Another bunch of Craigs List Crapola, a rather large stinking pile of it too

Where do I begin? First off most of the email is the same old bs that I've gotten from all the other scammers.

But getting a Master's in Microbiology at a community college? That's a nice trick if you can do it.

35 years old and still calling his father his daddy? ODD.

Punctuation, grammar, run-on sentences, sometimes I is capitalized and sometimes it is not (sometimes in the same sentence even).

Lobby Hits Question

Anybody know of a way to contact the PO/webmaster of Lobby Hits? My account is suspended because the icons wouldn't load for me at least 1/2 the time so I clicked whatever.

There is no contact button anywhere on the front page or when I'm logged in to the site either.

Mary Johnson maryj673@gmail.com

Hello,

Thanks for getting back to me. My name is Mary 25years old from United Kingdom,and i am looking for a roommate or someone to share an apartment with for the whole year.. Well, I'm an easy going person with special interest in swimming. I don't drink nor smoke,no pets,I'm a very busy Women.Also i need to secure this room for myself before i arrive to the state as I'll be moving in with my luggage. You seem to be a very interesting person to be with and I must confess to you that you will enjoy staying with me in the house because i make people smile always.

I am a chemist by profession and i am currently working with St Thomas' Hospital, Lambeth Palace Road, London SE1 7EH Guy's Hospital, St Thomas Street, London SE1 9RT. I am married with a kid, although they will not be coming with me to the state,i will travel to London to visit them once in a while.

I will be coming to the state towards 2nd week of September for the next 6 to 7month and during my stay i will be working with the United State Environmental Protection Agency on a private research work. It will be a great pleasure seeing you soon,you can call me on our land line which is +447035907855.I will attach a picture of me in my next email , I think you should let me know a lil about you too,

Mary Johnson

FORTY AND OVER lol. It's not an apartment, its two rooms. She is a WOMEN, I guess that means she has multiple personalities? United STATES not STATE. And funny isn't it that the EPA doesn't have an office in Bend, OR. The regional office is in Seattle, WA which is a good 600 miles from Bend, OR. There is a EPA laboratory in Corvallis, OR which is still 200 miles away. Guess she'll be having one hell of a daily commute to her 'private research work."

The phone number is linked to a huge amount of scams found here: http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/447035907855

If she was actually working at Thomas' Hospital, Lambeth Palace Road,London SE1 7EH Guy's Hospital, don't you think she'd send an email from a hospital email address not gmail?

I didn't even bother replying to this one. LOL.

TechnoTard Gets It (FINALLY)

So okay, I've had my mp-3 player for at least 5 years and never done anything with it. But now that I'm spending more time walking (and on the bus) there are people I'd rather not listen (not to mention THEIR music and THEIR cellphones LOL)

. I normally break new tech things just by looking at them, but I managed to download United Breaks Guitars (Songs 1, 2, and 3) (Yes, Dave Carroll, I paid 99 cents each CAD for them at your site LOL) and sync them to my mp-3 player.

Now I want to find Wide Awake by Katy Perry, anything by Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga, oldies (rock n roll), 80's 90s country and pop, soul and gospel (any year), jazz, Enya (actually anything other than most rap and really old country--by really old I mean Hillbilly Heaven). Am willing to pay but I don't have a lot of money

Asking me to remove the add(SIC) is a bit cheeky considering 1) she's a scammer and 2) I couldn't rent to her if I wanted to.

P.S..the entire email was runon sentences and poor spelling (especially for someone who brags that she speaks English fluently) and poor punctuation and poor grammar and even worse punctuation.

Please note that stated in the ad (see link above) is this: "Age limit is not negotiable, because this is an ADULT park (40 and over)" and this "Furnished private bedroom in clean and quiet SE Bend ADULT (40 and over, NO EXCEPTIONS!!) mobile home park"

In addition, the only college we have here is a 2 year (community) college with an extension campus for a 4 year school. There is no way in hades this person is getting her Master's in THIS town, and the closest university/college is 200+ miles away one way.

Just more of the bushwa! LOL

A Bit of Explanation

The main reason that I post these emails from the Craigs' list scammers (employment and room ad both) is that these people aren't just trying to scam one person. This bushwa (as my stepfather would have called it, god rest his alcoholic soul!) isn't sent to me and me alone.

