employment scam?
i live in a small town with not many job opportunities. a new company is coming in and has been conducting interviews for full time office workers. i went to the interview and it seemed to go well. a couple hours later, they called me back all of a sudden and said that they could offer me a copartner position if i made an investment of $10K in the company. they are prepared to loan me the money up-front and i'd have to pay them back. they said that with my hard work it could be a success but it could fail too, there were no guarantees. something about this reeks of scam to me? what do you think?

job scam
I remember seeing this a few weeks ago, and it followed the same format and I have seen the same scam posted on other sites. It seems that whoever runs this scam moves from one small town to another and then lays low for a week or two before they start it up again.

Pat noone till now gave us a company name to search about.
It is better everyone to state names to be investigated. It may be scam, but also may be a test to canditates if they believe to their abilities that claim have at interviews ......... It is a 50%-50% case for me till I will have something specific to search about ...........

I have applied for a lot of jobs and never once went into a job interview where I applied as an employee and had them ask me to invest in the company. I have responded to companies that were opportunities and spelled out up front that a cash investment would be needed. There are also investor ads and franchise ads that imply investment money up front to start. But $10k to prove you have the skills? Most companies check your resume and background to see if you were actually working in a job that had the necessary skills. I would expect that this was a hit and run. The FBI link might be something useful in a case like this. om

Dear oldman
Welcome to this forum. The point is to tell the things with their names. Otherwise all seem as key-study.
