I was waiting for a vehicle from Bus Stop. When I was surprisely notice a banner stating that I could earn 8k to 15 monthly. So I texted up the number mentioned on that banner. I was able to receive a reply from them. They said the work is tagging names from different social sites. More details will be answered on the Orientation. I was afraid to attend the meeting since it will take place in Greenhills. Have you ever the banner that I encounter too? Did you attend? How was it?

really? I haven't encountered those. I think there's no harm on trying. Do some research if it is reliable or not. Just be careful, though. There are a lot of scam companies nowadays. If you feel like going, why don't you give it a try. By going to that meeting in Greenhills you will realize if it is true or not.

I haven't encountered something like that yet although I have received flyer that contains jobs like the one you have mentioned. I didn't try to text nor apply for I am afraid of what the modus of the people behind it. I make sure the job has a company name and search it if they are really legit. It's so hard to fall for numbers these days especially when it doesn't guarantee you anything.

Sounds too good to be true. 8-15 thousand just by tagging names in social sites? I agree with the others that this may just be another networking scam. A lot of networking companies have come and gone. The ending is quiet the same. Very few at the top of the network get lots of money while most just get scammed by promises of instant cash. You can go to their orientation and maybe try to see for yourself. But never make the mistake of becoming an accessory of scamming people.

I have never seen any banner like that nor have I ever heard of tagging. Before you decide to attend a meeting, make sure the company is real and make sure it's not illegal. It sounds like they want some one to retrieve information for them. Be careful.

Well, I have seen posters with the same message. I did texted the number indicated in the poster and told me the same answer you have got. I researched and asked people I knew about it and one friend of mine told me it's a networking strategy. Meaning, the business is a networking biz. Since I really don't patronize networking business that much, I declined to go to their "orientation". It's up to you if you want to attend. Some, not all, people earn in that way.

I foot believe in this kind of income opportunity. Most of them would actually just let you sell products. They just found ways and have been creative in doing so. A careful especially if the company seems suspicious. I would not believe it and trust them right away.

I bet it's just a way to get you to that venue and then they will either ask you to join which involves money or just plain outright ask you for money. We need to be smarter in these times. A lot of scams out there will really leave you empty. Stay on your toes the whole time and always keep your guard up.

I have never seen a banner like that before other than online. I would be leery of it though. It may be a scam.

Sounds too good to be true and living these days in a country were thousands of people are unemployed seems that the banner would be tempting to try particularly if you don't have to pay for anything. Just in case you decided to attend the seminar, do some research first just like what most members here suggested. Second, if you needed to pay them anything, don't. If it was MLM there are companies that are registered in DSAP (Direct Selling Association of the Phil.) and they are trusted, but if their company is not yet listed in DSAP, chances are slim and that will be a scam. Better to apply for a job rather than to join such,but it is still your choice, your move and your decision in life.

The mere fact they told you that more details will be answered on the orientation it is already understood that you are going to sell a product but you are going to shell out a big money so that you can work on networking. Usually it is like that. You are working to work as marketing which has something to do in networking. Unfortunately I am not interested with that.

hi syoti honestly it is nice if you see this work but you see there are many options maybe this is a scam, so for your safety try to get the company name or investigate before totally joining, try to browse for the net so that you can see if it scam or not , try also to ask other people about this program.

first thing to do: research the company? is it legit? what do you have to do? do you have to sell or promote products? or let other people join this company too you have to be careful nowadays, there are alot of people out there who would take advantage of those who are seeking to earn an "extra" income or a get rich type of job. Usually those kind of company are multi-level marketing (MLM). Going there, attending their OPP (orientation presentation of products) would be free. They would just tell you the company, their products and how you will earn income (by either selling their products, promoting the products and getting referrals to join the company and the people who agreed to join would be under you--that's it if you join the company) but beware that some of those MLM companies are SCAM. so be sure to know if it's legit. You just have to be wise on what MLM company to join and if you think the products would sell or if you are already a consumer of that product and if the "investment" is okey then it's up to you if you want to join or not :) my advice: if the company have alot of good reviews, you can attend the orientation (just be sure not to sign up on that day! just think carefully before joining them. don't be impulsive with your decision) and see for yourself if you can be one of them :) good luck!

What is the name of the company? Try to research about it more online then see if it is a scam or not. I somehow feel that it has something to do with selling products or services that is why the income is like that...8k to 15K.

I usually ignore those as even if I like what they offer I just don't have the ability or talent sad to say. Besides, there is a risk of getting scammed. Unless they show enough proof that they are legitimate I would rather just look at the opposite direction.

I haven't encounter that yet but make sure to research first the name of the company. Hopefully it is not a pyramiding or networking. I was also invited to be a trainer from a company in Ortigas Center. The offer is quite tempting but when I read the forums about this company, it is actually a scam, they will ask you to sell their products first and ask you to market it which is totally different from what they told me. I'm just saying to be careful and if you will visit the site, make sure you are not alone, just to make sure.
