Don't bother. If it is genuine, why people are not doing it in this crunch time then.

It is probably a "work from home scam"

http://www.consumerdirect.gov.uk/watch_ ... k-at-home/
Work-at-home scams are often advertised in local newspapers, magazines, shop windows, lamp posts or online. They promise a large income for minimal work - such as envelope-stuffing or craft assembly – with no risk and the advantage of working from home when it's convenient for you.

What they don’t tell you is that you might have to pay up front for supplies or equipment to do the job, or cover hidden costs to play newspaper ads, make photocopies or buy software.

Once you put in your own time and money, your promoters may refuse to pay you, claiming that your work isn't up to their 'quality standards'.

Or you may find that there is no work on offer, only commission for getting other people to sign up.
http://www.nidirect.gov.uk/index/employ ... e-work.htm
Real jobs don't come with an up front fee, so never send money in advance to people or companies who claim they can give you work at home. A common scam involves adverts about addressing and stuffing envelopes but asks for a registration fee. If you pay the fee, you get advice to place adverts like the one you saw, but no actual work.
I hope that the above is enough to convince you.

Regards

PP
