I came across one of these ads while searching through one of the popular job board websites. It is for Data Entry/Ad Typist job that claims you will make $250-$500 a week by typing ads, all that you have to do is send $15 for the "training materials". Well, my curiosity got the best of me, so I bought into it to see what it was all about. Just as I thought, it was a SCAM!!! The so-called "training materials" only gives you tips on how to repost the same ad that you replied to and what to tell people when they inquire about it. So, your $15 pays for information on how to rip people off! My advice to you is just like the old saying, 'If it sounds to good to be true, then more that likely it probably is'! Stay away from these type of ads because it's false advertising and I'm sure they are illegal as well!

Thanks for the tip. I actually came across a few of those and decided against it especially when they asked for money up front then the materials later.
