I've had a look online , and some websites say its a scam, and some say its legit
Two hours a week, for five days working from home, and recieving 1500 a month does sound too good to be true.
Anyone had any experience or knowledge on this?
Thanks

I've never heard of an employer sounding so desperate for casual employees, requesting no real requirements and offering 'limited time offers'. Remember it's the job-seeker that does the job searching, only high-value individuals get job hunters. If you don't think your worth it then why do you think that an employer will, unless of course there is no real employer.

If it was unsolicited that I'm sure it is a scam.

Think about it, why would a reputable company send out random emails to people offering them jobs they haven't applied for, and not even list any real requirements! I'm guessing these are all going to hotmail accounts? Notorious for spam.

Please run for your dear life, sadly I fell a victim they will steal money from someone's acct and transfer to ur acct and ask u towithdrawthe money and transfer to them via western union. They did that to me and the bank discovered it was a fraudulent transfer and blocked the acct. they are heartless people. pls avoid them
