Ouch! This is true story, at least for me... and not a single time, but more than once. There's so much hunger for a job here, that only "offers" like that are given, and sometimes I wondered if they sooner or later will ask to be paid for making me work! :(
Ponzi schemes are shit...
I know so many people this has happened to! That’s why my mind jumped to that while I was writing this story. Someone just told me about how they were lured into this right after they had graduated from college and were hurting for a job.
