My buddy works at a company called Telenetwork, a tech support contracting company who does tech support for major ISPs such as Centurylink, Frontier, and Fairpoint. They're now hiring, 8 bucks an hour, paid training. apply at http://telenetwork.com/careers.html
They're not looking for geniuses at computers, they're looking for people who can tell people what to do and with basic troubleshooting skills. If you're unemployed and live in one of the states they're hiring from, it would be a nice way to earn some easy money. It is a work-at-home type job, but definitely not a scam.
