BEWARE OF FRAUD!
I got the following e-mail after I posted ads on Craig's List. Would you think that if you are in a business for yourself that you would know how to post ads on Craig's List?
CRC Group wants people to post ads for them on Craig's List and other hoops to jump through, which I can smell a tightrope scam!
The problem is CRC Group, Inc. dissolved in Illinois years ago. Second, the law for arbitration is held in Nevada for any disputes. Third, workers are strewn all over the country with phone numbers not belonging to the stated personell, etc.
In addition, the BBB rates the company with a "B" rating because they have no contact or reports about the company. The Agent for the business list a Mr. patrick Egan at (815) 439-1549.
I urge caution for any person who wants to lose out on $80.00 or more, including the $2.95 for the free seven day trial for e-mail software.
Hello,
My name is Greg Sutherson and I just came across your ad on Craigslist. I own an advertising company and we would like to offer you $1500 for posting a couple ads each day on Craigslist for our company. We are currently overwhelmed with work and would like to outsource some of it to qualified people who can successfully post ads on Craigslist, and since you have a quality ad that we found, we would like to offer you this position.
This is just part-time work, so you don't need to quit your current job or rearrange your schedule. All you need to do is post 2 or 3 ads a day for us, depending on what our clients need. It only will take 15 minutes to do each day, and will last for about 4 or 5 days. Since you already know how to post an ad on Craigslist, this should be really easy for you to do, and we would be happy to have you work for us. We just need to get caught up with our clients' ads, as we are extremely back-logged. However, depending how well you do, this could turn into a full-time position where you could work from home for us.
If you plan to participate then the following needs to be done:
1) You must fill out the following short form to receive your home income ad posting kit: CLICK HERE FOR THE FORM The kit is completely free, since you can use the free trial option that we put into place for this project. Depending on your location, there may be a slight activation fee. However, this charge will be reimbursed to you when you receive your paycheck. (i.e., instead of $1500 you will receive $1502.97).
2) After you submitted your order for the free trial, please email us back with your name and confirmation number.
3) We will then contact you back with your first 2 ads that need to be posted on Craigslist for our clients. The ads are just promoting their businesses and services (typically car dealerships, appliance stores, restaurants, etc...), but once again, we have so many clients that we are getting swamped and we need help catching up.
* Spots are filling up quickly, so to reserve your spot, get your free trial ASAP. We are literally being contacted by a dozen people each hour. At the end of the 5 days, we will send you a check to the address we have on file for you. Unfortunately we cannot pay in advance due to people taking advantage of our free kit and compensation thereafter. However, if you can order your free kit and would like to schedule a phone conversation, I may be able to pay half up front and the other half after the work is completed. But once again, we would need to be able to have a phone conversation so I can verify your intentions of working with us.
