      This was on 9Gag for new college grads, but we've seen this come up for our own community members time and time again. So worth posting.

          But you have to pay upfront to get your college application submitted isn't this the same thing? ::sarcasm::

              It appears to be a very common scam in certain parts of the world.

                Yup, when you pay up front for a job it means you are the business' income stream.

                Add in a referral system and you have yourself a full-blown pyramid scheme!

                  It is a very straightforward scam. I'm shocked that people actually not realize that a scam is happening.
