"Get A Part Time Job With Facebook - 101", facebookjobsonline

The ads seemed to suggest that Facebook, Inc. is hiring part-timers to work at home to earn money.
-
"Facebook has now released a "Work From Home Program" that will allow people to work from the comfort of their own homes." - facebookjobsonline.com.
-
When I clicked on "Work from home program" I was directed to this site (screenshot).
Facebookjobonline "Work from Home Program" that did not describe what is the job assignment and how it works. This page only wanted me to key in my particular.
 Once I keyed in my particulars (bogus ones), another page appeared with "Congratulation". There was a timer counting down from 4 min (my back is tingling because anything that is bad always push people to decide under pressure).
-
Close examination of the site allowed me to conclude that the site is selling a unwanted product to people. 
 -
In the above case, the temptation is for earning big. Where will the money be coming from? I think the fund is generated from the initial cost of joining. Imaging that 100,000 people joined (paying USD 5 multiplied by 100,000 equals USD 500k). Those who joined earlier will get more, and those who joined later wants to get what the earlier ones are getting. More testimony and proof from the earlier members and more temptation for others to join and hence, more subscription. As the number grows, more fund to distribute to the earlier and subsequent ones, whereas the latest members get to wait for a while for more new members to join. More testimonies with printed checks serve to tempt more people to join. I'm not sure if this is a pyramid scam or not, but it is to me.

To get started, members have to pay to get "kit" (I didn't proceed because I wouldn't want to lose money). All the while, the website did not explaining how the part-time job works (i.e. sales or service). It seemed to have something to do with "automated money making website" (alert siren sounding).

Great discount, instead of paying SGD 750, I only needed to pay SGD 5 for the "kit" (I didn't go ahead with the payment).


As always, the early birds will get a bigger pie, whereas the later ones will lose their money. The owner of course would be the one getting the most of the "pooled money". Also, the early birds will be the gullible ones who will get their faces posted with a smile showing how much they have earned (free publicity to the master mind), and hence bring in more subscribers.
-
Once the "pooled money" gets depleted due to (1) lack of new members (or the hype died down), or (2) increasing "overhead" to sustain the pyramid members, the whole "organization" will collapse. All these members will disperse quietly (especially since some just lost SGD 5.00). Those who lost more due to "upgrades", they can't really do anything about it because there is no information about the company. Facebook, Inc. is not part of all this!
-
Always, the earlier ones who got into scams will be the "winners", while the master minds are the winner of winners.
