    I think the China in the website name says it all! I never buy anything from China unless it comes from a highly rated seller on Ebay. Simply throwing money away otherwise.

    At this stage nearly everything you buy comes from China.

    I find any vacancy that says anything like 'LOTS OF OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE!!!' with that use of block capitals and superfluous exclamation marks is probably a scam. Especially if they also say 'GRADUATE!!!OPPORTUNITIES!!!' A friend went to one, and they said that everyone started on commission door-to-door sales, and then they moved onto the next round of interviews. They were like 'yeah, of course'

    They always claim to be 'Marketing' companies, but some of them are vaguer. The trouble is some might legitimately exist as a business. The website, to a layman, looks decent enough, but is strangely uninformative. They'll have a street address and an office, but it'll probably be some cheap and nasty room in some office block. You'll probably see them in a conference room of some kind that they've hired for the afternoon.

    No one is ever hiring lots of people, especially not good jobs.
