Found an ad on craigslist for an email processor employment opportunity. Can't figure out if it is a scam or not. Have not contacted them just looked at there website. Seems strange they would pay you $25 to process 1 email.
And you also have to post 3 ads a day to craigslist for them ? It is some kind of a religious ministry site. Anyway here is the employment opportunity link in there website

A legitimate religious organization:
a) does not need to privacy-protect its domain registration
b) does not post scam moneymaking opportunities on the internet.

The website itself looks bogus. Notice that there is no phone number listed, the contact page is blank, and the "location" page only lists a city. Again, not signs of a legitimate religious organization. Basically it is a bogus religious page set up to make a scam seem more legitimate (because people are often more trusting when religion is involved.)

And that is exactly what this is: a scam that has been around for years. It's the old envelope-stuffing scam reincarnated.

You need to pay a small $25 registration fee to get the info you need to get started. You're not paying for employment, you're paying for our services in bringing you this incredible opportunity...


So basically it's not a job at all. You send them $25 and they will provide you with "instructions" for their "moneymaking" opportunity that aren't worth 5 cents. Basically, you post ads and your income is dependent on others falling for them and losing their money (and that's assuming that the people behind the scam actually pay out--often they take your fee and never pay a penny even if you find other victims.) At best, you waste a lot of time and money for little or no profit. At worst, you end up in a much bigger mess as you get caught up in a pyramid scheme.

Here's a report from someone who fell for a similar scam: http://www.ripoffreport.com/r/Emailprocessing4cash-Email-Processor/internet/Emailprocessing4cash-Email-Processor-process-emails-at-home-at-home-business-Internet-353485
