Has anyone else had any dealings with this group?
I answered an ad of theirs in Craigslist. They were looking for editors to edit college dissertations. They sent me a sample 78-page dissertation to edit, without pay. I spent quite a bit of time and effort on it and sent it back by the deadline. A week later I got an e-mail from them saying that they "decided not to move ahead with your candidacy." No reason given.
I also had to fax a bunch of stuff to them, which cost, so I not only didn't get paid, but I'm out money.
I Googled them, and they apparently don't have a really great rep. Yesterday, I saw another Craigslist ad from them, same one.
Comments -- Is it just sour grapes here, or are my suspicions warranted?
