Balloon Possible scam?
I'm not sure where to post this. Everytime I try to post it tells me I can't cause I don't have enough posts. Are you telling me you need me to talk? Not a problem! lol.

At any rate, a friend contacted me about a va position she wanted to apply for. I'm kind of protective of her because she's new. So I told her not to apply for anything that sounded too good to be true.

What do you think? Has anyone heard of this one?

It's on jobspider and many more, an ad for a personal assistant. BEWARE! I sent a request to the BBB to check it out. Here is his ad: http://thejobspider.com/job/view-job-3011385.html.

Here's what I found on BBB http://www.bbb.org/us/article/492.

What in this world ever happened to integrity????? I hope nobody gets scammed by this, if it is a scam. Don't wanna trash the guys name till I know for sure, but, it smells scamish to me!

Janie,

The post has been removed from jobspider. They are pretty good about catching these type of posts but you still need to be careful about what is out there.
