Okay I am 98% sure this site/company is a scam where they have an application/testing fee when you apply but My sister doesn't believe me yet. It is called ICAP marketing. I can't find a business licence for them anywhere and now their site is down. They offered my sister a job after she payed the fee and took the test but I am thinking they do this in bunches tell the people they are hired and send them a contract then they say the website is under construction to hold people off and just take off with the application fee. Anyone know what sites I could use to show her/find out if it is a scam ect. Thanks for any help

this is their page, They had it up and running a few days ago but i didn't see it before then.

Given as you type in icap marketing google suggests icap marketing scam as the 3rd option I think you could have figured this one out on your own.

i know but i am trying to get my sister to believe me. The google scam search show that after they payed the money they never talked to them again. They offered my sister a job b4 the website was taking down so she is convinced that it will be different.

Are you leveling? This is like the simplest scam in the book. Click on a few of the google links ffs. They take an application fee and no one has heard from them again. Their site is always down. They advertise in every city in the US. What do you think is going on?

she said that she did get on their website when she applied and it wasn't under construction at the time. I didn't see it though

Due to high interest in this issue, I can only answer your question after you have completed the application and paid a small processing fee. Limited time offer.

Ask your sister if this really sounds like a job.

How it works



Simplicity is the key to any well run business. At ICAP we make simple possible. Simply send in your Predictions and Analysis and we will do the rest.

Once hired in as a Sports Forecaster for ICAP Marketing you will be required to submit a specific amount of predictions on a weekly basis. What We do for you is we sell your predictions and analysis to our affiliate sites. These sites are specifically set up for sports gamers to purchase picks and predictions. Our Job at ICAP is to maintain a healthy relationship with our Affiliate sites by providing them with quality picks. Our Affiliates reward us generously when provided those picks and thus we reward you. We found that it's a lot less time consuming and less leg work for these companies to search the web for these top Analysts and Forecasters. Therefore we screen, test, and maintain all the distribution for these companies. We work hard to promote and advertise your product. So you can see how important it is for us to hire experienced and qualified persons capable of consistently residing among the best.

This program is not for everyone, we look for the best of the best. We know the best Forecasters out there are going to get on losing streaks and that's the nature of the business. Even ICAP's top Forecasters will have their bad streaks, but again we cannot afford to pay for your losses. This is a burn and turn business where results are expected, winners are respected and paid very generously.

Persons interested in becoming Sports Forecasters should be mature, creative, highly motivated, resistant to stress, flexible, and decisive. The ability to communicate persuasively, both orally and in writing. Computer skills are necessary; the ability to work in an Internet environment is vital. Most importantly have a vast knowledge of sports.

If your serious about earning some extra cash and doing something you love then please take the time to fill out ICAP's Application for employment. This is a brief application followed by a short exam. Serious Inquiries Only!

All the more reason we need pictures — she's dumb enough the odds are decent that she's hot.

I personally know a real person who sent a Nigerian Prince $400-$500 to help him gain access to his millions of dollars.

I personally know a real person who bought a $700 set of kitchen knives to help his teen son, who just got a job selling kitchen knives door to door. Then he was disappointed the son quit soon thereafter. I had to explain to him that the son quit because nobody wants to spend $700 on kitchen knives!

"I did! I wanted to help him!"

"If you wanted to help him, you should have just given him $700."

BTW, I'm certain the son had to pay $$$ to get that lousy job, because I fell for the same scam when I was a teen (if you change knives to pots and pans).

That doesn't seem like something that would happen to someone that was smartest kid in any class ever.

I think your sister should pay the fee again, that would show them she really means business and is a top prospect for their organization.
