    Don't understand what the job is.

    It's a fraudulent website.

    At best you'll be taking part in a money laundering scam. At worst you will have your bank account emptied out and the details you provide will be used for identity fraud.

    This American website gives a very good description of how the scam works:

    Job Type: Part-Time
    Location: Bracknell, Camberley, Exeter, Guildford, West London, Weybridge, Woking, Reading, Uxbridge, Richmond, Manchester, Liverpool
    Start Date: ASAP
    Duration: Long Term
    Salary: OTE
    Ref No: 206513-MC3C01
    Date Advertised: 18 Aug 2013
    Our client, a world renowned health and nutrition company, is looking for independent self-motivated people to work from home on a part-time or full-time basis. The role is to develop a small number of regular re-ordering customers. The duties are a mixture of marketing, sales and customer service with the focus on customer retention. There is no requirement for cold calling.

    This is a commission only role, but after one to two months provides a consistent income from regular re-ordering customers. It would be ideal to start part-time around another job, family or studies.

    You will also need to have excellent communication skills - capable of talking to people at all levels. This role would suit somebody who enjoys meeting people, who can work without supervision and is keen to succeed.

    We would be very interested in hearing from people with the following languages:
    Afrikaans, Arabic, Belarusian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Cambodian (Khmer), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Filipino (Tagalog), Finnish, French, Greek, Hausa, Hindi, Hungarian, Igbo, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Maltese, Moldavian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Taiwanese, Thai, Turkish, Twi, Urdu, Vietnamese, Yoruba.

    To a large extent your background isn't important, although experience in the Internet and Microsoft products (Word, Outlook, Excel) would be an advantage. The main thing is to have the motivation to work independently, to have a positive attitude, to be willing to learn and the drive to become successful. An interest in wellness or skin care products would be a definite advantage.

    We will provide extensive initial training and ongoing training and support.

    This vacancy is being advertised by Etre Professional Ltd. The services advertised by Etre Professional Ltd are those of an Employment Agency.

    Getting lots of spam after registering with Monster and Jobsite, non-existent jobs, too-good-to-be-true offers of working from home etc etc

    Hardly surprsing tbh.


    I'd never touch these sites.....use the agencies own website only.


    Same goes for that universal jobsearch one that the DWP (Monster) have.

    I don't work for Herballife but they're definitely not a scam, it's a legitimate way of earning an income, in fact network marketing is almost as big as oil is! Don't dismiss the whole industry, there's a lot of good products and companies out there. I'm working from home and loving it - it does work if you're prepared to work it
