Complaint Review: ARA Staffing

This company (companies??) began sending me suspicious looking emails a few days ago about Staffing Positions Nationwide.  They said in their email that they pay $45,844/yr (1st year) but that Experienced Recruiters can earn - $81,535.  I started becoming extremely weary because that is a WHOLE LOT in the Oklahoma Job market, and, their email was very unprofessional and shady.  I wasn't expecting a response to mine, since I told them their email looked weird and wanted to know where they were located.  This Jade person answered me "Florida" but that all positions are nationwide.  (The exact city is Boca Raton.  You can see it when you go to their page to schedule an interview.)  This is the exact email they sent me, which you can see is very similar to ones others have been receiving:

I think it's very interesting that I have yet to receive an email confirming the cancellation of my interview thanks to all of the kind people who run this site and post on it.  (Bless you all.)  It's also very interesting that they are ARA staffing, but they are also Homfront Recruiting.  This sentence is just downright scary, " I may be compensated for any link you click in this email."  That leads me to believe that when I clicked on their link to schedule an interview, I may have gotten a virus.  I guess I will update you and let you know.  

Thank you all so much for letting me know about this SCAM (which was the first thing that came up when I Googled the company), and saying me time and frustration.  I never would have paid for the materials, but regardless, that is beyond irritating, and the word needs to get out how shady and what losers they are.  

Please beware of these people, and Rip Off Report, thank you very much!
