YES, that is a scam. They ask you to take checks (forged), cash them and send them a portion of the money - you keep some ($700). What happens is that the person here in the states ends up having cashed umpteen dollars worth of forged checks and has to reimburse the bank for ALL the money (plus gets hit with criminal charges sometimes).

the first clue to a scam is the strange wording in these ads. The english does not flow.. is spotty. What is an ATTESTATION? "your good country of the ...." sounds weird to me. This to me is obviously a scam. Report it and stay away....IMHO.

SCAM! I think I've posted legitimate WAH companies here before - I made a very good supplemental income for many years with some of the legitimate companies, until I could no longer work for health reasons (can't speak for very long anymore)
