Your right it sounds suspicious. Sue

Why would any company have their employees accept payments for them??? That is just crazy and is indeed a scam.

Here's a site that is legitimate. allstayathome.com

Scam. Why would they keep saying in your country USA? Probably someone pays by check, and you have to put it in your bank, and send them the money fast before the bank finds out the check isn't any good. Hope your daughter finds something else. Good Luck to her.

Have her check with the Secretary of State office in her state....they will know if it is legit.

even the language used sounds like the writer didn't learn English in the USA. They indicate that they are not in the USA by the term "your good country".

You probably (I cant know for sure) get the check, cash it, send them their share, then you learn the check is no good. Guess who is out the money.

Or the person sending the check is ok, but they do not receive the goods they are paying for and guess who they come after. You got their money and are the only person they report about the fraud.

It's definitely not something I would sign up for, as it sounds like a scam to me. Here's a website with ideas for making money from home:

I'd say the call centers sound like the most reliable.

NOTE............No name of business or contact address or telephone (Red Flag). That is so you can not report to your state's Attorney General's office. (This is the department that will verify and/or will check on a business's authenticity.
