Scam

Legitimate companies never ask for money upfront. Its a scam.

Answered by Jane

If it was legitimate they wouldnt charge you up front they would just take the 20.00 from your first paycheck. This is a scam to get thousands of people to send them 20.00

Answered by hummingbird

This is obviously a scam.

Answered by Caytlyn S

Dont send them any money. Just tell them to deduct the 20 from the first application you process.

Okay so honestly I am not sure either. I have been emailing her she says her name is Katie for the past few days and it took her the longest to respond to my question about the company name. She says it is called DK Ad Processing. I looked it up with foggy results so it is on the fence. I am asking her how I might go about paying her and if I can speak to someone on the phone when I have questions. We shall see...I never part with my money blindly...I am going to request that they simply deduct the materials fee however.
