Don't allow yourself to be fooled again. Before committing anything, check the legitimacy of the work and the people you will be working for. All works should be given due course so don't allow your effort to be fruitless. It's good that I am working for a legitimate company that pays well and on time.

I think that people who ask you to write are being paid a big time I know the person I was writing for told me he was resubmitting my articles for pay ..so think about it.. you are doing the hard work and they collecting the big money

Sorry to hear that. I could only say the same for you. Just beware of those foolish people. They'll get their karma. And when they do, it'll be ten times more severe than what you suffered. Good day!

It's hard to tell because people who scam are professional at what they do ..they are professional at getting people to take the line that hooks the poor person . I keep saying that I wont get scammed again and before long ..there it happens again.

Some People have been into so much for trying to help people they don't know. I heard of a young lady that was doing a program for a guy and he did her just flat awful. Never paid her for a lot of her work among other things. Oh well I have never been in a bad situation of helping people I don't know.

I think I recall some opportunities you and I did together Ruby.. Remember 500 cents 500 dollars? I think you did some telemarketing for a couple days and never got paid.. Sometimes we do similar things and forget.. I am constantly being taken I tell myself I won't let it happen again and soon after someone has fooled me.

I am so sorry that you have been taken. That is such a shame that people will do this. I have never wrote any for anyone.

I use to try here but they say not acceptable yet I know they can jostle the writing and turn it in for pay..I don't trust the writing ones unless it's just a sentence or two There is a saying .."burn me once, shame on you; burn me twice: shame on me"

hi littlefranciscan that is awful, what a jerk. I guess there are some legitimate sites on the w eb that pay better than that so I would search them out and find out how they pay and if they are legitimate or scammers before doing any work for them at all. +

Scammers... there are lots of them messing in the net. I have once stumbled a site that do investigations and run after scammers and I've read stories of the victims. That site has their investigators really trace those scammers who seem professionals in scamming genuine people.
