I browsed craigslist and found this pretty cool job posting.

I emailed my resume over and they gave me a site where I was supposed to pick my interview time.
http://www.allindustrystaffing.com/register.php
This is where things started to get iffy. I googled Recruting Experts and couldn't find any link back to that page. I registered anyway, what was the worst that could happen? They emailed me back within a day or two with another site to visit where I would pick my interview time:
http://www.YourDirectLogin.com
The interview was this big chatroom type deal, one of the interviewers was on a webcam going over how the buisness works. He said they have many companies who come to them looking to fill jobs. It was up to us, the recruiters, to find appropriate people to fill these jobs. After successfully filling those jobs, we'd earn compensation. Anywhere from $2,000-12,000 per job, working from home. They opened up the chat log for the interviewees (about 200 of us) to ask questions. It was full of people asking basic questions in broken english, poor grammer, or all caps. Every few minutes someone with a fancy sounding name would post a very well-worded testimonial, about how they started making 4k a month, etc. It would start off "I used to be a...making this much a year, then I found this site...making tons more a year...etc." More fishy stuff.
At the end of the little presentation, those interested in the 25 open positions were required to pay a $300 "Association Fee" to secure their job. This fee was guaranteed to be reimbursed by your first paycheck. That's when I started googling. I began to find various scam reports about this company, many about "Recruiting Business, LLC" which I learned was the full name of the company. http://hubpages.com/hub/Craigslist-Jobs-Scam
I started asking more questions like if they had any testimonials from clients, why the fee was required if it was guaranteed to be reimbursed, and if they had any responses to these scam reports. They stopped making my chat public and started dodging my questions privately. I saw most of the open jobs being filled up to people who I could tell were being taken advantage of. I tried making my voice and my findings public but they kept blocking my chat. They eventually kicked me off the server. I felt proud that I had beaten this company by myself but disappointed at the same time that I could tell the others. So I'm just posting to make everyone more aware, do your research and ask your questions!
