So I sent the required information, taking note of the yahoo contact address--Yahoo.com. Why?  And why did they need home workers for such a supposed large company? Anyway, I proceeded. I also googled the company and could find nothing that denoted it as a scam or anything less than what it claimed to be.....EXCEPT, whn it states it is an Oil Company, it is....Edible Oils, like Olive and Sesame, and food grade! They are actually an importer/exporter or trade company based in China. OK, that part is all true, and theyalso deal in medical supplies. OK, interesting. Anything to make a buck.
