For example, I applied for a gig (either this list or Craig's) to a Mark Julius at exciting promotions.I received an email from him promising me work for one month on a trial basis and continuing work if he was satisfied with my production. But I had to download EFAX first. This is $16.95 per month. The first month is a free trial and according to him, they would not bill me. If we were compatible, I would then pay the monthly sub fee but I would have more than enough work to cover it. I downloaded the program. I haven't heard from him. They charged my credit card. Now their site does say "Free Trial" so I think I can get my money back but it will take time. If I had emailed him and requested a contract prior to downloading, I would have saved the time as he would have never replied and I would have known it was a scam. Renee Simao Hi
