Something doesn't sound quite right. It kinda sorta looks legit, and then again, it kinda sorta doesn't seem so legit.

No upfront money is required so if it sounds like something you want to do, further investigation is required. Have you checked out the company? You can research public records to find out more. I agree with getagrip. It sounds kinda sorta........But you never know, the world is changing rapidly and there may be something to this offer. Just be careful - if it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck, it is probably a duck.

I did google it but haven't much of anything besides this post and another job listing. I even searched the tax id they gave me. I have a weird feeling here so anything anyone can tell me would be appreciated.