The Craigs List job postings scams are being posted all over the USA. That's one reason why I get 5-6 replies from different people with different email addresses (and basically for different jobs as well) when I send one resume in response to a Craig's List job posting

. There are ways to tell whether a Craigs List job posting is legit or not. Poor spelling, grammar, and punctuation are usually dead giveaways to a potential scam. Extremely high salaries for very little work are another thing that should make your 'scam-o-meter' hit the red zone. Recently there have been a lot of postings that want something along these lines: full time/part time front office/back office receptionist/admin assistant. Yes all of that is one job title. A legit employer will post several listings if he needs both full time and part time employees. A receptionist and an administrative assistant are two totally different jobs, and one pays much better than the other. The scammers haven't taken the time to differentiate between them.

The room scams follow a distinct pattern. There will be a first email that is innocent-sounding enough; it usually asks if the room is still available, although I had one today asking if my apartment/sublet was still available. Once you answer their questions, you get a huge long email about how wonderful they are and how they are coming to the 'state' (state never specified though) to further their education. Then having convinced you that they are Mother Teresa, the Dali Lami, and Dr Phil all rolled into one, they say that they need your full name, address, phone number, email address, and other personal information so that their employer/father/friend/the man in the moon (alright, I haven't had one yet say the man in the moon) can send you a check for the room rent for the first month. The catch is that the check will be for more than the first month rental cost; you are supposed to cash that check and send the rest of the money back either to the person who sent it to you or to the 'flight manager' of the person who is supposedly renting your room.

The problem with that whole check scenario is that the check is going to be fraudulent. Your bank will hold YOU responsible for the total amount of the check plus any overdraft fees charged against your account when the check bounces. In the meantime the scammer has gotten the cash you sent them.

The room scam is also played out with ads for physical goods on Craigs List, and sometimes by the same people (or at least they use the same email address). They want you to take down the listing because they want your item very badly. They will send a check to you for it, and their 'agent' (who is usually in on the scam) will come pick it up. You need to give them your name,home address, phone number, and email address. Yes, the agent will come pick it up. The check will bounce just like the one in the room scam, and your bank will come after YOU.

I post the replies I get so that when other people search Google, Bing, or other reputable search engines to see if the replies they are getting are legit they will find out that they aren't. I learned to do this with my first Craigs List postings, for a large set of cocktail forks (not silver, but stainless) and a vintage creamer. I googled the email addresses and came up with a huge list of scams and attempted scams linked to those email addresses.

The position is part time and home-based meaning you can work most times from your home as long as you have a regular internet access. You are also hired on a trial basis for now until we are able to see how well we fit in, this however does not affect your weekly wage.Most of your activities will be carried out locally and most official packages will be delivered via posts. You will be actively involved in my personal, business and financial life. In summary, your activities as my assistant amongst other things will include;

* A personal reminder for Schedules, programs, flights and keeping me up to date with them as they come up;

* Carrying out specific projects and research;

* Making regular contacts and drop-offs on my behalf.

* Handling and monitoring financial activities.

* Processing and taking charge of weekly payments and purchases.

* General clerical activities.

Basic wage is $400 a week. Any extra personal expenses (transport, gas, etc) incurred by you while on an errand or otherwise will also be reimbursed by me at the end of each working Month.This position is very flexible and it is difficult judging the exact number of hours you will be doing,just bear it in mind that there will be busier weeks than others with a steady pay. Working with me is basically about instructions and following them . There is also a very sensitive issue on trust, dedication and accountability which I believe will resolve itself as time goes on.This is only an introductory e-mail, as time goes on we should be able to arrange a proper meeting to get things started officially. I am currently in Canada, for business .However, I do have a number of work you can get done, prior to my arrival.Due to the excessive number of responses to my Ad, do provide the following details about yourself for my personal record update and to filter applicants;

Your Full Name:

Street Address:

Apartment Number: ( IF ANY )

City: State:

Zip Code:

Country:

Cell/Home phone number:

Age: Present working Status:

Email:

I hope you can be available for me immediately before I arrive, it certainly can act as a stable foundation to our impending working relationship.

Best Regard,

Lewis Williams

Aug 10 (3 days ago) to me Hi,

Thank you for taking an interest and for contacting us about the job position. As the HR Manager I am pleased to learn you are serious about the position.

You certainly seem qualified for our job position and more so than the other five folks we received applications from, so we are pleased about you letting us know you're interested and contacting us.

