I googled the company, and came up with several thousands of hits from job boards looking for reps in every city... nothing on the company itself. Looking up the address, it's a house in LA. I know and have no issue with home based business, but a payroll company... And checking with Intuit, they had nothing...

It just seems that at a time of high unemployment, these scams become more and more enticing to those that would not realize a company does not send payroll through your private account, and sets up people that are desperate for even greater disappointment. Thanks for letting me vent...
