SCAM ALERT - scammers are posting bogus ads promising (non-existent!) employment, paid research trials, or other compensation, on sites like craigs llist and other sites  such as my guestbook, but then notifying repliers that they'll need to jump through a hoop first, directing them to:

background checking services,credit checking or reporting sites, sites where you are instructed to enter your resume, or other personal information sites where you are asked to sign up for a "free" trial offer, sites offering training or education, sites offering a "system" for making money survey, or focus group sites sites designed to deliver malware or misuse your identifying information.

All  of these in hopes of earning affiliate marketing commissions, or otherwise profiting at the expense of persons seeking employment.

There are ots of variations on this scam, but each generally involves dangling (non-existent!) compensation, and then directing you to a website whereyou are asked to sign up for something, use your credit card, or input personal information such as your email address.

While any such posts are daily eliminated from my guest book, reader be warned and do not fall for any such scams.

FUN FACT: If you are able to determinea scammer's "affiliate ID" and report it to their affiliate marketing program, this will often result in termination of the scammer, and confiscation of the scammer's ill-gotten gains by the affiliate program.
