  Be careful guys, I have been fooled by advertisement of require freelancers to work by this "becomefreelancer.net" and sent nearly Rs 4500/- to them to register and they have merely sent me a book and couple of CDs of ‘How to be a Rockstar freelancer’ which is of no use.
  While advertising they said that they want people to work online for facebook, afterwards also they give one number 14242395022 and show they are very much concerned about you by calling you and assuring you, but be careful it is nothing else but fraud. They are not giving you any freelancing job but selling their rubbish book for Rs 4500. Be careful, be alert.

Does Facebook have any programme as "Work From Home Programme"?
I think it is all scam, if it was true, we would heard directly from the management of facebook and not some kind of website somewhere? BE WARNED!!!

    Then why is FACEBOOK not suing these parties for using their good name and spoiling it with such scams?

      You cannot sue people who you are not able to apprehend or catch.

yea they got me! I have now cancelled my card.
The link on their website to cancel via live chat does not work, and the comments from Facebook users link to different Facebook users than the ones for the avatars, that is what made me realize it was a scam.
