I think all I remeber of my wasting money for some work was two dollars.It was about 3 years ago and I find the offern in some newspaper.It was for some stuffing envelopes or something like that and I never here from them again after I send them money.What about you?How much it was?Whas it for offline or online work?

Pal! I have lost over $150.00 on scammers, the first money I lost was on ebay! I saw an item and I order this item and I don't have any money in my paypal account to pay for this item so I have to get this guy a bank draft check and I did't get the item, the other times was through an e-gold merchant base in Lisbon Portugal, I want them to transfer money to my account I lost half of the money. I am glad today because all this expeirences makes me somebody today, I can't be fool again by all this scammers.

Frankly so far not yet for me, Laurika. Because I always refer to my referrer for offline or online money making activity. Hopefully it will remain this way forever because I hate scam activity even though sometimes the offer came from my best friend. Normally my friends got excited to the rumors charming good news and too good to believe. I think enough to stay as a part time online staff to my cousin's online business beside my permanent job. Thanks, Laurika.
