Has anyone used or heard of this home based gift business company?

I'm thinking about doing a home based business and just saw the following site. It looks interesting. It doesnt require any inventory or anything. You just do marketing maybe and find customers and they do the rest and you get a percentage, fairly good one it looks like. They offer two business packages including a simple one for only $20/month for a very basic set up or that plus a one time fee of $500 to do your own online store totally set up by them and you can add your own baskets and other items at any time.

I'm emailing them to ask for testimonials from their current members or something like that, plus I'm going to try and do a web search or something. I like the idea of doing my own store and all that but if this is a combination of both then maybe it would be better.





Thanks, Suzanne

Did a whois check on them and this is there registrant info:


Registrant:


Gift Baskets Incorporated


82-31 213th Street


Hollis Hills, New York 11427


United States





I did a generic search on Google and next to no information came up on either company - the site shows up at the top but no other information does.





I also did a business license search for both company names at the states licensing site - neither showed up. It sounds like you're doing your own research on it so that's good - sadly I couldn't find anything else out about it for you.








Good luck though!
Reply:Checked out the site, it sounds like a scam. Don't do it.





If you want to do home based business, then you have to identify what you are good at. Can you offer service or product for other people.





If you can do a service, like call center or typing Doctors memo, help them to file insurance..... babysitting?


or


If you can sew, cook etc....





It is not expensive to get a website build, but you have to identify what you like to do.
Reply:i wouldnt trust doing any of those home base buisness. most are scams! so be careful...
Reply:I would check with the Better Business Bureau for starters. Check around for the cost of an online store if you did it yourself and really compare what they are offering. There are so many scams out there that it's hard to know what's legit anymore
Reply:no never heard of this compnay before.
