No, but if you don't already look like the person in the picture you will within weeks.

[edit]Yes it is.

if you're offered a job would you want to pay for the equipment, recruitment and training? No, neither would I.

Don't ever do this, you send the money, get one e-mail and never hear from them again.

My girlfriend was interested in such a 'scam' so she could do some work at home but (luckily) heard from a collegue at her regular work that she did it as well and never got anything after sending money.

If I had to guess I'd say it was multi-level marketing, which is one step above pyramid schemes and is - tragically - legal.

I didn't know pyramid schemes were illegal :/ isn't multi-level marketing just another name for them, thought up by someone so they could call it something else so that the people that realised that pyramid schemes = bad didn't realise they were being duped by the same thing under a different name?

Multi-level marketing schemes are basically pyramid schemes but with the important difference that you are "buying" something when you buy into the system. Usually all you are buying is instructions on how to take part in the system, or some crappy collection of ebooks or whatever. This makes it legal, as then something is actually changing hands, rather than you just paying to be part of the pyramid.

This is why you see loads of things on ebay about "WORK FROM HOME MAKE £13,000 A MONTH! LOL!!!1" and the guy is just selling information on how to make money from home by selling things on ebay, and all he tells you to sell is information about how to make money from home by selling things on ebay.
