Default Re: Lotus, A luxury goods company - possible scam
I actually rec'd a reply and did open the attachment (a word doc with out any company letterhead, address, NOTHING to ID who or what or where...)

I honestly can't tell if it's a scam or just really shoddy paperwork BUT the doc is a 'contract' of sorts and if you sign it you are labeled 'Employee'.
There is NO info about rate of pay, compensation for the 'employee' or what the actual job is.
Also, the domain they use for email comes up as a 403 (forbidden)

Either way, not something I would bother to pursue.
Just because I felt like playing Devil's advocate, I wrote back and told her what I thought of her 'contract' and it's lack of real info as well as defined the role of a VA for her.