We would appreciate the opportunity to talk to you about setting up a time to talk to you further, in all likelihood next Wednesday.

What we offer is excellent benefits to all our full time employees, part time employees have limited benefits as they receive health care only.

Benefits include:

Medical and dental, eye care, life/disability insurance, tuition plans after 6 months, sick/vacation time and 401k.

The job position will require you to work in a position that allows you access to company cash as well as customers’ credit card info and company goods and supplies so it's our policy that we do a financial and criminal background check on all employees to verify applicant registration info.

Anything more than a speeding ticket, such as a misdemeanor or felony will disqualify you from employment.

It's our corporate policy that we do a financial verification check on all employees to verify applicant registration information and citizenship to ensure that we don’t hire any illegal aliens.

Additionally please let us know:

-Whether you prefer a morning interview 9-1 or an afternoon interview 2-5

-4 personal references should we feel the need to contact them

-2 business references as well

-Working number to contact you and confirm your interview date

We ask that you make sure your information is accurate in your response to us

I will give you a tour of our facilities, discuss pay structure and go over job duties.

However, before I can schedule a formal meeting, we require that you obtain a recent credit score.

We enforce this because our company had a few bad incidents with prior employees taking advantage of access to company assets.

You can attain that here http://www.creditscoresteps.com/?oh57ib=0vkowg

PLEASE DO NOT email us your report. Instead print it out and bring a copy to the interview as we will need to have it on file.

Since this is just a pre-screen formality your actual score will not affect your chances of being hired.

If you do not wish to send in a recent credit check, unfortunately we will need to speak with our second choice.

We are looking to fill this position immediately so do not hesitate.

Reply with the "task completed" and an availability time to set up an interview.

Have a great Friday

Craigs List (More of What the Bull Left Behind)!!

Hello,

I'm looking for someone that can be trusted and reliable to work very well with good understanding as my Personal Assistant.This position i am offering is home-based and flexible, working with me is basically about instructions and following them, my only fear is that i may come at you impromptu sometimes, so i need someone who can be able to meet up with my irregular timings. As my Personal Assistant, your activities amongst other things will include;

Primary Responsibilities:

* Creating orders/pick slips/invoices/credit memos.
* Processing return authorizations for me as needed.
* Running personal errands.
* supervisions and monitoring.
* Scheduling programmes, flights and keeping me up to date with them.
* Acting as an alternative telephone correspondence while I'm away and when needed as i am hard on hearing that is why computer works for me.Making regular contacts and drop-offs on my behalf. Handling and monitoring some of my financial activities as the case maybe.

Basic wage is $400 Weekly

I'm sure you'll understand I tend to have a very busy schedule at this point. Please note that this position is not office based for now because of my frequent travels and tight schedules, it's a part-time work from home for now and the flexibility means that there will be busier weeks than others. I would like to give you an immediate trial, so if you are interested kindly get back to me. As I have been checking my files and schedules and would need someone urgently to run some errands for me this week/next week, while I am away. I will have some funds sent to you to complete the errands and would get back to you with more information on that, get back to me with your Personal/Contact Details such as:

FULL NAME:

SEX:
EMAIL ADDRESS:
PRESENT JOB:

Thanks in anticipation of your prompt response.

Yours Sincerely

Yadda, yadda, yadda. More of what the bull left behind, a rather large steaming pile of it at that. Why do I say that? The resume I sent him via email has full name, address, city, state, zip code, home phone, and two email addresses. Also, a resume by definition has a present job listed if you are working. SEX? You run into any guys named SUELLEN lately?

Here We Bloody Go AGAIN!!

Alicia Morgan

Okay, what part of must be 40 and over does this person not understand? And funnily enough Bend, Oregon currently has no masters' degree programs at all. We have a community college and an extension campus of a 4-year college that currently offers NO graduate programs in any field.

Then there's the fact that the ad fully describes not only the room but the whole house. There are also 4 pictures of the house in the ad

Once again, this is a large load of what the bull left behind

Life in the Crappy Lane

My cat was trying to escape this morning when I took the garbage out (Wednesday is garbage day). I was paying more attention to him than I was to where I was going, and that nasty door frame just hopped right up and bit my toe. I should not go outside without wearing shoes! It's possibly broken, possibly fractured, definitely seriously bruised. My feet are so swollen from water retention that I can't tell if the toe is swollen or not. It has ached with varying degrees of intensity from the time I did it until now, and I haven't even tried to put any weight on it (I walk using my heel and keep the toe from coming into contact with any surface).

