Is this a scam?

[Not Kuno]

In my unrelenting search for work I managed to find this gem. Seems interesting if legit but I've learned not to trust stuff like this. I have no clue so I figure I'd post it here incase anyone has any idea.

I've never been a fan of that type of stuff but it does seem like easy monies. Anyone have any idea if this is legit or some type of horrible scam? The ads at the bottom don't seem too convincing.

Obviously a scam, super sketchy website.

97.00 fee for a risk free thing... LOL!

[Avanarius]

Register now for a small one-time registration fee of just $97.00

yeah no....that just screams typical scam

[sunb1ind]

As I have searched for employment online before, every single one of these with "start up" fees are pure scams. The ones without start up fees are jokes, the pay never justifies the work.

Like yo mama always told you:"If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is"

If they were making $1000+ per day doing what they advertise, why would they give a fuck about scamming a few thousand from people gullible enough to believe it?

It's a scam. All that is is they teach you how to do Google AdSense and you become a referrer for many other scams like this one (or legit products). You use Google to draw people to their site, if one of your people converts to a sale you get paid. Does it work? It can. Will it for you? Not if you don't have a pretty heavy internet advertising background.

Yes I've tried that and I havn't had anyone call me, and Ive been looking for a bit now. <.< I saw the scam link on CareerBuilder today which led me to post this.

Look for Entry Level stuff. Mail room jobs are good because you can move up in the company pretty quickly, and most of them pay pretty well. You can apply for the post office, I think they pay $18 an hour for mail-related jobs, whether you drop mail off or work inside and process it.

Entry level data entry jobs are easy as hell too. You could always find a Temp Agency and start doing office jobs they give you to build up some "experience" (ya lolz need experience typing amirite). Nice thing about Temp Agencies is that they find you the jobs, so if you don't like a job they offer you, just say no and they'll find another one. When you go in tell them specifically what you want to do and they'll make you test some tests (writing, typing, phone skills, whatever) and find you jobs based off of how well you did.

as soon as i saw the primary color blue background load up i was like UM NO

it only got worse HONESTLY

[Not Kuno]

I have experience and stuff. >.> According to my resume 5 years worth (my old boss gave me the OK to lie on it lawls) but that doesnt help.

[Kiro]

What're you applying for? Maybe you're setting you standards too high? Honestly if you're on some kind of deadline you should just go for what you know you can do, or meet / surpass their basic requirements to do the job. But, yeah, data entry jobs are easy shit.

[sunb1ind]

Depends on where you live too, I know this all too well living in FL. All my friends and family have the same problems with finding jobs, regardless of experience. The job market is a bitch nowadays if you're at mid-career or just got laid off and can't live off of min. wage.

Craigslist jobs are 99% scams too :/

[Woozie]

Your instincts are usually right. If you had to ask "Is this a scam?" then it's probably a scam.

Just out of curiosity, what area do you have 5 years of experience in? (If you already mentioned it, sorry, I must have missed it).

[Not Kuno]

Graphic Design. Not that it means for much anyway, it seems most places have their own way they want you to do stuff so I'd have to learn alot of stuff over again. <.<


Edit: Whoops I missed some posts. Yeah I dont mind low wage stuff really but I want a career instead of like McSlaveLabor. Even if its in a different field at entry lvl I don't really care. >.>

[wyrmtung]

Careerbuilder and Craigslist are not good places to find a real job. The real jobs are posted on the hiring companies' websites. You should figure out what companies are in your area that you would like to work for then visit their sites.

You gotta network as much as possible. Let everyone you know, friends, family, friends of friends, let them know you are looking for a job. I would work on developing a 60 second resume that you can tell someone your qualifications and skills. Practice it and have it down pat because you never know when you might meet someone that can help you.

Good luck. I was a wandering nomad working for temp agencies for about 2 years before I finally landed with the company I wanted.
