Is Project Esource real?

I'm just wondering whether anyone here has ever used the Project Esource website and whether it's legit or just some very convoluted scam?

http://www.projectesource.com/view_project.php?sb_id=15574

Looking at it, there seem to be some very dubious projects, such as creating 3000 MySpace accounts or 10,000 Gmail accounts (can there possibly be a good reason for this, or is it just used for spamming? Is it illegal or just against terms & conditions?), and also some pretty odd bids, such as Kym8701 who seems to bid for a lot of projects and seems to be offering to do everything for $2.50.

On the other hand, some of it looks plausible.

So I just wanted to know if anyone's had any success or otherwise with the website, or whether it should be avoided at all costs...

Thank you!

    I would never do any of the really obviously shady stuff like the fake Gmail accounts (shady is only worthwhile if it pays well!), but does anyone know whether any of the other data entry / proofreading / article writing stuff is genuine?
    Thanks!

    I would be interested to hear if anyone has actually done any of the proofing or article writing stuff on here too.
