Usually, I do not trust the advertisements anywhere on the internet, and I have seen websites similar to this, but this one got me a bit curious, as of now I am unemployed and I am looking for a new job, and I am just curious if this is legit because I don't want to be another fool who has been tricked.

Re: Wantedgametesters.com - Is it legit
it doesnt look very legit to me personally... i could be wrong but
1. very generic sounding "testimonials"
2. the website is asking to see if you qualify, which im guessing that everybody tends to qualify.
also it seems like the website is some kind of training course so you can become a game tester...
thats just my 2 cents, i dunno what everybody else thinks
edit- i looked at tos real quick and heres something you might wanna see
2. BILLING

I suggest that you read the Terms of Service (TOS) agreement on the website and make the conclusion yourself.
Re: Wantedgametesters.com - Is it legit
from searching the domain name on whois i can tell you that they have only had a domain since August 2010.

right... so it looks like your new job is to pay them $40/mo to play games.
Re: Wantedgametesters.com - Is it legit
It doesn't look like a legitimate employment opportunity at all so I recommend you stay away as you're much more likely to lose money than you are to make any as far as I can tell.
Re: Wantedgametesters.com - Is it legit
Not mention Game Testing is boring and menial. Trying to break a game is the most stupid and boring ways thinkable? Fun.
