Sounds like the usual scam to me. These are the ones who put up all those "make money at home" "put your computer to work" and "work at home" signs that may litter your area. This company is a complex like scam which distributes some idiotic cosmetics, type stuff, sort of a dietary suplement which doesn't really do anything. They start you as a distributor: you have to initially buy a bunch of their products (via another distributor dork) and try and sell them. they also charge you various fees like for setting up ads and a site. They also then encourage you to buy some for yourself so you can experience it and be better at selling it. you'll soon find that noone will buy it (check ebay for herbalife .... hehe) and you'll note that the only way you can make money on it is signing up distributors (they give you a bonus for that) People try to do this by posting those stupid ads, spamming job sites, posting ads in appers, etc. This is the actual way this scheme makes people money, that and selling starter packs to new recruits....they have some levels you can advance based on how much junk you buy from them. It's all the usual. Someone will fall for it and try and sell the junk, noone buys it. They try to sell it to their friends, they lose their friends. They try and recruit people with ads like this one to try and recover those inital costs. After a while they give up and quit the scam, but there are always more idiots to replace them. There's a great article linked from slashdot that goes into huge detail on this scam -- basically it started with a guy who wanted to find out what all those mysterious "work from home" signs in his area were about. Ahhhhh, what a wonderful world this is.... :P
