Scam, definitely. Check out their website -- they never once actually SAY they've placed any product with any of those stores. Suggestion: Call up the home office for someone on the list (say, Sears). Tell the operator that you've been approached by someone who claims to be a vendor doing business with them, and you'd like to speak to someone in Purchasing to verify this. I guarantee that Purchasing will tell you, "We've never heard of those guys."

I'll bet they also want either lots of money or lots of product up front... and you'll never see any of it again.

Remember the old aphorism: If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

I've had this one...some time ago. They said they liked my work and mentioned places like BJ's and Target. Since when do those places sell rosaries and chaplets?

A scam...

Yes - big scam.

The website looks interesting, but a couple of things concern me; one is that you have to pay a large sum of money up front in order to "see inside". The other is that the site is unfinished... did you notice that the list of small business types doesn't have numbers beside it, and that it peters out into a jumble of code? Very unprofessional. This makes me think that while it may not be a scam, it IS a startup, and therefore risky. Don't give them any money. You might consider counteroffering; saying "I'll gve you x percent of sales gleaned through your site, up to $340, but I won't give you money up front".

Frankly, I'm surprised they don't do it that way to begin with. I would be much more inclined to think they were legit if they did.
