A Little Fishy

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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).
