Default Offered a job, sounds skeptical... please read, need advice... LONG!

a girl offered me a job that i couldnt resist. she said "how would you like to make money, but not work, you are your own boss, you can come in whenever you would like?"

i said "that would be awesome, but lets be serious, what kind of job gives you that much freedom?"

she said "what's your dream car?"

I said "well a ferrari (laughed)"

she responded and said "i can garuntee you a ferrari in 2 years, and you wont even have to work your ass off"

i responded "holy sh*t, but how can i make all that money, when i dont even have to work that often"

she told me a story: "This company is only 5 years old, and this girl just started, attending a community college, but was very good in business. She went in for an interview and the guy asked her what car she drives. she said she drove her mom's beat up civic. he said, lets go for a drive. He takes her to a mercedes-benz dealership and said "which one you want?" she said "wow, i cant even afford any of these, lets go back" he said "wanna drive one? " she said "no way, i have no money to afford one" So they test drive an SL600 and she really liked it, but didnt have the money. She was hired, and 2 years later in the company, she bought the SL600... how old is she now? 21 and making over 19k a month!"

she told me another story of a guy who worked with the company for atleast 2 years, and he was making about 17k a month.... so he was quite wealthy at the time, so he took his daughter to Australia..... for a month..... he came back.... with a pay check sitting on his desk for 18k for the month he didnt work!!!!!

This job seems amazing, but she said its too complicated to discuss via email and phone. but she said it involves numbers, people skills, and figures. hmmm should i take this job? afterall she said i am garunteed a ferrari in 2 years! HELP PLEASE! This company is online 5 years old, and already 5 people in the company are millionaires.... working since this company started up. i want to be that millionaire.... should i take it? she wants to open up an office in NYC... so it would be perfect for me, not to mention she is a hottie! lol!

Um, she didn't mention what the job was nor, apparently, the company's name. That's quite the fishy mlm-sounding thing.
