Amway of talent

Hi, Well after reading all the posts, I was very curious and decided to have a look at the site. (I have really good virus protectors on my compter, the ones that you pay for) The site is definately a pyramid selling marketing strategy. Very clever actually. People get sucked into this sort of thing all the time. Although the more people you can suck into it the more money you can make. Sort of the 'Amway' of talent agencies but you are not really getting anything tangable out of it. It is a go between service and indirect spam service. You sign up which costs you money and then you spam others to sign up so that you can make money on who you sign up and every time someone that you have signed up signs someone up you get a percentage and so on. Typical pyramid selling. You can also become what they term as a 'Casting Manager' which means that you research what jobs are out there and spam that to prosective (wanting) people and if they decide that they would like to look at the job, you make money. If you like spaming people to be really annoying or alienating your friends...... This sort of site wont get you a job but you will be making money for someone else. Stick to the reputable networks to finding out about jobs. Do the legwork yourself. Don't fall for this crap. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. JennyFer
