Juanita, if they are wanting to send money before you do any work, it's a scam. They will send a fake check that looks so real even your bank won't know until 5-7 days after you have deposited it. The scammers will want you to wire them money and then you will find out ii was a fake, but it will be too late. Besides, why would anyone send you, a complete stranger, money up front? I and many other people signed up with companies in the list at the bottom of the page. If you are being contacted by a company you did not apply with, it's most likely a scam.
