According to the BBB (that's Bettr Business Bureau) warns against taking jobs that ask you to front some large sum of money first.
http://www.bbb.org/Have you tried running this company through their website just to make sure?

I'd check it out with the BBB as you're running for the hills.
Yup I did that after the first meeting. Like I said earlier it all comes back perfectly legitimate. I can't find anything wrong with this business except that it asks for money I don't have right now.
But in any case, I'm going with my gut on this one. I already called and cancelled the rest of the meetings and such. She was angry that I wasted her time, but my thought was "you called me, remember?"
