Does This Sound Dodgy or Am I Completely Paranoid, again?

I do administration work, from home and have my CV scattered across various employment sites. Usually this is fine and I get quite a few calls for Agency work etc.

Last week however I worked all week for a Company I seen on JobCentrePlus and heard NOTHING, allwork, no pay!

Today I received an email from a Company saying they are a recruitment company and have quite a bit of work doing BORING data-entry, bla bla bla.

The thing is they say they pay you via PayPal, and I visited their website and it has a typo error.

Does this sound dodgy or am I completely paranoid?

TIA

'haling' themselves to the office?

it's not much of a website is it? I would steer clear for now-they don't seem to be properly up and running yet

I think I will call the JobCentrePlus.

I will stay well clear, I could probably build a better website myself!

I wish these people would leave me alone. I get all excited and then voosh ....deflation.
