I found this posted on a local news web site today and I'm thinking it must be a scam, especially since you have to pay $10 for access and it's non-refundable. I've searched two different wah boards but haven't seen this company.

It's basically copying and pasting email....and I know what you all say! "If it sounds to good to be true...."

Yep, you're right...it's a scam. smileys/smiley11.gif
The fact that you have to pay something (ESPECIALLY when it's non-refundable!), and the fact that they don't even have their own domain name (but are using tripod's free hosting) are big red flags. But even if those red flags weren't there, most "email processor" jobs are scams regardless. (Unfortunately, because it sure would be nice if it were true, wouldn't it? I'd love a job like that myself!)
