1. Sounds like a scam. Advertising is one of the WORST jobs to have right now, so they're probably preying on the job market.
2. I would run like hell. Does it really make any sense to pay anybody a hundred dollars for just placing an ad? What is in the ad? Are they selling body parts or what? Germany is not bound or governed by any US laws. They could easily place those ads themselves, but there's a reason that they want YOUR name on it and not theirs. That has got scam written all over it.
3. let me tell the best way to know if something is a scam. if they ask you for any money especially in another country........ yes my friend is scam.any money ahead before you get any if you get into a buissness is to make money not to give away and it is add but they know the people that needs money it easier to rip off. just remember DO NOT SEND MONEY UNLESS THEY MAKE YOU MONEY. and if you send it has to be less than what they gave you. but I am sure that is a scam but if you are not convinced try at out but: SEND NO MONEY good luck.
4. Scam!!---And I doubt they're really in Germany ....probably just using a German domain
