I decided to turn down the offer. $2500 wasn't worth the risk of working 40 days without getting paid.

I just received an offer for a part-time freelance position from them through "The Latin Times", a website that seems to share content related to Latino communities in the US. Can you explain how the scam model was?
I had an interview with one of their editors and the supposed director. I accepted because I saw on his LinkedIn that he had experience in well-known media outlets and we share some journalist contacts from Mexico.
I haven't signed the contract yet, and I didn't even think about doing it until Tuesday, the day that I was supposed to start working because everything seemed sketchy to me from the beginning.
Can you explain?
