There's a $US50 signup "fee" then significant ongoing monthly fees. This
is not a job... just another MLM scam.

And that one bites the dust as well.

Looks like an MLM Pyramid scheme to me.
With currently 2082 page views, that's a lot of broken dreams if even 5% of people took her up.

Not a job offer but "Build Your MLM Business - A Must Have Report" from
trader brookesy from Dunedin.

...an amazing book called, "MLM Domain Secrets" by Mike Dillard

Would that be the same eBook downloadable for free from...
http://www.supanovasuperstars.com/image ... ecrets.pdf

Yep! Sure is. Print out the free eBook and call it a "report". Cheeky!

I've removed the live parts from the incomesunlimited.com link above. No
point in Mr Google thinking we're linking to and therefore recommending
them. The domain is registered to a cloaking company from Scottsdale,
Arizona and the site is your typical affiliate job with testimonials from the
usual "Michael & Leslie Hamburger" from Arizona.

It's amazing the passion with which new affiliates promote these scams. I
guess the promise of unending riches drives most of them.

And has anyone noticed that neither Amanda High nor her apologist have
answered the basic questions we put to them about their MLM scam?
