OK, I guess you could say that I’ve had it. Somehow, the work-at-home scammers have obtained one of my e-mail addresses and I am starting to receive these work-at-home scam e-mails.
I’m going to show you the one I got today. I am not going to change the name of the individual who sent it. It’s [...]
