Hey guys, a mail was sent to me few days ago. The address is from 309 N. McKenzie Foley, Al 36535 U.S.A. (I wonder if this place exist.lol). Inside the envelop was a letter and the other is a fill-up form. They were saying that I applied to their company and I don't even remember any Mastercraft name. But I do remember one I contacted through email from a job posting online. That's why, I think we should really be careful to whom we are giving our personal information. I was just kinda curious about the job and contacted the employer. I don't remember how I gave him my address. It is written that they will look for a job for me anywhere abroad that will suit to my abilities or profession and they said they will aid 95% of the travel fare for the mean time and just pay it after. And they are asking $25 as a down payment and as fee for their service of searching and matching a job for me. I searched directly in the internet about mastercraft, there are only one exact or the same discussion in a forum but the answer was so vague. What do you think fellow myLoters? Is mastercraft a scam? Well I won't pay either what ever happens. There's no assurance. Thanks!

Hi, summer77! I can't tell you if MasterCraft Company is a scam, but i can tell you that Foley, Alabama exists. I have never heard of this company. I have always thought that if i had to pay for a job, then it is a scam. I would not pay.

I'm thinking about that too dmrone. By the way I checked their website as stated in the letter. Their website is http://mastercomapany.com. Now I remember I signed up in their app link because of curiousity. It says they offer Worldwide Employment assistance and they've been over 15 years in service. The managing director is Richard Kelly. Me too would think this is probably a scam. Thanks, and have a nice day!

It sounds a lot like a fake website because they are asking for money without any proof that they are a legit company. If they did not give much information or tried to avoid any way of identifying who they were, I wouldn't trust them.
