Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I love Craigslist, and let me start off by saying that this is not an attack on the site, but rather some of the crap that leaks into it. Craigs list has provided me with many legit job leads, but some scammers leak through. It's a big site, it's unavoidable.

Below is an email I recieved in reply to my resume, to a supposedly " Legit data entry job, making up to 500 dollars a week"

They didn't mention any fee's, but I was made aware that they do.

This is a very common email I hear, so anyone that recognizes this, STAY AWAY, they only want to rip you off through paypal.

"Hi, Let me start by saying my name is Cherie and I am a stay at home wife. When I started this I was curious if it was going to work. It really does. You just have to work a little bit everyday. This is legitimate. Below you will find the description of the job and I hope that you will email me back if you have any other questions. I will help you along the way. Thank you for your interest in the position. Here is some more information about the job... JOB DESCRIPTION

As with any job, you must be willing to work hard and try to respond to the orders in a timely manner.

first day. One of my partners had 11 on her first day and by the end of week she could of processed 46 orders. Some start up fees are as high as $30.00 or more. We have tried to keep ours low. Please understand that as

much as I would like not to charge this small processing fee, we must protect ourselves from those who are not serious about this work. Be assured, that you will recover this fee after processing your first order.

The Training Materials will automatically be sent to your e-mail after your payment is received, you can then get started right away.

If you do not have a PayPal account, you may go to PayPal.com to open a free account, so you can get paid for your work and purchase your materials. You may use me as a reference [email protected]. Please email me as soon as you make your payment via Paypal so I can expedite materials to you. Payment at Paypal.com for $20.00 goes to [email protected]. Thank You and I hope you join our team!"

This lady thinks I'm going to give her 20 bucks when she isn't even providing a company NAME or phone number? I don't think so.

This email is in large circulation, just a little warning to beware. And remember, you should NEVER have to pay your employer, it should be the other way around.

These scammers need to be stopped

Thanks for posting that. You are right, CL is a GREAT site. But I would NEVER pay someone for a job, that doesn't even make sense. Yet I read here everyday about people losing money, anywhere for $20 to $20,000+. Sad. I haven't seen the particular job you referenced and don't know anything about it, but one need only glance at the classifieds there to see scam after scam.
