I'm disabled with Multiple Sclerosis so I'm home alot. Since I'm on a very fixed income I thought I'd use my computer to see what was available as far as working online. So many emails I received were: Starting businesses with high start up costs. Of course that was out. Emails with incomplete facts about jobs.I'd get a phone call from one of these offers only to find out it was to start a bussiness. I hate these adds and callbacks. I end up telling the person that I'm not looking to start a business but to work and have an income. I've told these people that it's disingenuous to write misleading ads. It's a waste of my time and theirs. Then I've received emails to be a MYstery Shopper. That sounded interesting and something I'd like to do. The pay wasn't bad.I filled out a few applications for a few of the Mystery Shopper sites. They were all scams. They hired me. One of the sites I would be going to is Western Union.Can anyone guess why? I would receive a check in the mail to cash take out my fee,then off to W. Union or Money gram to send money where directed as I evaluated the service. When I filled out the Mystery Shopper apps. I included in my email that I would be verifying any check, money order,etc, before I cashed it, or deposited in my account or tried to cash it at my bank. I made it clear I was not doing anything illegal. So I received checks. When I verified them, they were all fakes.Even after telling these companies what I would do, they still sent these bad checks. I was getting emails from people who didn't have long to live and wanted to name me beneficiary and their lawyer would email me. This was all about sending them hundreds of dollars first for various fees first.I could go on and on. I'm sure there are many who can relate. I couldn't get my mind around how the internetbrings out the worst of the worst in the job market. I've lost money as well trusting some job sites. I've received so many scams that I've saved I wish I could write some type of book with the sites, email address, my experiences, so people might be prewvented from this type of inhumanity. I'm not sure how to do that.Any suggestions? Their is one silver lining! I did find an online job;NO SCAM! If anyone is interested in finding out about it I will leave my website.If anyone decides this is for you there is a fee of $9.95. You will make moneu and recurring. If in 30 days you're not satified with your income, you're 9.95 will be returned to you. This is the fist job after i read all the information and the help you receive to succeed to make money and a recurring monthly income Ijoined and paid the 9.95. It's working1 No obligations. Check it out. http://mymoneyfish.com/u/nyjessieca Ihope to hear fom people regardless if you come to check out my website about this online job, or not. Jessie

Hi there, at first i would like to welcome you to this site, and second i think you are not reading the TOS because you posted a referral link which is not allowed in this site, i am not against you, i just wanted you to know that you must first read some guidelines before posting to any site. Anyway, regarding your topic, i think this sites are scam so i don't join those sites. Thank you.

Happy New Year! Thank You for your response to the topic I wrote about. It was very helpful, and kind of you to give me the info about the site I listed for potential interest in the job I found. I don't mean to use this as an excuse,but;I am not very proficient when it comes to understanding technology,techniques,how to..., when it comes to aspects of the computer. I did teach myself how to use my computer, so I'm proud of that,but it's important when I make mistakes, that it's pointed out to me,like you did. I felt alittle embarrassed, but I would have felt worse if what I shared caused anyone misguided problems, including my being terminated from mylot because I broke any rules. So Thank You again for telling me the truth and pointing out my mistakes,as well as your opinion. To me, that takes courage. always, Jessie
