It's at least misleading and likely a scam. Notice the phrase "up to"-- that means $200 per day is an unlikely, best-case scenario, meaning you could also make FAR less. The numbers also don't add up; if you work 5 days a week for $200, that would only be $1000 per week, not $2000,which makes me extra skeptical unless the $1000 is base pay and the $2000 includes possible (but highly unlikely) commission.
Check out the company on the Better Business Bureau website and also Google "Is [name of company] a scam? If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is, and if the ad doesn't mention the name of the company, red flags are flying everywhere. Be very careful of your personal information and never pay for a potential "opportunity."
Also, I have known many people who have sold plastic ware and makeup to kind friends who really didn't want overpriced, mediocre items, but wanted to be nice/not hurt the other person's feelings. Those sales aren't sustainable, it makes friends avoid you, and it's extremely rare that someone is actually able to make a living that way; if I need some containers or some makeup, I can just swing by Target and buy what I want, no hassle and no pressure to buy more.
If you need a job, be sure to let friends and former co-workers know what you're looking for and network to the best of your ability.
