Its Gypsee Bug. You have to purchase the window sticker andyou must refer3 people for each car. The website ishttp://gypsybug.com/. They pay the first of each month at $1.32 a day via check or paypal. Oh yes and the sticker is $19.95. I have never done work for them but I have always wondered about them. If anyone has experience with this company please post it, good or bad. This is how we learn! Edited by: WahDiva

This company does NOT pay! All they do is help themselves to your account once a month for the $19.95 fee that they claim they reimburse you immediately afterwards. They don't. That is, until you report them to paypal for fraud. You'll see a refund within 12 hours.

Wow Abe thanks for your post. I have always wondered about these people. The lady tried to make it seem as if she was gonna get the $19.95 that one time before you start working and then there would not be anymore charges. Tisk Tisk...shameful! Thanks again Abe!

That's what he tells you. Then you get into the details. The $19.95/month is a "subscription" to post ads on his website. He 'reimburses' you because he 'legally' cannot give you a free account because of the sticker.
You then get paid for having the sticker on the back of your car. It's something like 10 cents or 25 cents for each person that you refer to have it up there. If you refer the 3 people, he pays you the other $30/month for having the sticker on the back of your car.
I spent a long time on the phone with the founder of this 'company' as I was looking at it to eventually post on here AFTER checking it out. After all, if you post a lead on here, if it turns out to be a scam, it reflects back on the original poster of that particular lead. I would recommend flagging this and every other one by this ad. It's always a phone number which gives you all sorts of information then tells you to call another phone number to register. They never send you to the website.

My above post wasn't hitting on you posting it, just to clarify. I checked into this back in November/December.
