• Scam Alert — OnLine Jobs Today Dot Org
Posted by Tom Harnish on July 8th, 2008
Takes all kinds. Now there’s a website that’s proclaiming affiliation with Fortune Magazine, and swears, swears, they want to to protect you from a scam. And then they turn right around and scam you.
I can’t tell from reading the malarky at OnlineJobsToday.org if they’re just stooopit or if they really think what they’re doing is somehow, if not dishonest, at least not a lie. They claim to have nothing but legitimate telecommuting jobs and jobs where you will work at home. And they apparently know the word is out that you should never have to pay for a job–employers pay to atract you.
So what do they do? No charge to see the list, they say. But you do have to make a contribution of $20.99 to their website operating fund. Oh, puh-leez! AND they use a .org web address to try to give themselves the air of respectability. Yeah, right.
But don’t take our word for it. There are over 1,000 Google hits talking about them as a scam.
More and more lately, people seem to think reality is whatever they want it to be. Anything they can think of is true, just becuase they think it is. And if they say they aren’t charging to use the site, well, then they aren’t. If you don’t count the required contribution, of course.

I had ran into that site, onlinejobstoday.org, and I did order the database, and I did receive many, many legit online job openings from their database. It was well worth the 20.99 to me, it saved me a lot of time because I have been searching for these kind of jobs for a long time.
Also, you stated that they say no charge to see the list, but I don’t see that stated anywhere on the website. I have heard nothing but good things about the site and from pressing on the link you provided, I did not see where they are being spoken of as a scam, I only see where they posted jobs on classified sites.
Just FYI,
