hi,

i have recently been job hunting and this website came up on a job application site about working at home.
it seems very good, and in many ways that leaves me to be unsure!

Hi Charley, welcome to Scamwarners.

A quick search on Google brings up this link

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/sho ... ?p=9782417

http://dropshipforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=6226

And a look at the web site, doesn't make me feel any better about it.

2 of the links go to the same page, you can't access further unfo with a log in, and from the discussions on the above links, all you are doing is advertising the same job.

Sorry, but in my opinion, it's a scam

There is a possibility that this isn't a scam, but I'd say that it certainly isn't a good job with a legitimate company despite them saying it in a bold font.
To me, anyone who makes a point of saying that this deal is 100% risk free, or that their offer is totally legitimate is probably talking out of their blow hole.

The details of the job a hazy, but it seems that you spam places with advertisements and then "process" anyone who responds.

Now the advertisements are probably for the above site and the bonus for them is the £27 initiation fee. I'm not sure if you'd every get your money back.

It could be some kind of ponzi scam i suppose.

The who is has the same name and address as the contact details, but i would like to know what kind of "responsible company who take [their] Business extremely seriously" would not list a phone number. I would also like to hear how in only 3 months could they have "built up an excellent reputation" and if they are doing so well, why has the website only been rented for one year?

I'm not sure what they are doing, but definitely stay away.

Hi Charley :D

I asked a fake site expert from aa419.org and 419Eater to look at this site.

I am posting her comments here, with her permission:

It is of course a 100% scam. It looks to be one of those "email processing" scams where you have to pay 27 GBP for the "privilege" of the "opportunity."

They remind me of the "work at home stuffing envelopes" type of "job."

I looked at the site's registration--the typical registered for one year, recent (May) registration, and very false WHOIS details. No valid address nor phone number on the website, only way of contacting is through email.

Looking at it, it may also be some type of mule scam that is being alluded to vaguely here:


You will be paid £20 - £35 for each order you process, For example; if you process just 10 orders in a week you will make £200 - £350 weekly. The amount of money that you earn is entirely up to you - it depends on the amount of time and effort you choose to put in.

It takes 15-20 minutes to process an order, so for an hours work you will have earned yourself at least £60.00, and that is just an hour a week! What if you did an hour a day? You can soon see the potential here!

You will be responsible for keeping track of your earnings for tax, this is entirely your responsibility.



So, whether it's email processing or some type of money laundering, it is definitely dodgy and I'd tell anyone to steer very clear of this "legitimate" offer.


So, along with the advice from John and Newdonym, I say yes, you should steer clear of this.
