Sounds like a scam to me. anytime you are required to send money sounds "fishy".

Definitely sounds like a scam. What is the IP address? The FBI also is interested in internet scams.

The first thing that comes to mind is a huge red flag. Beware. Do not respond.

Of course it is a scam. That deal is as phony as a three dollar bill. We have seen lots of things like this and wonder who on earth would ever fall for something like that. As others have said she will be left poorer then she is now.

I think this is a scam, check with the attorney general. My daughter sells Scentsy, its a wonderful product my neighbor sells Mary Kay. I would stick with a known company.

sounds like a money laundering scam and definitely not from the USA.

To me, the scam was evident when the words "in your good country United States of America' showed up in the sentence. Many scams have this wording. A lot of misspellings, capital letters out of place, etc. etc. etc. Appears the wording is legalese, but too much at best. For one thing, wouldn't there be contacts with a company before signing anything that has a dollar amount in it?
There is no way I would ever consider this legitimate. Ever.

Take it to your local bank or police department and you'll find out it IS a scam and don't call them if they give you a number or you will be paying overseas long distance costs which are exhorbitant!

Sounds like a money laundering scheme to me!

This is a major scam. Follow the advice on the above posts. Good luck on finding your "at home" job.
