Several users on CareerBuilder.com including myself have been contacted by a yahoo email account (first sign of scam) for editors:
Use the unique opportunity of additional earnings! Our company hires editors and proof-readers for telework. The clients of our company exchange large quantity of important information, therefore our company as an intermediate link in correspondence regards orthography of extreme importance. For this purpose we need people able to check grammatical, syntactic and stylistic peculiarities of the text. This work provides for 3-4 hours of employment daily, at your convenience. It is best suited for those who have the possibility to combine this activity with primary work and for those who do not work for one reason or another (students, pensioners etc.). E.G.in case of daily processing of 6-7 Kb of texts your total fee will make up USD 540-630...
I sent them my name and mailing address and they approve me for the job. They send daily text files for corrections and add money to your account. After one or two files they try to promote you to get you to invest more time.
In the end they will send you a check, or get you to deposit a fradulent money order. If you do this, you can be sent to prison.
