Paid Rebate Processing Jobs - Sorting Out the Facts from Fiction

All the Details You Need to Know About These Positions

Sounds pretty darn good, huh? I saw one of these types of advertisements as a Google Ad and decided it was to time to do some investigation.
If you know me, you know that I'm very skeptical about any program that sounds to good to be true, and this advertisement fit the bill perfect.

To start my investigation, I needed to find out exactly what the heck "Rebate Processing" entails. Supposedly, as a "paid rebate processor" you are supposed to be doing various forms of "data
 entry".

PROBLEM #1 - So I'm trying to find out where I can sign up to be a paid rebate processor and I keep hitting brick walls. The majority of the sites that offer rebate processing jobs don't actually even offer any jobs period! They want you to buy a publication to learn how to get into the field of rebate processing. This scenario is about the same as me going to my local grocery store and asking for an application to be a cashier and the store manager telling me "You have to buy this paperback book about getting a cashier position before we can give you can application" - it makes absolutely no sense.

PROBLEM #2 - Guess what?! I finally found a job that doesn't require me to buy anything to start working as a rebate processor. For about 10 seconds I see a glimmer of hope - but, it was a quick 10 seconds. Check out how this job works:

The rebate company (your employer) claims that they will PAY YOU $20 for every $10 rebate you send. OMG, right? If it takes you approximately 6 minutes to send each rebate, and you are making $20 per rebate, you would be earning $200 AN HOUR! I'm not a calculus teacher and I really never made it past advanced algebra, but $200 multiplied by 8 hours in a day and five days a week should equal $8,000 a week. So why the (profanity) has my father worked at Ford Motor Company for the past 30 years when he could be doing at home rebate processing?!
Back to reality - here's the catch...wait, "Catches":

Thanks for the heads-up on this subject(Rebate Processing) I figrued that there was a catch to it. But then I think of how many people are out there that had just lost there jobs or laid off, etc. and these type of scam artist are on the internet. Where most people start looking for new jobs. There should be some kind of law, or goverment should step-in to do something about this.
