SCAM type – This site/person is fishing for free content. They expect 3 full length articles before payment will be issued, and claims that if even a single person in their supposedly 20+ person team (which are not in contact with each other) turns in work late, no one can be paid that week and everyone needs to wait a week or more for pay.
