EZ Money, making toy cars, or so I thought

Saw an ad in 'backpage', about assembling toy cars for a nice chunk of the American dream, and it was piece work to boot. Love that kind of work. At first I dreamed of making enough to get by, then realized that I could probable do pretty good, then I thought of hiring other people for part of the pay I would make, become a business man, and a very greedy and blind man at that
So I rushed to pay the fee, so I emailed them
Got back an email that explained that the first fee was an introductory, to get me registered, and set up with shipping fees, and a sample of the work to be done
But I had to fax them a check
So I paid a friend the money, voided out a check, and sent the photocopy and information to them
After 3 days they affirmed they got the fax, with an 'ok'
As the days passed, I made plans in my head, waiting to see how difficult the task would be to do, of course it was one, 300 would get me $450.
I was hoping to start with 600 per week to start, and if it wasn't all that difficult, maybe go to 1200 per week, giving me some pretty easy money, to get into other online programs and be able to reap the profits from those, one or two at a time, and slowly build
Maybe even hire some extras to do the work for part of what I would be making, good for them, enough to look good
But when the final days arrived, my hopes sank, my ideas just melted in my mind, the glitter greened
The package is yet to arrive
I have emailed and faxed them repeatedly, accused them of being scammers, to only get back, 'this is not a scam'. But I have yet to see a box form UPS, DHL, Fedex, or the Post Office. And the trucks just pass right by everyday, never even to hint at stopping
Know anyone really working this work, want to get an address to send the papers to
Was there any hope, or is it a scam, and I;m out

Sadly, thi sounds like yet another scam! Be careful what you get into, NEVER! NEVER! pay anyone else first! I've had a few friends scammed this way, and they never saw a dime back nor did they ever actually get any "work" fromt he company! I would report it to whatever local agencies applied - like the better business bureau and such! And chalk it up to another life lesson learned!
