Offer for writings, compensation up to $500

pt2588,

Just got this. This "lucrative" offer landed in my junk mail box today 11/14/2011. The website of the "company" named International Business Partnerships is pretty basic and amateurish. The life time membership fee is "just" $47.00. The rest follows:

I am not sure it is a scam as such but a dodgy work from home offer and misleading. I wouldn't touch it with a 20 ft pole. Nobody can be taught to churn out articles and stories, a certain amount of long education, language skill, talent, and practice comes into it.

Hi pt2588,

As Began said, this is not necessarily a scam. It appears to be a spammer using a name which is used by some legitimate businesses to recruit people to learn how to spam sites with their garbage on forums and other sites.

You would not ever make $100 to $500 per hour or per article. That would be part of the scam, you will never make that kind of money. This part is a tip off to me:

P.S: You don't have to posses any kind of technical skills, salesmanship, or writing skills with this job because you will get personal step by step training with a personal success adviser to help you learn and get started.

I sure wouldn't send them any money or give them any identifying information.
