The Old Increase Traffic to my Site Switch-R-OO!

I can't prove this is a scam, but if it's not, all of us are missing out on the best paying writing opportunity of the year!

"Seeking Writers and Photographers We are a new startup web site specializing in news articles about scandals in the US. We are looking for writers and photographers for original articles, opinion pieces and photographs.
Compensation: $30K"

It then gives you a website that leads you to a list of said "scandals," and a bunch of google ads, but no further explanation about who these people are or their writer's guidelines. I suspect this is an ad to get traffic to their site.
