Yes, total scam... Right out of the gate...no one "pre-pays"...its a way to get your personal and financial/bank information.

have a look

you have to ask?

You all are right! It's a scam for sure!

all the classic signs no name, no phone, no web, no address compensation listed that's an easy one

well....... It's new to me.... I am entirely too trustworthy

this is why these guys are still in business because of newbies to the net/CL who also give people the benefit of the doubt rather than step back and think, hey is this guy trying to con me?

ummmmmmmmmmmm. No.. buddy... this guy didn't get crap from me... Get your facts straight

read my post again I said people, not you specifiy.

if it smells like fish I'll Google a line and sure enough, that ad will turn up in several other CLs they are getting better though, that one was old school

what do you have to lose? If I were you, I'd try it. Accept his money and go shopping for one month, then see how much you make. The ad said 400 compensation and now he says $500/week? Wow! That's a great deal! Imagine what you could do with $2000 more a month, paid in cash essentially, tax free. I say go for it and report back here in October to let us know how it went.

if he sends money it's a bad check and overpayment you send a good check as refund, that's the scam otherwise it's for data phishing
