Too good
Have u ever got hold of something which was TOO good for you?As about myself, i never have
I usually take gratefully what my life gives me, and even if that obviously too much even for the most desirable
i try to get used to a thought that I deserve this
I rember some months ago I found one very attractive job add on internet. The promissed pay was something around 60 grand per year for part time hours (4-5 a day), with duties to advertise product, bill customers, control money income and do some reconciliation reports for the office.
I was somewhere in the
, I thanked God for that gift, and already thought of some ways where to spend money They made me a job offer withing the same day I applied
and enquired some ID scans of myself along with bank details. (which I sent to them)
I really did.The next day I received the detailed job description which drew me to the state of
I must provide customers with my own bank details, collect their money, cash out, and send the money to 'company's' bank account through Western Union.
But I never lost my hope
i tried my best to seek the explanation to all hapening, because I was too reluctant to realize that it was just a scam, and all money 'not-ever-to-be-erned' I had already to give back.Instead, I sought reason after a reason to asure myself of that it might be true, until one my dear friend (Cs member as well) told me - C'mon Aisha, don't be a fool, how can you possibly believe in this BS? He also provided me with some very handy sites where u can find all oficial information about a company, and I, certainly never found them there.
Thank him very much for his time and care, he is a very good friend and i can recommend him to everyone if of course he doesnt mind
and doesnt think that it is too much.He and the other friend of mine (who lives here close to me) they always made my feet feel the ground and not to fly somewhere too far away from it.
My other friend Mike (he doesnt mind me saying his name
) he found me drunk same evening at the pub and asked politely somewhat like : wow! what's the ocasion?- I've lost my job - i answered him without raising my head from the table.
- But you never had it! - smiled he at me.
And only then I realized that there are some things which are obviously TOO good to be true.
As to my ID's i really dont know if they can use those scans for some nasty purposes.
if anyone has any ideas please advise me.

Just had a read of your blog,
wow when I read Western Union
that set the alarm bells ringing.
Never fall for it, if it sounds too
good to be true then it usually is.
I have always had this philosophy that is something sounds to good to be true, it normally is so. As your friend said - you lost nothing. It could have been so much worse.
I had my ringing bell off the first day, i checked the company's site, it seemed to be a decent one, there were lots of feed backs and comments from their 'customers' about the product, services and delivery, all seemed very real. Then I googled them and didnt find anything negative on forums. Nothing about them at all, that seemed a bit strange, but as they stated that they are a new company, i decided to give it a go.
The next day, of course, i was very surprized.
Yeah its certainly is
But it was as real!... Those guys obviously tried hard to make it so.
U have a lovely rest of the day
in my business, i come across almost everyday with "great business ideas" the new revolution product, the gold mine, etc, etc .... and they are only great to those organized crime organizations.. because they are..organized
just be careful how you share your details...
I have also received letters if that kind with only difference that it stated that i inhereted some millions from my late uncle- whom i never known ( there they changed one letter at the end of my real surname and assured me that even if i wasnt his real relative i still could claim the money)
that sounded funny to me and as i assumed back then - very fair - a person who allegedly does any wrong (fraud in that case) should be punished, shouldnt they?
The only thing that annoyed me too much that time was, why on earth yahoo reveals such private info as our surnames or phone numbers, because i know fo sure i never contacted those people before, and they could learn all that details only thru my yahoo
be wary of anything that seems too easy!!!
if I price job I always add on maybe 20% for haggle purposes only...people like a deal and I expect 20/30% reduction on original quotation price(is fair)...the one's that drive a hard bargain these type your mostly guaranteed pay wen job completed...the one's that agree instantly with your first quotation is most likely these type never had any intention of paying and should be avoided.
no easy fix in this life but were all inclined to look for shortcut on occasions...only hard work actually works
wouldn't worry about your ID's Ashia007...what did you say your bank details were again???
I am very glad that you're okay and safe.
Good luck podryzka
Please elaborate what is door to door shame
Good luck to u too dear
Do those really believe that they can find such a fool who will do that money laundering from their own account? Thats just impossible, i think, there in the required chararteristics for that position was 2-3 years work experiense in the similar role. That was their mistake i guess, because a person, who worked at least one day in their life, will get it immediately that all that is a complete bs
That situation with my ID's, that worries me the most, but it already happened and now, i see, i can do nothing about that.
Anyway, you take care too
I believe this my sad experiense will be an alert for many guys, to be more carefull with the companies they cant google.
