Work At Home Scam Spam

27 July, 2008 (22:29) | Scams, Spam

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 probably not his real name anyway and the e-mail address is probably fake as well. Anyway, here is the e-mail I got from this particular scam artist:

Hi,

How would you like to earn a few extra hundred dollars per day
entering data for online businesses? Wouldn’t it be nice to sit at
home submitting information for companies and quit your dead end day
job?

Numerous companies are looking for workers to submit information into
online forms and they will pay you nicely in return. You can get paid
up to 50USD per transaction. This is not a getrichquick scheme but a
legitimate way to earn extra money from home.

How can I tell this is a scam? Well, just visit the link that was placed in the e-mail message three times to see. Like all work-at-home scammers, they are trying to sell you a membership to some useless work-at-home site or system or whatever it is. It’s usually just a bunch of information or lists of companies they hire people to work at home but most of them are out-of-date or for companies that don’t exist any longer.

This looks like all the other work-at-home scam pitches, with the screen shots of the supposed earnings and of course a fantastic discount price of $49.99 (normally $139.95).

Well, the real value of this crap he’s selling is roughly equivalent to what normally comes out of the rear end of a bull.

Here’s the one thing you never want to forget about any work-at-home offer or any kind of job offer! If they are trying to sell you something or are asking you for money for any reason, it IS NOT a legitimate opportunity.

I wish these scam artists like "Mario Ramas" would go find themselves and honest way to make a living. I’m really getting sick of seeing this crap in my e-mail.

Welcome back!
