Non-PayPal Offer and Too High $ Offer?
Posted: Mon Apr 12, 2010 6:31 pm
Dear Fellow Writers,
I came across this public request and found it interesting for two reasons. First of all, they were offering $250 for a 400 word article. (Although they do want you to sign up for 10 articles) Secondly, they want to send you a check vs. paying through PayPal.
If this offer is valid, I'd love to earn $250 but I have a few hesitations because after googling this guy's name and excerpts from his request, I see that he is only charging $20 on other sites. Do you think it's a typo? Also, is it possible to have a 10-article contract on this website? Would this be done through private requests? Lastly, how "safe" is it to trust someone that they will send you a check? Is that allowed here? And, has anyone had problems with that?
Thanks in advance for your input -- you all are always so helpful!

Hi,
We are looking for writer for our parent Auto Insurance Company. We need people who can do good research and then write technically sound articles.
At times you will have to write Core technical articles; hence technical expertise will be preferred but not essential (as long as you can prove yourself).You must be interested and Knowledgeable about Automobiles and Insurance. Plagiarism will not be tolerated and you will be terminated immediately.
The writers would also be required to write short promotional for our various policies.
Due to payment issues at present we can take writers who are based in US since most of our payment will be by check (We will be soon including paypal for payment).
We want many writers since the load is very high.
We need around 80-100 articles initially.
So, Please quote your best price accordingly and kindly also tell us how long you will take to write 10 Articles of 400 words.
If you are ELIGIBLE than kindly directly apply at
