    Apparently you can earn £20 - £35 for processing an order, that only takes 15-20mins. This sounds ridiculous!!
    You do have to pay £27 to sign up. The link was on a reputable job site

    Hi i got this pff scamwarners

    I asked a fake site expert from aa419.org and 419Eater to look at this site.

    I am posting her comments here, with her permission:

    Quote:
    It is of course a 100% scam. It looks to be one of those "email processing" scams where you have to pay 27 GBP for the "privilege" of the "opportunity."

    They remind me of the "work at home stuffing envelopes" type of "job."

    I looked at the site's registration--the typical registered for one year, recent (May) registration, and very false WHOIS details. No valid address nor phone number on the website, only way of contacting is through email.

    Looking at it, it may also be some type of mule scam that is being alluded to vaguely here:


    Quote:
    You will be paid £20 - £35 for each order you process, For example; if you process just 10 orders in a week you will make £200 - £350 weekly. The amount of money that you earn is entirely up to you - it depends on the amount of time and effort you choose to put in.

    It takes 15-20 minutes to process an order, so for an hours work you will have earned yourself at least £60.00, and that is just an hour a week! What if you did an hour a day? You can soon see the potential here!

    You will be responsible for keeping track of your earnings for tax, this is entirely your responsibility.



    So, whether it's email processing or some type of money laundering, it is definitely dodgy and I'd tell anyone to steer very clear of this "legitimate" offer.


    Hi i got this off scamwarners.

    If it wasn't a scam. Then every drug dealer/recruitment consultant/paedophile I've ever met would be processing orders instead of selling drugs, conning people and molesting children.

    Internet scams are getting worse all the time. I've spotted a few that look very close to ligit operations.

    Literally millions of people are scammed by these sites.

    If you're a spineless psychopath,, like say a recruiment consultant. Then all you need to do, should you wish to make money in the same manner. Get a cheap web designer to copy their site and get to spamming.

    Remember you're not cheating people... you're selling dreams!!
    You'll make people feel happy for a while,,, until they realise they've been scammed ,,,, then they feel bad,,,, But you'll have made them happy for a while at least.

    Funnily enough, doing things like this in Ireland is, under the regieme, pretty legal. Have you seen that new hair restorer all the pharmacists are selling, visical,,, very expensive,,,, but Ireland is one of the only countries where you can buy this miracle product.

    =========================
    Ps. Nearly all recruitment consultants sell drugs and child pornography aswell as consulting on recruitment.

    Out of interest, why is a paedophile going to drop loving kids in order to make money...?

    And how many drug dealers/recruitment agents/paedophiles HAVE you met...? What kind of circles are you moving in??!

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    It's a pyramid scheme.

    Was the link in the form of a banner advert? The operators of a website often have very little control over what adverts are displayed.

    So they can save up for a big trip to Thailand?

    Ireland is actually crawling with convicted paedophiles.

    I've actually worked with several paedophiles (they're funnily enough just the kind of people HR types really like). Until they got caught downloading highly illegal child porn at work.

    These days in Ireland you're never more then a few feet from a drug dealer at any given time. Where do you think drugs are sold in modern Ireland? from dodgy corpo flats,,, or from a shiny middle managers desk?

    I would love to see a former recruitment agent write a book about their "industry" -- it can be really sick and twisted.
