Gigs! Sunday Night Jan 31st

Okay so heres a fun one...I'm applying for this job half to support my friend applying also half because I decided even though it is a commute if they agree to hire me on as manager/team leader that is one more peg up the ladder to add on my resume. So that determines my resolution tenfold, I am applying now.

The Job is for Attack Marketing, a quiznos promotion. Btw my partner and I are applying for Racine so please do the courtesy of selecting one of the other cities if anyone reading follows through. It is in southern Wisconsin, as I live in green bay the commute is a little more than acceptable.

Job to watch out for!
There are many lists of signs for scams, here I'll set you one blog's article. See this example though of which I saw on craigslist in Mobile, Alabama. In response to an add asking for "expressive actress"  and then described a role as a background extra in some sort of shoot, paying up to $250. I received a response though suggesting I get a free trial of a tanning product and... .... ....? Here is the email in quotes and the website of the product.




Hi Eric,
Thank you for applying to our ad.  We are seeking background extras and beginner actors/actresses.  Here is our immediate need.  You do not need a casting agent nor do you need to be a member of any actors guild. This is a perfect way to get your resume started.


We are seeking testimonial shoots for a brand new product called Joliese Tan.  It's all about looking amazing with a beautiful sunless tan and having a healthy alternative to the damaging rays of the sun.
Participation requirements for the shoot:

1) Men or women at least 18 years old.

2) Must not be allergic to aloe vera.
3) Clear speaking voice with good enunciation.

4) Must be using Joliese Tan for 5 days (see below).
The Joliese Tan product is available people who received this letter for the purpose of testing prior to the shoot day. Please use the product. It is against the law for us to ask for an endorsement unless you have actually used the product.
The link for acquiring the product is here: Joliese Sunless Tan
This web site is for a free trial. We are using an independent company to handle this service. You may be required to pay a small shipping charge.**
Please email back when you have started your testing of the product so we can line you up for the testimonial shoot. Start using the product AS SOON AS YOU RECEIVE IT. We have a deadline and you will miss your opportunity to be included if you delay. Shoots are being scheduled in every major city in the continental US.

Payment is $1,100.00 to complete the project. 
**Use coupon code "darker" to reduce shipping to only $1.50 (enter code on the left side of the page)
Thanks and Good Luck!

This seems suspicious, so I will not reply.