Edited 7/18/2012: Toe is just severely bruised and I will probably lose the toenail sooner or later. Slept with a big puffy shark bedroom slipper protecting that foot for a few nights.

Then to add to the stress level I got a call from a nephrologist (yeah I had to google that one too, she's a kidney doctor). Apparently my primary care physician sent in a referral on June 28th (I don't even remember him discussing this referral with me, and the last time I saw him my kidneys WERE filtering better and my creatine level was lower). Be that as it may, I have an appointment on Tuesday with the nephrologist. So of course, I'm freaking out that my primary care doctor saw something in my bloodwork that he didn't tell me about. And I'm already mad at him because I still don't have the results of last week's bloodwork (Thursday) and echocardiogram (Friday).

I have diabetes (type 2) and that's a real concern with kidney issues. In addition, I retain water like there is no tomorrow, and I haven't been allowed to take my Lasix or my hydrachlorathiazide (diuretics) for at least 3 weeks. My feet usually look like footballs by the end of the day because I spent 90% of my time glued to the computer writing articles (I am seriously underemployed, and the only money I bring in every month is unemployment, PTR earnings, survey earning, other online earnings, and whatever I make from the writing gigs). Even when I wear my lovely compression stockings, my feet are still swollen by the end of day because I just don't get enough exercise.

Edited 7/18/2012: Saw the nephrologist yesterday afternoon. She thinks it was the lasix that stressed out my kidneys, but still thinks its a very good idea to limit my diet coke intake (down to 1-2 12 oz cans a day from 5 or more a day) and continue drinking lots of water. Somehow I lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks so I'm happy. Walking helps the feet swelling too.

I was sick Saturday July 7, Sunday July 8, and Monday July 9 with the heat here (87-89) and swollen legs/feet plus extremely sore nipples (was thinking I might be getting my first period in 4 months but so far nothing, so I'm leaning towards thinking I was/am retaining water in my breasts too). So yesterday I finally started feeling better and wrote a whole lot of articles for my Odesk and private clients. Today of course that all went to hell with my toe aching for nearly 12 hours and my stress level over the kidney issues.

Plus I'm having serious problems with a friend (ex-business partner) who has made it clear in every way possible that she does NOT trust me, and when I took offense to this she called me names and said that I didn't do any work on the website anyway. I only created a Facebook page for the business at her insistence(she said she didn't know how to do it), provided customer support both via my personal instant messengers and through the website itself, and added nearly all of the sites for PTP (paid to promote) approval before the site was launched. She thinks that the $12.00 I got from the few sales we made is adequate compensation for probably 12 hours of work altogether. All of this blew up just seconds after I'd hung up with the nephrologist's office and probably 2-3 hours after the toe incident.

More Craigs List Bushwa

My stepfather used to say "Bushwa" for "Bullshit" LOL

Veronica Guidry ghhyeinmidexs@gmail.com

Jun 24 (5 days ago)

to me

Thanks for getting back to me and I read your posting on Craigslist,and I am very interested in the room. It's in the perfect location for me and it sounds like we could be great roommates. I will be arriving the state by earlier of this month just let me know when we can start the lease although i wont arrive to the state until 10th of .July

About me: I'm Veronica Guidry female from Spain, specifically Malaga.i am 32 years of age. I am currently working with the Federal Agency of Works and Natural Resources . I am pretty quiet and neat,but not obsessively so. I'm responsible and will pull my weight around the apartment and pay bills on time. I like to cook, and it would be great to have people to cook with or eat with, but it's definitely not a requirement in a roommate. I don't smoke and I don't have any pets.I've got a lot going on this year, so i won't be around the apartment all that much. Mostly, I’d just like a place that I can come home to and chill at the end of the day. I am social, though, and get along well with most people. I probably won't have too many house guests, but I would like to feel comfortable bringing friends over once in awhile.

More so i would really want to secure the room before my arrival, and more so to know if it would be possible for me to pay for the room before my arrival, So i will like to know the total amount of the room per month and the utility included. All these information are very important so that i can submit my proposal to my Organization.My Organization will be responsible for all the fees and the payment .Please let me know if I can give you any more info that would be helpful for making your decision. I will be more than happy if you can tell me little about you too. I will also like to see more picture of the room if possible.

