I applied for a position listed in the Herald-Times and got it! The bad part is something just seems a little fishy. I did some exhaustive research regarding this “industry,” as there are many other companies that do the same exact thing. I couldn’t find any pending litigation, or scams relating to this. So I’m taking a chance.
The “official” title is, Online Store Administrator. When it comes down to it, I’m just scanning pre-paid online game cards and sending them to “My Boss.”
Here are the instructions I was given regarding the position:
I was not given any further instructions, including an important step in the process. Where to send it to.
When I ask questions, I’m lucky to get a response I understand.
Although everything doesn’t seem to be on the “up and up,” this could be a very lucrative venture. I will supposedly be paid $23 for each card I scan. I asked how many I will receive per day, week, etc. and got this as a response, “usually it’s about 5-7 per once.”
WTF does that mean? I sent another email asking for clarification, and I’m still waiting on a response.
Whaaat? That sounds more than just a little fishy. How the heck do they make money, anyway? You said you did some research on the industry — I’d be curious what you scared up. And please be very careful.
I agree, dear. I just don’t think it is worth it, and I would prefer you not do it. It seems a bit fishy (to say the least).
