Are ya'll ready for this one?
For the last couple of weeks I have been pondering the "work from home" jobs. Yeah...reality is, that 99% of them are scams. I know this, my gut tells me this, but my head isn't listening.
I'm not looking to get rich, ...just give me a minumum wage paycheck once a week...to get to have some fun on. Is that too much to ask for?
Well...let me introduce you to the newest scam to me. (drum roll please)
As ashamed as I am to admit it, I fell for it, hook, line and sinker. (I thought I was smarter than this, obviously not!)

This home-based position is a great opportunity for stay at home moms,
dads, or anyone who wants to work in the comfort of their own home.
There are no calling strangers or taking surveys or anything like that.
Ok, I emailed her...talked with her...told her that 99% of homebased work was scams. She reassured me that it wasn't. So..I submitted my little 15.00 payment, (it was cheap) to recieve my "Training manual"..and guess what I got?
REALLY WANT TO KNOW?
The same freakin' thing I posted up there, except this had a little more information on it.
Basically what I would be doing is placing free ads in local newspapers advertising "Clerical Positions NEEDED", once they apply, I then send them an email with a little more information. They send me the 15.00 bucks and BOOM, I send them the same freakin' manual that she sent me, the only thing I have to do is replace her email addie with mine.
Can we SAY.........FRAUD? Can we say...DUMBASS? LOL
I sent little
MISS Money Bags an email back asking her if she knew what the FTC Was? LOL Along with their headlines today. And give her till this evening to send me my stinkin' 15.00 bucks back!
~~It never ceases to amaze me at the depths I will stoop to, thus trying to avoid the reality of the situation~~ In order for me to make money.... I will have to do things the old fashion way. Get up off my ass and go find a real JOB!
