I was scammed too. I thought that it was safe because I couldn’t find any complaints regarding the company Emtec Logistics. I googled and I checked with the BBB, no foul play reported, I could only find more of their VA job listings. They didn’t ask for money or personal information, only my resume, salary reqs and ref’s, so it all seemed legit. I was sent an employment contract, very official looking on company letterhead. My job was to do internet research, prepare an excel report and email by deadline… simple enough. I worked diligently for two weeks, with my on-line supervisor answering my questions and providing me with my next assignment. They told me my petty cash fund would arrive in Dec. UPS did show up, only to tell me the package was rerouted back to sender. My supervisor explained that the petty cash was not necessary til Jan 2010, so I would receive it after the holidays. My paycheck was supposed to be delivered to my home by Fed Ex on Dec 23 and I should let them know when it arrives.. Since then, neither the company, nor my on-line supervisor has replied to my email or IM’s. Even their 866 phone is “temporarily disabled”. I find it really surprising that anyone would go to such elaborate lengths just to get a few reports for free. Maybe, someone else actually has this job and wanted to take some time off? I guess inexperience and desperation = SUCKER! Still unemployed, still have two kids to support, still can’t count on my babies Daddy for help, and still a desperate sucker!

Hello Eddy, In January 2008 I signed up with hazelpeppergood.com, I sent in my money only to recieve a booklet to other companys, then I sent out additional money to Worldwide publications. It has been months of many e-mails written and no reply, I know this is terrible, and I was scammed.
