I received several emails from those "money-mule molesters" and the thing is I answered one of them.. so i search google about a website that features list of fake companies so that whenever a "client" emailed me, I would check their company at http://www.fraudwatchinternational.co m/fake-jobs/ ---> actually this site is really helpful so I strongly recommend you bookmark this one... a little background check wouldn't hurt right?

Since minimum wage is $5.85 per hour as of July 24, 2007 I would say their wage is a little low. My daughter makes more as a hostess for Friendly's. __________________ Lisa Olinda of Olinda Services Keeping you on the path to success! www.olindaservices.com

This is one of the most notable aspects of the employee vs independent contractor debate that has been going on for quite some time...