Thanks & God bless

Must be over 40 (not my rules, the rules of the manufactured home park I live in). Other than that, sounds great but I just know the next email would be the scam letter. Thanks, but no thanks!

A New Twist But Still a SCAM!!

to me

Thank you very much for the response,firstly I will like you to know little about me. I am Martha Greg was born and raised in Wyoming,I am quiet and easy going person to live with. I'm 26 years of age... I am extremely clean,quiet and respectful, I am sensitive, intelligent and am easy to get on with. ..I am a faithful and committed person, who is very considerate of other people's feelings. I don't drug and i dont smoke or drink.. I enjoy going out with my friends to movies, plays, parks, hikes, anything to do with the ocean and horses but i'm cool living with people.

Right now, am working for a Non Government Organization on a program on children with orphans and heart related probs.My next program/seminars will be in your town and I will need a room to stay for these seminars, so I want to secure a room before my arrival.

I must confess that i'm comfortable with the area of the house/apt and i am ready to pay for the room. I would have loved to call you but this is a remote area calls are very hard to go through from here... Meanwhile I would have loved to come and check at the room before renting but due to the distance, but with pictures I will be glad.I will like to make the payment for the first month ahead of my arrival, and then i will make subsequent payment thereafter as i plan to stay for 6-12months.I have told my boss about this and he promised to make sure that he will meet up with the payment so that I can depart from here as scheduled.He also said I will have the advantage to make payment for deposit .I should arrive to your place on or before the 21st of July (Willing to pay for the whole month of July),so pls keep the room for me till my arrival.He also said the mode of payment will be the Most acceptable, safer and reliable means of payment which is United state certified Cashier Check so get back to me with your full mailing information to get payment mailed to you in no time.

INFORMATION TO FACILITATE THE MAILING OF THE CHECK.

* Full name:
* Address:
* City, State, Zip Code:
* Cell number:
* First Month Rent:

Kindest Regards,

Martha

The ad itself (http://bend.craigslist.org/roo/3061353933.html) clearly states 40 and over. I guess these rocket scientists can't read!

Spelling and grammar is atrocious even for someone supposedly from Wyoming (just kidding for all you Wyoming residents).

Just another scam. These people give me lots of blog fodder, I will say that much for them.

HR Manager

Yeah, right. The link DOES to go a credit score company, I'll give them that much. I think this is another 'forced traffic to the affiliate link' for the credit score company. If it was legit, they wouldn't need to cloak the url.

Domain it was sent from doesn't exist as a working site. Another clue we are in scam land, or at the very least (again) forced traffic to the affiliate link land.

Bye,Grace or whatever your name really is

Funny isn't how I got a nice scam email from this person (using a different name, naturally, but same email address except for the 2) on a different job from Craigs List

http://suellenjillroley.blogspot.com/2012/06/another-craigs-list-job-scam.html

The link in the second BS email goes to Gift Shelter (giftshelter.com). This time she's trying to force affiliate signups with a fake job listing.

Again, the area code is not right for Central Oregon. Area code 503 is the Portland, Salem, and Astoria areas of Oregon.

This is just yet another Craigs List job listing scammer

Just another scam.

Another Craigs List Room Scam

So after kicking out my alcoholic, manipulative, lying roommate, I rewrote my Craigs List ad and reposted it on Craig's List.

http://bend.craigslist.org/roo/3061353933.html

Please note that the room is in a mobile home park/manufactured home park that sells/rents to only those people who are 40 years old or older. This age requirement is mentioned at least twice in the ad itself.

** CRAIGSLIST ADVISORY --- AVOID SCAMS BY DEALING LOCALLY
** Avoid: wiring money, cross-border deals, work-at-home
** Beware: cashier checks, money orders, escrow, shipping
** More Info: http://www.craigslist.org/about/scams

Hello there,
How you doing today? I am writing to know if the space you advertise on craigslist is still available. I will also need current picture of the place, i wait to read from you as soon as possible.

CARLISA.

My response:

There are current pictures of the house in the ad itself. It is NOT available until June 21st 2012 (ad stated that too). Are you a non-smoker? Are you over 40? If not, I'm sorry but I can't rent to you.

