Should i take my coworker up on his job offer? (lemmy.ml)

My coworker recently told me he moonlights doing an online job while working our normal job. I asked him what he does and he said that it's hard to explain but there's a powerpoint that explains when i get hired. He said it's all legal and we get paid $10 an hour and pay goes out every week. He showed me he's made an extra $250 this week on an excel spreadsheet. I think it sounds like a great opportunity/s

Anyway what flavor of scam do you think this guy is part of? I'm thinking mlm because he's trying to bring others into the fold, but I heard him tell someone else theres a fee to join, and that screams pyramid scheme.

Depends on whether or not you're okay with an MLM gig

I had a similar experience and it turned out a be a MLM scheme, If you're not going to be given any details on the job before you take the job then I definitely wouldn't take it.

You’re joking right? You’re smarter than this.

Whyy don't you try and explain what it is?

Some negative people in here but I've hired several of my former colleagues to work nights and weekends for me. I pay much better than their current roles .
