I've never dealt with them, but although they're aren't BBB members, they do have a satisfactory record with them: http://data.ottawa.bbb.org/commonreport.html?bid=53

I was unable to locate any reference to such company on BBB, US and UK government records, or major search engines.\n\nIf this is a scam, which is possible, it is not widespread to trigger any news, or records yet.

You're right--it's not a scam.  Some are actually very legit.  For an example on how to get a free laptops, try the following link:\nhttp://laptops.freepay.com/?r=27988381\n\nThis same company offers free XBOX, iPod, etc.  There are some websites that offer a free stuff if you fill out questionnaires and surveys, sign up for at least one offer, and make referrals.  Some examples of these offers are credit card applications, Netflix / Blockbuster movie rentals, magazine subscriptions, etc.  These offers are usually decent deals (but not the best if you search hard on the internet.)  As for referrals, you will need to get family and friends to sign up for the same free laptop deal.  For this reason, although these free laptop deals are legit as reported by media (including CNN, New York Times, NPR, etc), these deals are criticized by some for its aggressive marketing methods.  Others argue that this is simple an alternative payment method in which advertisers pay for the end-users/consumers.\n\nI encourage you to do more research on your own before heavily investing your time.  As mentioned earlier, it works and you will get a free laptop.  However, it also takes work and time.  This link should provide you with more unbiased information.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freepay\n\nLastly, if you don't feel comfortable with them, just ignore them.\n\nGood luck and have a nice day!

I'm assuming you just received a job offer via instanthumanresources.com, right? I just received the same exact email regarding Invior Marketing and the only thing that came up in the search engine were your questions so there obviously isn't information about them out there.\n\nHowever...\n\nI then did a search on "Instant Human Resources" and a lot of scam information came up as a result.  They apparently have the "same" job offer through many other fake companies and is a notorious scammer. \n\nSearch Engine Results: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=%22instant+human+resources%22&btnG=Search\n\nAnd I found this article to be particularly informative:\nhttp://www.scam.com/showthread.php?t=7675\n\nI'm glad I decided to look into it further before overeagerly submitting my info. Alas, the job hunt continues!

Check the company out.\n\nDid you ever get in contact w/ them?\nIf not, and they just offered u a job or invitation w/o contact, then it's a scam.\nIf you never talked to them, ask them how they heard about u, and what references they contacted.  If none, then scam.

Basically, if it sounds too good to be true, it is.\n\nStay away from those things. Most of them are all scams or rip offs. They make $50, and send you a measly $5 reward.\n\nIf you *MUST* know...\n\nwww.rewardbull.com\nhttp://www.ezyrewards.com\nfreepay.com

Some of the companies that advertise this as a paying job are exploiters or scammers. Becareful if they ask for money upfront to send you the package info to get this type of work. Some are just low paying in that it's per envelop and it works out to less than minimum wage.

WARNING!!!!! Did this company tell you tat you need to send them money in order to start working for them?  If so, di you send a monetary contribution to them to start receiveing you work in the mail?  If you have sent any money, then I am sorry to say you have just been scammed.  Many people say that they are a company and have people send money to a certain place.  Where in turn the person requesting the money receives the money in the place they asked and run with the money.\n\nDon't be fooled!  Keep looking, I'm sure that you will be able to find a place of employment that you like and will actually make money.

I have searched several business databases and these companies are not even registered as such.\n\nIt is doubtful that tou will find any information on these "companies," because they are 99% likely to be fake.

Got one too from Ken Monahan and looked into it and found this on a website below. Pretty sad how people use what sounds like a nice job opportunity to phish for info. \n\nInstant Human Resources Scam\n\nATTENTION. \niHRsoftware.com ("Instant HR" by Apex Software) is in no way associated with this scam, neither is site Instanthr.com \n \nInstant Human Resources "Blue Line Marketing" spam servers abcemploymentsite.com and abcemploymentoffers.com are from previously known proven Defrawy scam American Business Company aka American Business Corporation (ABC). \nE-mail addresses are secretly harvested via a "spoofed" hyperlink that first leads you through an application on americanbusinesswebsite.com. Pure illegal phishing. Report it. \nInstant Human Resources scam sites are:\n\nwww.instanthumanresources.com - whois\nwww.myinstanthr.com - whois\nwww.onlineapplication100.com - whois\nwww.onlineapplication101.com - whois\nwww.onlineapplication102.com - whois\nwww.onlineapplication103.com - whois\nwww.instanthrtelework.com / \nwww.instanthrteleworkguide.com\n\nInstant Human Resources is not an existing company. \nJust search Cincinnati / Search Maryland

I was intrigued by your question and wanted to further investigate this web site.  My first impression of the website was that it looked like it had been put together by a team of Jr. high web class students.  The web site looked extemely un-proffesional and looked like it had been put together with out much thought.  First red flag, Any company with enough money to pay employees hundreds to thousands of dollars for a few hours of work, could deffinatly hire a proffesional web desinger to create a decent home page.  Did you notice a lack of out side links The only link i found that took you any where was one that took you to "consumer reporter.org.  I must admit by this time i thought well if they have a major consumer reporting company endorsing their company maybe they are the real deal.  I guess i wasn't too surprised to find that "consumerreporter.org" was obviously a site made by these guys to make their company look good.  The same crapy designs, the same poor acting testimonials, cheesy lines, poor images (the icons they have aren't even links, shouldn't those take you somewhere?  or maybe they just didn't want their page to look plain), I also thought that it was interesting that the only product this supposed company has ever done a consumer report on is Itidata.  you couldn't see any other reports on their page!!!  Sounds like a scam to me.  Interested in some of the icons i found on their web site (the ones that dont take you any where i decided to investigate and find out what those sites where, I was surprized to find out that they were real legit sites.  I did a search to see what they said about this web site and almost fell off my seat laughing when i saw what they themselves had led me to.  Here is a letter from a lady who was unsatisfied with this company, you can find this letter on your own by going to www.complaints.com and typing in ITIdata in the search field, well here it is:\n\nMarch 2, 2006 \n\nHello,\nMy name is Mira and I would sincerely appreciate it if you could help me out. Please take the time to read this and find an honest solution. I purchased the itidata training manual after visiting the site consumerreporter.org and the www.itidata.org site. After downloading the manual and reading it very carefully, I realize that the information promised does not appear to be anywhere. The instructions for settting up a clickbank account are there and the link to the clickbank website is there but, no links to the the names of the companies listed on the itidata website. After attempting to follow the directions and sign up with these sites I realize that they ask for a website on which you can place their ads by cutting and pasting their links or they ask you to sign up with other sites by purchaing advertising tools and space. I would like to point out that the manual strictly says you dont need your own website for this and it also says you don't have to be an expert at using the internet and it also says that no extra costs would be incurred. But going to these sites I see just that. I searched for a member area on the site and called their 713-866-6212 number but found no help as promised to their members...they say to call from 9-5 central time and I called 5-6 times between those hours but got \nonly a recording. There is no response to my email which they say they would reply to in 24 hours.\nI don't know what to do anymore. I have studied the manual 5-6 times but this is all that it says.\nI can only pray that I have not been scammed. The truth is I am a part time student with a minimum salary and new to the country. I don't have money to throw away especially this kind. I need to become financially independent and am not looking to earn obscene amounts of cash. But I would love to have \na legit and regular way of doing this. I would like to get started ASAP on this and I request you to help me. I have full faith that as a consumer protection org y