"Thanks for your prompt response,i just got your message right now and am very happy to know that the place is still available, I will not be able to come and see it due to the distance. Here is little about me.... My name is Yen Carlisa 25years, female, from Zurich, Switzerland. I presently live and work in Geneva as Medical doctor with UNAIDS (www.unaids.org) I will be coming to State for medical research due to nature of our work. This was why i made inquiry as per the availability of your space. Please let me know the equipment that are available in the rent..

For the payment that is not a problem at all, because my boss will be highly responsible for all my expenses, all i have to do is to confirm the amount of the room which i have done including the utilities (if there is any) and then get it sent to him so that payment can be mail out for my deposit. However i will be in need of the information in which the payment will be issued to,So all i require of you is for you to send me your...

FULL NAME
FULL ADDRESS (City,State and Zip code)
PHONE NUMBER
EMAIL ADDRESS

So that I can forward it to my boss because my boss will be paying for the rent, my flight and some other things so all you have to do is that as soon as you receive the check he will send.You will deduct your rent fee and the utilities from it and then get the rest back to my flight manager so that my ticket can be booked. Waiting to hearing from you. I will want all this information for quick payment asap please.

Regards."

Okay, let me spell out the ways this stinks.

If you are legitimately looking for a room to rent, you don't need to falsify or cloak your email address. The first email was from michelle3fa@gmail.com but the reply went to email address carlisa1981yen@gmail.com. The reply was also from carlisa1981yen@gmail.com.

If you read the ad, there are 4 current pictures included in the ad itself. Why would she need more pictures?

In my first reply I specifically asked her if she was over 40 or not, and made it clear that I could not rent to her if she wasn't 40 years old or older. See bolded age above.

She clearly states that she's only 25, and a doctor to boot. My butt she's a doctor. Maybe she plays a doctor on television, or maybe she once 'played doctor' with the boy next door, but in my opinion only Doogie Howser MD is 25 years old and working as a medical doctor. And that was only on TV, it's very rare for someone age 25 to be a full-fledged MD in real life.

It takes 8-10 years to become a fully fledged medical doctor, this liar would have had to graduated from high school before she was 15 years old to be a MD at 25 years of age.

If you read the ad itself (and aren't just trying to scam me) it says very clearly what is included in the rent. All the 'equipment' is listed in the ad.

If she's going to be doing medical research like she states, why not give me the name of her new employer at St Charles Medical Center (the only hospital in this area)?

If this liar was actually working at unaids.org, and her boss was really involved in this, don't you think she would have a unaids.org email address?. Both of the email addresses were gmail, which any idiot can sign up for. I have around 10 gmail addresses of my own.

She never did address the non-smoking question. I am on nocturnal oxygen and therefore CANNOT allow smoking in my house even if I could stand the smell of smoke (truthfully, it makes me want to PUKE!). Besides, after 10 months of living with a smoker, I am fully aware of how even forcing them to smoke outside is not good enough. My former roommate's body, hair, clothes, and room smelled of smoke even though he never smoked in the house (or at least I never CAUGHT him smoking in the house!). He's been gone for a week and his bedroom still has a stench of smoke.

Where are the numerous references I asked for in my ad? If this person was legitimate, I should have 3-5 references. And if she's really a hot shot medical doctor at UNAIDS in Geneva Switzerland at least one of those references should be from the executive director Michel Sidibe http://www.unaids.org/en/

If I agreed to her plan, I am sure I would find myself with a check that either wasn't cashable OR once it was cashed it would turn out to be a bogus check. My bank would hold ME responsible for that check and any overdraft or other fees relative to it

we are looking to start someone this next week click here fill out the application then call or text me 5034103720 when it is done thanks

the link went to http://www.publicsectorjobs.info/?tsid=100266&afid=&ofid=7407&opid=176062&opid2=2366&fn=&ln=&ea=&st=&ph= theres no application there.

The phone number area code is for WESTERN Oregon, but the job is supposedly located in EASTERN Oregon (Bend, Oregon to be exact)

When I googled the phone number it comes up with a whole bunch of ads for free kittens on Craigs List. Funny how an ad supposedly from Williamsport and another ad from Annapolis have the same exact wording and phone number isn't it now? And a mobile listing for 3 week old kittens. Hmmmm, nobody but a scammer spammer idiot would even try to give away kittens that haven't even been weaned yet

Same phone number comes up with Auburn Alabama and Sioux City IA Craigs List listing for pitbulls. Also lots of listings for other animals throughout the USA. This smells really bad.

