Anyone heard of these guys?
Their ads have appeared in local papers all over the palce.
No website/nothing more than an email address to apply to but they have been a registered ltd since 2009.
Looking to apply anyway but thought I'd ask to see if I'm wasting my time - which I think I might be.

€360 pw part time
Range of areas of work

No qualifications and no fees (yeah I thought this part strange.

Anyway, feedback/stories welcome.

=============================================================

Igot an automated answer back. Doing surveys. Looks like a waste of time.

Yep appently I have to do a review on western union when I transfer the money it all seems abit weird

I wonder if this might be a scam of some sort........

OK, I though this would go without saying, but this is 100% a scam. They give you a cheque, it will clear into your bank, you sent them money by Western Union. A couple of weeks later the bank will phone you and say the cheque was stolen or fake, they will then take the money out of your account and you will have to pay the bank back.

This scam is very old and I can't believe anyone would still fall for it.

Phone the fraud section in your bank. Ignore any further contact from the chancers.

In a social welfare office

That's beyond strange, was it on a notice board or did the welfare officer inform you of it?

Either way, you need to contact them ASAP.

The add was in the local free newspaper, a full page add to the left of the appointments page. These ads are routinely put up in the intero office for the information of the job seekers. I think I may still have the ad. I'll post if I have.

The only thing I got was the auto reply so I knew then it was a scam.

Like you said; a lot of local SW outlets had this ad and the chamber of commerce even had it on their Facebook page.

Guess people were just trying to help.

Hope no one got caught with it.
