I've been out of the job market for a few months while I got my act together and focused on school for a bit. I've been searching for part time work for a few weeks to no avail, but I just recently received an e-mail through Yahoo! HotJobs from a recruiter for a company called "Western" or "Western Metro Corp.". This is their website: http://properadvance.com/
Below is the e-mail I received as to what the job entails (tldr: Work at Home, $19 an hour, minimum of 20-30 hours a week):
A google search for the company, as well as a search on Rip-Off Report yield no results, so I can't really find out more about the company. What do you guys think about this? Should I "apply" and see where it goes, or should I just stay away?
