You don’t have to sell this so cheap!

I used to sell stuff on CL just like you were doing to pay my bills. I ended up realizing a lot of people get ripped off, its over-all NOT SAFE anymore to meet people from craigslist. A friend of mine told me about an amazing website and said I should check it out so I did. I made about $4000 last month. I’m making more than I was at my regular job. If you want to try it visit http://www.googlework.info
If you need help getting started please let me know.

Welcome to scamwarners, please edit your personal information otherwise you will receive more of this :D

Hello wonderingTexan, and welcome to ScamWarners.

To add to Norman's information....

A look at the Terms and Conditions of this 'Home Income Kit' reveals:

- The full cost (without CDs,DVDs, books, other training materials) is over $80.
- The information on the website is not necessarily factual.
- The 'product' does not necessarily bring any benefit to you.

When you order the Trial you will be charged only $2.97 for access to the training program. You will have a full 5 day trial period from your original purchase date to decide if the program is right for you. At the end of your 5 day trial period you will be charged $78.98 for access to the program.

All Product specifications, performance data and other information on the Website is for informational and illustrative purposes only, and do not constitute a guarantee or representation that the Products will conform to such specifications or performance data.

We do not warrant or represent that Our Products will provide you with any particular benefits, or that your results will match those of others who consume Our Products.

It is not stated if the training material is essential, nor how much it costs, there is just a passing reference to it:

Your CD's, DVDs, Books or other training material that you may have ordered....

From the above, it is clear that a buyer needs to pay out a fair amount of money for something that is not guaranteed to be of any benefit. Myself, I would not be willing to do that.

This scam has been around a while. Here is a previous discussion regarding the same scam. The website continues to change, but the scam itself remains the same.
