Comments on: Another Job Scam http://www.brainhandles.com/2008/07/02/another-job-scam/ Whatever's tugging at my brain handles Sat, 22 Nov 2008 09:54:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Regina http://www.brainhandles.com/2008/07/02/another-job-scam/#comment-6883 Regina Wed, 02 Jul 2008 19:20:27 +0000 http://www.brainhandles.com/?p=341#comment-6883 I attract scammers like mosquitos!!! I have received several scams, via the e-mail and through the mail! One through the mail said I won a prize through Publisher's Clearinghouse. However, the envelope was from Canada and the letter's address was from Arizona and the check was on a bank from Florida.... pretty easy to realize it was a scam. The others have been through e-mail and not as easy to recognize, especially since I have ads for jobs on Craigslists and others. Here is such an example of a scam I received by e-mail: Need a second job? Are you interested in working from Home ? Do you need Money A.S.A.P..... Do you need money for Gas, Grocceries, Bills, Rent, Mortgage etc A.S.A.P. ????? Are you looking for a part-time, spare-time or full-time income? See how you can add up to $1200 a month to what you are already making...in just 5-6 hours a week! JOB DISCRIPTION We are looking for a male/female our accounting team from his/her home for Processing of Accounts Payable, Check Printing and mailing,Direct Deposit from your home.
