2. Misrepresent the nature of the job.
3. Fail to give the company name so that the person cannot immediately check to see how good or bad it is.
4. Engage in deception or out and out lie about the level of compensation offered.
5. Offer unrealistically high compensation in return for no experience or skills.
An "employment ad" that did any of those things would be a red flag as far as I'm concerned. What's remarkable when it comes to the example shown here is how it incorporates all of these things in one "ad".
An "ad" that poses as just a friend offering anyone who needs aid a great job with great pay and bennies.
The sad reality is that they would be hard pressed to find 2 people making $680 a week there, given that to do that you'd have to either sell a $450 kitchen knife set to over a dozen people each week....or "demonstrate" the product in a 45 minute sales pitch 8 times a day, 5 days a week.
Remember - if someone, anyone, has to play it this way, it cannot be for a good thing. Picture any good company doing this with lies, trickery, manipulations and cons.
Good companies do not do that. Good people do not do that. I'd have more respect - I'd have any respect at all - for the person who posted this scam ad if they'd posted, "Hi, I work for Vector, a Multi-Level Marketing company! I know many believe all that stuff to be a scam, but I think it's great! I can help show you how to try and sell knife sets on commission, and if you can then convince others under you to sell even more, then you can potentially make a lot of money! True, that only happens for 1 out of 1,000 people, and the other 999 won't even break even let alone make a dime, but maybe you will be the lucky one, even though I'd rather that be me! Call me!"
But I guess this isn't a business where honesty would get them very far, is it?
