I got this e-mail today and even though I need the money I am always a little weary of mass e-mails for jobs like this. Here's the e-mail:

Hello,

What if I told you that you can stay at home and make an extra cash without ever leaving your house, would you get excited?
Of course you would! This is absolutely true. Our current members are making 1000's weekly entering data from the comfort of their own homes.

There are no special skills or experience needed for our data entry program.
All you need is access to the Internet, have basic typing skills and follow our simple step by step system That's it!
You can work whenever you wish.
You are in control and there are no deadlines to meet.
This is a perfect opportunity for stay at home moms, students, home makers, or anyone that is in need of some extra cash.
You can make it a part time job to add to your income, help pay your bills, or save money for college, or you can make it your main source of income. It's your choice.

If you are interested just reply to my email!


Anyone know anything about it?

Thanks!

yes
you should give him your bank acct and routing # too, so that he can initiate direct deposit.

uhh, i think the "what if I told you..." part should tip you off.

I bet you have to pay to sign up. Any "job" where you have to pay them to start up is obviously a scam.

dude

you have to put your name and address at the tail of the list, and mail 5$ to the person at the head before taking them off. otherwise the whole system breaks down.

you don't even have to read the post to know that the job is a waste.

Hey graywolf, my Nigerian uncle needs to borrow your bank account to store the million dollars he just inherited from his kingdom.

Definitely one of those "sounds too good to be true" things.

if it was really a desirable job they wouldn't have to send out mass emails to hire people.

1/10/2006 9:53:01 PM

I signed up and made like...ok, not really. Yeah, it's hard to say when these are legit and when they aren't. If it's too good to be true, it usually is.
