I could just be in a strange mood, but the layout of the website alone makes me not altogether trust it. But as I said, I could just be in a strange mood tonight.

Seems more fake than real, however, Even if it's for real. when the payoff time finally arrive. you wouldn't get a single cent because they say you are not US citizen or don't have US address blah blah blah..

It looks like one of those "Make Money While Reading Your Email" scams. I'd avoid it if I were you.

Anyway, as Kakero said, you're not a US citizen, so I doubt you'd be legible for it anyway.

What Firestormalpha said is also true, the budget layout of the site makes it look very dodgy indeed!

Never trust those... they are bad news... and too good to be true.

My friend signed up to one where you downloaded a small program that you were supposed to have open and get paid to view ads... well that was not the only thing it did, it also sent about 500 email to email addresses... EVERY 10 MINUTES!!!

There is no such thing as a free lunch... and if someone says they are going to pay you for having lunch with them... they probably want you to cook it and clean up afterwards...
