First of all hello all! My first post and I wasn't sure where to post it. I saw you guys have a "shiТ list" but since this is unconfirmed I thought this shouldn't go there. So I'm trying to find a job, and after many applications I get a response (next day, on a Sunday). It looks like an automated response, where they invite me to a webinar and ask me what time I'd like to pick.

So I went to their website, and read their admission process...

The Process

1. Submit application and resume via email to (can't post)Application Packet
>> After review of candidate information, an interview session is scheduled.

2. Submit a $30.00 Administration fee via Web Store. wow... just wow

3. Complete the automated voice assessment.

4. Background check will be submitted.

5. Complete CSP Certification 101.

6. Upon successful completion of CSP 101, enroll in client course.

* Admissions Process time frame is 5-7 business days.



Then I went to see that their domain was registered on December 18, Facebook page on 23rd and twitter around same time. All are pretty empty and all with marketing info about hiring people.
Ok, so I'm not an idiot, I know a pretty obvious scam if I see one, I just want to be 100% sure that way if I get to actually talk to anyone I can be as smartass as I can and just rub it in their face :D
So I can't post links, so just google BLG Multiservices it will be first website (other than Facebook page)

If you can find more definitive proof that would help a lot. I just don't want to look like an idiot if by some miracle they are legit.
 
Hmm I remember something similar when I was looking for a job. Short story: I didn't apply because it reeked of MLM and the whole setup was very ad-hoc: a floor in a building, everybody student and bright-eyed idiot was going in for the interview. They told me that the application fee was for the books and materials I would need to study to pass the course, and of course the only place to buy the books was from them. The interviewers were terrible, very robotic and scripted - put me off instantly.

Nose around, ask the interviewer questions, get the vibe of the whole setup. Don't get me wrong, if you can make it in MLM and network marketing, you can probably make it anywhere as you'll learn sale skills/discipline that you wouldn't have the opportunity anywhere else. But that's only if that's what you want. If not, there are other places to get a job.
 
search google with the name and u'll find if its scam or not. or input the sentences of the text
 
Thanks guys... actually google didnt turn up anything about it probably because it's so new... that was pretty much the whole reason I wanted some reassurance.

Is vistaprint a free host that they often use?

I think they get a month free trial, nobody serious uses it.

I checked the PP of that site and it is linked to something called Pookiepoo's Keepsakes & Favors http://www.pookiepoos.com

Don't bother using them.
 
It is a scam I personally never heard of any company charging you money to work for them!
Pretty low thing to do scamming people who probably are already down on their luck looking for work.
