There are certain ads that run in the paper continuously. The type (the lettering) used to "get your attention" is a big reveal. All caps sets off whistles for me. The wording is give-away. If you have to question who would pay this much for a "will train" or "no experience necessary" person...your answer is NO ONE. If the company name isn't represented, I hear bells going off. When it says "up to x amount of dollars" you can rest assured you won't start out at that and that only the CEO himself makes that kinda top dollar. The section that the ad is placed in tells a lot too. If it's not under "Sales" for a sales job, but just in the "General" or "Miscellaneous" section[s]...with no company name or direct phone # or contact name...and you've seen it before (maybe worded a bit different, but the same connotation none-the-less)...I'd assume it's a "too good to be true" ad and further investigation isn't warranted.

That's my take on it!

Good luck no matter what you choose to do hun!
