to result in a one-time burst of $384 million in total economic activity, according to projections by Michael Hicks, associate professor of economics at Ball State University.

It also will add $213 million in direct wages and 5,000 jobs -- some temporary to support Super Bowl-only events and some permanent to meet the ongoing needs of the expanding convention business spurred by the city's international exposure as the Super Bowl host.

The temporary jobs, however, will have little effect on Indiana's 8.7 percent unemployment rate, experts say.

"It's not going to have any sort of lasting impact," said Kathy Gjerde, an associate professor of economics at Butler University. "It's a flash in the pan."

But putting new work experience on the resumes of long out-of-work residents could help them land full-time jobs later.

Hicks noted that some hiring managers have opted to ignore applicants unemployed for a year or more. A temp job could serve as a "gateway" to permanent employment, he said.

Temp opportunities are plentiful at restaurants, security companies and spas.

Indy All Night, which delivers burgers, pizza and pasta to night owls from 7 p.m. to 4:30 a.m., is adding 10 delivery drivers, four order takers and eight cooks.

Owner Jim Garberding said he didn't want to miss out on what he expects to be two months' worth of sales between Jan. 27 and Feb. 5.

Elsewhere, Trinity Executive Security is hiring 50 people to meet current clients' "accelerated" security needs. And Blu and Hyde Nightclubs are looking for 150 extra people, from bouncers to bartenders, to serve customers at temporary adjunct venues built on Meridian Street parking lots.

And don't forget the Body Works Day Spa at 435 Virginia Ave. Some fresh paint, a couples massage room and a relaxation room has the spa ready for the crowds. It's bringing in additional massage therapists and front desk help to deal with the expected Super Bowl rush.
