My mother has just sent me this link and asked my opinion.

http://newsdaily7.com/onlinejob.php?t202id=1152

The article and comments all make it look very legit but the actual website: http://myincomeconnection.com/jarincomeuk/?publish... Looks like a typical 'work from home' scam.

I don't understand this 'get paid loads of money for posting links on the interent' what is it all about?

I approach anything like this thinking if its too good to be true, it probably is. So I am going to say its a scam.

Ok, so it is a scam, but what are they suggesting that you will get paid for?

is it spamming forums and such like with links for companies, or what?

You're paid to spam the st out of the likes of PH via an affiliate scheme, no doubt. You'll get 1p per click or sale so your mum had better belong to a hell of a lot of forums that she's about to get banned from.

Try this instead.

I just clicked on your link, and my work net filter blocked it as "suspicious"..........

I think that means it might be a scam!
