This friend of mine got a response to an inquiry she sent seeking employment from some company with a website http://www.lasexpress.com. They want her to fill out and fax in an agreement they have on the website. It doesn't smell right to either of us. I can't find out anything about them, and from what I can tell they set up an office in your area AFTER hiring you. And they don't do criminal background checks, even though one of their services is supposed to be supplying personal assistant services for people.

Has anybody ever heard of it, or is there anything anyone can tell me about it?

Their website template reminds me of an E-gold forex trading or hyip design, and it does mention gold in one of the columns, and has a calculator like those sort of sites have, looks like a heap of crap to me, Who-Is for the domain:

What is kind of funny is the site is a basic monster templates site, just edited abit, and their 1-877 number is one of a VOIP provider , and all the pictures of their HQ is CGI rendered.

Most contact area's of illegitimate sites have departments listed with emails, and even peoples full names, and even direct numbers. this smells of a scam...

It's a mule/money laundering scam.

I'll db it later tonight when I am logged in over there. Smile
