Answer 1

I created a blog on my 360 web page on different home based business opportunities for both on line as well as off line work. A lot of information on scams and what to look for, the truth about people calling various different things a scam, businesses registered with the BBB, as well as many other things you can learn about. The blog is geared up for home based business opportunities, but the information can be used to distinguish if a home job is legitament or not.

Answer 2

It's a scam.



The payments that you process are forgeries - you send the money before you find that out and then you're on the hook to the bank for the entire amount of the check.



Since you're also helping to launder money for organized crime, you can also be jailed for racketeering.



Run away.

Answer 4

Ashley furniture is a real company. It's odd that you got this email w/o asking for it. If you recently supplied your name to a mailing list for a another job offer, they sold your name to Ashley w/o your consent. If you want to apply for any job with this company, do so through their official channels and not this email.

Answer 5

this is a scam and not real
