If I was Clark Howard right now I would be blowing the whistle and
asking you if you paid this organization.  I would be telling you to
just forget about even thinking again about this.  Trust me when I say
that this is a scam to milk people of money because of the Linux hype.

If people do not know who Clark Howard is, he is a consumer advocate on
the radio who gets lots of calls about scams.  If you have to pay for a
job then it's not a job.
