Recorded message received from this number on a Sunday afternoon.

recorded msg left about disablitiy social security jobs being offer could hardly understand anything they said, used caller id to get the number

left message about working on disability 4/19/08 @ 6:31 pm; could work and still get 100% of my disability money.  Gave a(866)816-8006 number with this website:  mytickettoworkathome.org.  Is this a scam on the disabled?

Thanks!

was calling to find out about ticket to work from home program. The company is NTI, I would like to fill out an application for one of these jobs.

NTI calling about work from home. Might be legit but I have serious reservations.

Their web presence is fresh. Not even two solid pages of references for the URL's on Google, at least two of which contain viral Iframe exploits. Some of the Google references are nothing more than search engine/spider links. Just like they materialized out of nowhere yesterday and no one seems to know them.

Both the NTI and mytickettoworkathome.org sites are well written, but my paranoia kicks in when a website offers anything "work from home," when they associate themselves with any government agency, when they make claims speaking for a government agency... and the government agency apparently doesn't have any knowledge of them. Government agencies are not known for their communication skills however. This could be legit and they could possibly be clueless at SSA... or not.

I can't find anything grossly wrong with this other than they have either bought or been given personal information of disabled persons, which as a matter of disability is part of medical records and access for commercial use is supposed to be forbidden.

The phone number from which they called had few Google references as though their phone service suddenly materialized overnight. Just like the web sites.

The whole thing has a funny smell. If this is legitimate it needs a much better approach than presenting the exact same appearance as a billion other "work from home" schemes that are nothing more than advance-fee scams or identity theft rings. What. other than a claim of association with the SSA, makes these folks special enough they can score work at home jobs that legit temp agents can't get you?

Anyone who takes the time to apply for this should watch for two things...
If they ever ask for any sort of registration fee, or any money up front for any reason... Typical scams give reasons like 'training materials' or 'security screening fee' or deposits for pretty much anything.
If they ask for money at ANY point... Run do not walk, away.

If they ask for a credit card number, SSN, etc... "To verify your identity," and will not take the information through a SSA rep that you trust, then it could be an identity theft scheme. Never give your personal information to anyone you don't know, even if they seem to already know parts of it and seem to be legitimate. Don't fall for the "please verify that you live at... etc"

If these folks are legit, there will be a venue for application through the SSA. If they don't then don't assume this is because the SSA is a bumbling government agency. Don't accept, "well word may not have gotten around yet to your caseworker..." This is a very standard ploy for suspending doubt in a potential scam victim. Either your caseworker knows them (officially) or they don't.

I am a volunteer for an anti-fraud online activist group. I have seen too many people hurt by websites that seem just as legitimate. Go through your SSA caseworker. Do not trust that anyone is telling the truth just because they claim to be associated with a government agency and don't assume they have your interests at heart just because they are all warm and fuzzy about helping disabled people.

The ugly fact is that the disabled and elderly are the largest portion of a scam artists payday. Sympathy with your plight is a typical con-man approach. "I'm on your side... I wouldn't hurt you... you can trust me."

Be careful out there with you personal info and your money.

offer to work from home up to 20 hours weekly $9.00 an hour and still collect dia\sability is this legit?????
