I hear you on the desperation. That’s why I’m so against advertising on job boards. It’s taking advantage of a level of deperation some people have. That people are out of work and getting desperate is at least somewhat evidenced by the sheet volume of people come to your blogs and check on “Work at home” opportunities.

I hear you. For some reason the internet has some jeidi mind trick over people. The nonsense that folks would never fall for in person, people eat up on the web. I think a lot of it just has to do with desperation which clouds your judgment. I know the times I’ve been scammed it was because I was dying to work at home and free myself from the man’s tyranny. But nonetheless I take full responsibility for the actions. It was a lesson learned that lead to better things. I don’t like blaming the victims in these situations but I understand your line of questioning.

P.S. Thanks. That Nigeria line had me rolling over here. lmao

Now I’m going to run off to Nigeria. Maybe I can get them to hook me up with some free money. (KIDDING!!)

LOl That’s awesome! Did anyone accuse you of being a scammer and trying to put your ill gotten gains off on them? haha

I just wonder tho what really goes through the minds of people. Think… “Why would I get this money from them?”. If you can’t come up with a reason, you didn’t enter a contest or sweepstakes, etc. It’s probably a ploy of some sort. I know I dont just randomly send my profits out to people I don’t know for no good reason. As if I’ve just got so many fat wads of cash laying around and noplace to put it all….. (I wish)
