Do not send money to P.O. Boxes

Hello: Players I have noticed a recent increase in basketball scams this year and most of the scams ask you to send money to P.O. Boxes. There are some legitimate companies that use P.O. boxes as locations for payment, but the company can be verified by business records in that state or through the Better Business Bureau. Most scams are not registered with the state or the Bureau and rely on your lack of knowledge to take advantage of you. If you cannot verify any event or business as legitimate then do not send money to them period. Most scams also use fancy website and web portals to disquise their scams and pass them off as legitimate offers, do not fall for these tricks. The newest scams are people using legitimate companies as bait, but the method of payment has a different location than the actual legitimate company. We all know that people also pose as others to run scams. Finally scam artist use others to do their dirty work like persuade people to get P.O. boxes in their names instead of the person conducting the scam. Thay ask you to do this because whwn they get caught you will be the person going to jail instead of them, unless you can prove that the other party masterminded the whole thing. Players and unaware participants in a scam be aware of the warning signs and do not sacrifice your identity to take part in a scam. Real legitimate companies have Business Licenses, Payroll, and Tax Id numbers that can be tracked by the I.R.S. If you are taking part in something that does not have any of those elements then it is a scam and you may be liable for criminal damages. I personally apologize to Sylita for the back and forth disputes, but my reputation is all I have as a person and no-one is going make false allegations about me and not be addressed.

Yes, Adam I agree with the P.O. Box and Western Union is another sign of a scammer, plus direct wire. Why? Because there is no way to receive or complain for a refund.. Once its gone, its gone forever.

This is a 100% legitimate company that is supported by Winning Ways Pro international. This website was supported by them before it was launched about 3 months ago. So far as per conversation with Matt Resnick Vice president of Winning Ways, players are getting contracts from posting their resumes and videos on this website. So far I believe eight past participants from the Winning Ways Pro combines have gotten jobs thus far. It never hurts to have another avenue for getting a job to play. Good luck to you and I hope that you get the job that you are looking for.
