2 /12/09 BBB Warns Job Hunters to Steer Clear of Rebate Processing Job Scams

In the BBB news, they warn " the larger offenders - which have racked up hundreds of complaints from consumers nationwide - operate under such names as Angel Stevens and Cindy Dalton with Web addresses including www.processathome.com and www.rebateprocessorjobs.com"

When it comes to rebate processor jobs the basic concept they pay you to do what the title suggests - process rebates. In theory it sounds great, you simply process rebates at home and earn $15.00 for each one that you complete. Although this does sound interesting it is not the complete picture. If you go to the website of one of these new companies they make it seem like all you are doing is filling out forms when people ask for a refund. Once the refund is done they will send you a payment of around $15. This is not quite how it works. The reality is rebate processing is actually affiliate work. Companies are not hiring you to work for them and then paying you by the piece. Instead they teach you how to find products that you can sell online and earn a commission from the sale. Often these are products found on affiliate sites like Clickbank or CommissionJunction.com. They then teach you how to write ads to sell these products. Included in your ad is an offer for a "rebate" when someone buys the product. Usually the rebate is for about 15% of the price of the product (usually $8 on a $49 product). When that product sells you usually receive a $23 commission minus the $8 rebate you offer making you $15. So in summary the rebate processor jobs are not really what they say they are. They are not simply a job where you fill out rebate request forms and get paid per form you fill out. But, they are a creative twist on affiliate marketing which is a popular way to make money online. Often these affiliate products have many affiliates selling them so a creative ad like "I'll give you $8 to buy this product" will cut through the clutter. The training companies lwill provide is good if you have no experience selling or making money online. The members website is solid and it posts many great free sites that allow you to post your ads for free - so you can make money with this program by not spending anything more than the small one time fee for access to the training and members area. For those that have a mid level of experience online there is no need for you to join these programs, as there is not much new information. Rebate Processing jobs are a legitimate method to make money online - it is unfortunate that the advertising they use to promote the program is not 100% honest on how the program works, but I guess that is the nature of advertising, often the truth is stretched to get out attention and motivate us to take action. Rebate processing is the operation by which an entity (usually a company selling a product) issues a payment to a customer who has purchased on of its products and has sent in the claim for the rebate. The payment is usually made in the form of a rebate check, and requires the purchaser to send in proof of purchase and other information to enable the company to pay the customer after establishing that the product was, in fact, purchased. (The company is betting that some folks won't want to send stuff in, and it factors this into its "generosity" in offering the rebate.) Companies that offer rebates almost always subcontract the work of receiving rebate requests, processing the information and sending out the checks. The subcontractor will hire individuals for short terms (the rebates usually have an expiration date) to work the window and get the processing done. A rebate processing company can work on a modestly continuous basis, and anyone doing a good job with one of these outfits can get called at each re-invigoration event to come back in and knock out the processing work. The employee will usually have to have some basic computer skills, as it's mostly clerical with a substantial dependence on data processing.
