Complaint Review: Web Star Company - Star Net - David Johnson

I received an email February 4th, 2008 from a Mr. David Johnson claiming to be the Human Resources manager for Star-Net LLC (see cut/paste email below). It even had a nice real-looking Logo. Well, it sounded "too good to be true"...especially the line that says you only need to work part time, 10 hrs per week, and from your home. Now, I do a lot of "from home" work in mystery shopping, auditing and merchandising so it's not unheard of to make good returns per/hour of work...but $700 seemed ridiculous. Well, I went to the website (and you can follow the link below) to check it out. It seems they've gone far enough to even _create_ an apparent web-site for this scam. I read over the web-site, scratched my head over the typo's and occasional poor grammar....then sent an inquiry through the website...which has never been answered (of course). I sent an email to Mr. Johnson telling him I was interested, and the next day I had an email called "Instruction Sheet" with an attachment that contained an "employment agreement". I have also cut and paste that email below. I tried calling the 800 number and it rang once and was instantly forwarded to Mr. Johnsons' Voice mail. I left a msg asking to have my questions answered before I sent in my employment agreement. I also asked if I must fax in my agreement of if I could scan and email. There has been no responses thus far.
