I decided to reply to the work-at-home scammer I talked about yesterday and tell her what I thought of her little scheme. I basically told her that no legitimate work-at-home job opening requires the applicant to pay, and that I wondered how she was able to sleep at night, knowing that she is taking advantage of people who are looking for work.
She replied a short time later. You can see her reply here.
Needless to say, I felt compelled to respond to her. The fact that she had the nerve to take the ‘excuse me’ approach with me for questioning her scam left me virtually no choice!
I responded and told her that she could call her scam anything she wanted, but it was still a scam. I also challenged her to tell me exactly what it was someone would get for her ‘one time fee’ of $9.95. I wanted to give her a chance to educate me about this ‘opportunity.’
I also told her that I could no longer locate her ad on the craigslist.com site, and that was probably due to the fact that too many people reported her advertisement as the scam that is obviously is. I asked her to let me know if I was mistaken, and let me know where on the site her ad currently resides, if it has not been removed.
Although she is no doubt just another scammer out to victimize people searching for work-at-home jobs, there is one thing she said that I actually believe. Towards the end of her message to me she says, ‘It might not be a real 9-5 job in an office but for me
it is a real 9-5 job at home.
I don’t doubt that at all, but unfortunately, her ‘job’ consists of scamming people out of their hard-earned money.
I have not yet heard back from her in response to my last e-mail message, and I would be surprised if I did. She’s obviously too busy regsistering new Yahoo! e-mail addresses and writing new versions of her scam ads to post on job-seeker sites to waste time arguing with someone who is obviously wise to her scam.
