Sure...I'm going to pay him $25 to consider my sewing sample and maybe offer me a job. I wonder if anyone is going to actually fall for it:<

"
hello my name is ty and im looking for a partner for my business. yet these are the following reqirements. You must have your own sewing machine one that can sew thick matiral and must know what your doing. all that are intrested must give a example of their skills with a sew machine and sewing a quick pattern for i can see.25 dollar appication fee for those apply. if you know your good then you should get hired and your 25 will come right back to you due to i have clients waiting for this product of mine but i dont know how to sew that good thats why im posting this ad.if interested call or text xxx-xxx-xxxxx thank you "

I removed the phone # as I don't want anyone here falling for it! Scammers are everywhere.

Sounds like those scams where someone hires someone and that someone hires someone else, on and on and on.

Where did he learn to spell? Let me get this straight you send him money and a sewn item, and if he hires you you might get it returned? I don't think I'd fall for this at all.

Hehe! This product he's got in demand may be the "samples" people will send him to get the job. hahaha!

And from the sounds of it you get to do all the work as he can't sew.

What a joke! It's so imbecilic it's silly. Unfortunately it's always the sweetest and most honest people who believe this stuff and get taken.
