Legit?

Can someone tell me if this is legit?






Thank you for your interest in working from home as a Home Office Rep. I can
promise you now that this is no "spam thing" or anything like that. You
don't
have to stuff envelopes and no telemarketing! I've been doing this job for 4
months now and I'm a stay at home mom so this works really well for me. Here
is
some more information on the position:

DUTIES: You will be processing orders from your computer. The order apps
will be
sent directly to your e-mail and it will be your responsibility to follow up
with them. The duties of this position are listed below.

Customer Service via Email -
Providing customer service to those who respond via email with questions
about
marketing promotions.

Internet Marketing -
Entering promotional scripts via Internet (Scripts will be provided with
Materials).

Product Support -
Ensuring that business products are delivered promptly and accurately via
Email.


REQUIREMENTS: You will need a computer with Internet access, a valid email
address, good typing skills, and basic Internet knowledge. The salary for
this
position is $200-$1000 per week, depending on if you are working part or
full
time. You can choose to work part time or full time. The more you work, the
more
money you will make! It is recommended that you work at least 15 hours a
week,
but there is no limit on how much you can work. You will need an e-mail
account,
as that is where all of your orders will be sent. You do not have to contact
anyone by telephone, as all of our contact is done via e-mail. As with any
job
you must be willing to work hard and be organized. Please only SERIOUS
applicants who are 18 or older.

COMPENSATION: You will be paid $20.00 for each application you process via
e-mail and nothing else - no stuffing envelopes or calling people. For
example,
if you process 25 applications in a week, you will make $500.00 weekly. The
amount of money that you earn is entirely up to you; it depends on the
amount of
time and effort you choose to put forth. The average person makes
$400.00-$700.00 per week. You will be responsible for keeping track of your
earnings for your taxes, as we do NOT take out any taxes or provide you with
a
1099 form. This is entirely your responsibility.

METHOD OF PAYMENT: You will receive your pay through PayPal. PayPal is a
secure
website, so you do not have to worry about giving out any of your personal
information to people you do not know. You will be paid per application
processed. When an application is completed, $20.00 will be credited to your
PayPal account, which can be withdrawn into your bank account at your
leisure.
There is no minimum amount required before you get paid. You can read more
about
security policies at www.paypal.com.

TRAINING: The training materials you receive will give you step-by-step
instructions on how to get started. We will tell you all you need to know to
essentially run your own business. You will be self-employed, we are just
providing you with the training you need to do so. Please know that this
training is complete, you will not have to pay for anything once you are
finished. You will also not need to solicit other businesses for work. Once
you
finish the training you will be ready to start working!

HOW LONG IS THE TRAINING: Most applicants complete the training within 24
hours
or less. However, you can do this at your leisure. Keep in mind that the
sooner
you go through the training materials, the sooner you will start making
money. I
will be able to be contacted via e-mail at anytime after you have received
your
training materials to help you get started, or answer any questions you may
have.

OK, SO HOW DO I APPLY?

There is a one-time non-refundable fee for the training package. This also
includes all processing fees and training costs. We offer training and
support
for as long as you are in business. The fee must be received before your
training materials can be sent. We must charge this fee to cover training
costs,
processing fees, as well as to ensure that only serious applicants apply.
There
are no additional costs after this fee. Absolutely NO hidden costs. With
that
said, you will make the entire fee back when you process your first
application.

You're probably thinking to yourself, Do I really want to spend $20.00 on
something that might not be for me?? You can take my word for it, $20.00 is
nothing compared to the income potential. This is an awesome work
opportunity! This payment will be made electronically through Paypal (our
Online Payment Company of choice). To ease any worry you may have, Paypal
has a MONEY BACK GUARANTEE that if you pay for an item and do NOT receive it
- they will refund your money

If you are ready to begin your new career, then please take the next step.
If
you already have a Paypal account then you may go directly to your account
and
send payment that way. If you choose to do it that way, please send the
$20.00
payment to ambersmailbox@gmail.com and in the comment section write Training
Packet Fee. Also, if you would like the packet sent to an e-mail address
other
than the one linked to your Paypal account, include this in the comments.
If you are registering with paypal please put ambersmailbox@gmail.com as the
reffered account. Thank you.

If you do not have a Paypal account, you will need to set one up(as this is
how
you receive YOUR pay.). Simply go to www.paypal.com and sign up for a
personal
account. If you have any problems with this, let me know and I will help you
get
registered.

**Please Note** If you send the payment by credit or debit card, you will
receive the training materials within 48 hours. If payment is made with an
E-check, the training package will be sent when the check clears (usually
takes
3-4 business days)

Thanks again for your interest in this position! I hope to hear from you
soon!
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

The whole PayPal method of payment raises a red flag for me.

She probably saw "Home Office" at the top of the post and thought it said "Home Depot".
