Title: Online Ambassadors
Location: Work from home. Anywhere in North America.
Schedule: Schedule: Flexible. 15-20 hours/week.
Pay: $1100 for 6 weeks.
Are you a sociable person who loves to meet new people online? Do you have a home computer? If you answered yes to these questions, you can earn nearly $200/week working just a few hours each day on your own time.
Mate1.com needs Online Ambassadors from all North American locations. If you are over 18 years of age, outgoing, courteous and can type reasonably quickly, you can do this work in no more than 15-20 hours per week, at home.
Your mission would be to communicate with our members by internal Mate1 email with a view to familiarizing them with the web site and making them feel a part of the greater Mate1 community. Your work would consist solely of replying to emails from Mate 1 members. The ideal candidate will have some experience with or interest in online dating.
Thanks Markus!

I wonder if these ambassadors are supposed to pretend they are members and generate emails to get people to sign up?
Why would they field a remote customer support force? How the heck would you have any quality control over the answers, etc.
What the world needs - another online dating site with forced registration.

Now what they didnt tell me was that They would send out an email addressed from me to ALL of the males and lesbian females on the site telling them that I liked their profile, That I wanted to correspond with them and to get back with me by of coarse sendind me an email.
LOL… Do you know how many e-mails I got in one day? about 500 Men who were 65 years old were flattered that I, (really Mate 1) had sent them a letter and that I, (really mate 1) wanted to correspond with them. Ya see men have to pay high prices to mate 1 to be a Member.
Mate one gives them a trial and then ropes them in with the, “Online Ambassador girls” The guys think, WOW Im gonna meet this girl, This girl is interested in me and I cant lose contact with her so Id better get a membership.
The online ambassador girls are thinking wow all I have to do is answer emails from guys who are genuinly interested in me and I get paid for it! WRONG!!!
These people are not only scamming guys who are lonely but women too who are trying to make money from home. There is no way that someone can get to all those emails in 48 hours or less NOT unless you live on the computer and Even then I dont think that you can do it. Even if you copy and pasted a generic letter to all 500 in a day you couldnt do it. Why???
Because while you are on the site people can see when you are there and they can instant message you. So you get BOMBARDED with instant mesages, You get BOMBARDED with mail and then the site gets real slow and your computer freezes on the site. so how are you suppose to get to the email??? You have to keep logging off and logging back in which takes even more time. Its a scam guys.
None of these girls want to talk to you. They didnt send you the email. Mate 1 sent it on their (Online Ambassadors) behalf and without them even realizing it. I dont think they even plan to pay people a hundred a week. They just let them anwser as much email as possilbe, let them give up and move on to the next sucker. That way the site is always in supply of fresh pretty faces sending out massive emails to lonely men who think they just got real lucky!
Wow what a bunch of shi!

1. We do not recommend that you mention your Online Ambassador status unless you are asked. However, you must answer honestly if asked.
If someone asks any of the following questions:
Q: Do you work for Mate1?
Q: What does “OA” stand for?
Q: What is an Online Ambassador?
Answer something like this:
I was a member of Mate 1 and they chose me to be an online ambassador (that’s what that OA logo on my profile means). I spend a couple of hours online every day emailing other members and making them feel welcome.
So what do they mean? Answer honestly that you are an Online Ambassador, but lie how you became one? Mislead people unless they ask? Great follow up by Anna Alden-Tirrill.
