After responding to an ad for an article marketer I got this email. Is this just a way to get people to join sites?

I think I've seen these mentioned before - SCAM.

Why would you have to register with your credit card information in order to get work? I would think someone really writing for them would be able to access the site without forking over financial information such as credit card numbers. Plus, that's basically $30 per 100 word review. Not likely legit.

I believe they are simply trying to attract more people to their site in hopes that some (and many will) forget to remove their credit card information. They get charged the fees and legally so since they gave their personal information away. I wouldn't do it if I were you.
