I have seen few ads over the period where an investment of 10 to 15 k is required and promises a fabulous monthly income for just delivering some goods or doing some public relations work.

Please be aware that if the ad is too good to be true then it is a scam. I came to know that many desis especially with some money fall for this scheme as we think we will earn lifelong confortable income.

Few years ago there was a scheme called Tumble chef. The ad offered account Representative position for $15k investment and promised good income of $ 36 k to 70K as independant distributor depending on nu,ber of customers you service. Please google "Tumble chef" and you will get all the details of this fraud. My understanding is that Tumble chef scheme was offered to many people and the fraudster collected few millions of dollars.

So desis be aware and donot loose your hard-earned cash.
