-- Posted by scalywag66 at 4:46 am on Aug. 28, 2008 Not me per se, but sort of. My lady signed up for some marketing survey secret shopper "side gig" thing. Right? So she recieves a check after signing up for about $3,000 and some change with a list of how she is to spend the money and where. She had to call a Canadian number to inform whatever John Doe's name was printed on the letter, that she had recieved the check and was instructed to deposit the check in an account and call back and notify so that they could lift the 'Hold' on the money. So my lady, like a numbnut, deposits the check into my account since she doesn't have one and uses my account for her banking needs since she can't open a regular account for having already been put on collections. She waited a few days as instructed for the cash to clear, and after about 3 failed attempts to have the money cleared, was I charged $45 dollars each time the bank tried clearing the check but never went through. I ripped my lady a new anus for being gullible these kind of scams, especially when I told her before not to when she was first introduced to the idea od "Secret Shopper". That's about it, what about you guys? -- Posted by sosupkthnx at 4:47 am on Aug. 28, 2008 I did a horse for $200 but the ad said $12 million. -- Posted by marshmellowman at 4:50 am on Aug. 28, 2008 Nothing, because I'm not stupid enough to fall for any bullshit like that. -- Posted by bangalterdaft at 4:52 am on Aug. 28, 2008 I always read fine print. I don't trust anything that says "get rich quick" or "be your own boss" or "make 3,000 a day" It is all scam scam scam. If it sounds too good to be true it probablly is. -- Posted by palepalepeach at 4:55 am on Aug. 28, 2008 Nothing, really, besides signing up for forums and newsletters and whatever that turned out to be dumb or won't stop sending me emails now. -- Posted by citygirl991 at 5:07 am on Aug. 28, 2008 basically think nothing is reliable on the net, and  you'll do fine.
