If a company contacted you and said that they wanted to get wider results with their subscription team and would give you a free subscription to help them with it. Basically what they're saying is that you make the same money as everyone else on the team but without paying their membership fee every month. Would you think that this was a scam, as they aren't asking for your money?

The only thing that they want me to give them is a valid paypal email address. They don't want my bank account details or my name or anything like that. If it is a scam, how can they get money from me? I never leave any in my paypal account.

You have had to ask seriously:
is this a scam?
Therefore that is enough to doubt it.
be on your guard, and if it sounds suspicious, walk away. That will do away with the worry,
Oh, and one more point; Don't worry about possibly loosing out on something. One turned down offer for your concerns can never beat the legit free stuff that I am sure you will encounter.

Any company that contacts you out of the blue without you approaching them previously on money matters is to be held in suspicion. Even known and reputable companies have done this offering such deals, and you find out after you have signed on the line that either there is no return for a long time or they pay themselves a large sum out of the returns made. Don't fall for it.

No, they arent trying to gain anything except there reputation. It sounds as though they are trying to give you a subscription hoping that you will advertise them through word of mouth. Just make sure you dont give any credit card numbers or anything like that.

There's something not quite right with this, and you are wise to be suspicious. You probably won't get paid. That's what I think the scam will be.

If what you are saying is true - then thier policy doesn't make sense at all - so yes I would consider it a scam.