Reverse phone number brings up a cell phone in St Helens, OR (still in Western Oregon, not EASTERN Oregon). Theres a difference of 200-250 miles between Bend, Oregon and St Helens, OR. Why would a job that is supposedly in Bend be using a cell phone from St Helens, OR.

Then there's the email address. Gmx.com is a free email address. Any business that can pay 12.00 an hour (which is fairly high for this neck of the woods, minimum wage is currently $8.80 per hour here, and I was hard pressed to get $10.00 per hour when I moved back here in 2005--and the economy has tanked since then in case you hadn't already noticed) can certainly afford to have their own website and domain name.

In this country NOBODY uses TICKET in a job posting.

PTR IS NOT A JOB!!

This may come as a shock to the person that thought spamming Neobux on my blog was acceptable..........do you even read what you are posting on? A complaint about PIF's popup that abuses visitors to their page and Neobux, how to they relate to one another? I bet you can't answer that question mostly because they don't relate at all.

The Neobux spammer stated this: Our 'job' is to see ads every day. IMO, this person should really learn how to define job. PTC/PTR and all the rest other than a few big name MLM is a HOBBY. I might add, it's a hobby that pays pretty poorly for most people.

If clicking links were such a lucrative JOB, I shouldn't have had to sell most of my belongings over the last 3 years to pay my bills. If clicking links were such a lucrative JOB, my mother shouldn't have had to pay most of my space rent for nearly a year. If clicking links were such a lucrative JOB, why did I have to rent out a bedroom and bathroom in my house to pay my bills for the last ten months?

If you actually think PTR/PTC/Surveys/PTSU etc are a real job, here's a idea for you to try out, when it comes time to fill out your next loan application or job application, put down that you click links for fractions of pennies (or even for up to 15 cents per click at the really scammy sites) as your job. Be sure to give them the names of the program owners as your 'employers.' I can guarantee that you will hear the laughter of the human resources department or the bank manager for literally miles after you leave. I think the terms 'screaming with laughter' or 'laughing until they cried' would be appropriate here. And you won't get a loan based on that income or a job based on that 'experience'.

No, a job is something that pays REAL money like 8-9-10-12-15-20 dollars per hour. PER HOUR.

A job is where you get paid for your own effort, not people 5 levels or more below you. A job is where you might get health benefits, vacation time, etc.

I make more writing 500 word articles for $2.00 each than I do at PTC/PTR/surveys/PTSU sites. The best year I've ever had with PTR and the like, I made a whopping $3000.00 and some of that was ad redemptions and physical items not cash. Even if it was cash that's $250.00 a month.......I pay out a minimum of $645.00 per month every month. Do the math.

PTR IS A HOBBY.

PIF 4 Riches

If I had ever considered joining this site, their popups with "deep links not allowed" have turned me right off. It is NOT me (or anybody else clicking those links) that is the problem, it is their members. If they do not allow their members to promote their site through "deep links" (whatever the hell those are anyway) then tell their members that, and remove the popups from their pages. All the popups do is slow people down and irritate them. And in my case, I won't even take a 'deeper' look at a site that jumps all over ME for their own members errors. I will just close the popup and then close the site. I might even edit my hosts file so that I won't have to look at the site, and have a nasty popup in my face, when I am not the one doing anything wrong. PIF 4 Riches needs to get their heads out of their asses and communicate with their members, not with people who are just clicking links from PTC and PTR sites. We who are clicking have no way of knowing what methods of promotion are and are not allowed. Rant over!

How to Milk a Cash Cow Without Getting Kicked in the Head

Title stolen from Rob Fore (http://blog.robfore.com/how-to-milk-a-cash-cow/)

Now that's an attention getting subject line. And all of us in PTR, PTC, surveys, MLM, social networking can relate to that getting kicked in the head aspect.

Whether or not your personal cash cow(s) have kicked you in the head I encourage you to check out Rob's site, and perhaps download his free information using Facebook.

This is NOT a sponsored post, I was just amused by the subject line.

Praise For A Lot of PO's

Summerday:

I'd left Dynamic Mails under a cloud caused by this very blog. Summerday had the class to welcome me back to her sites in writing when I rejoined them

Summerday owns Dynamic Mails, Area 51, and Joint Venture Emails where she offers a free 3 month upgrade to new members.

First off, she even gave me the upgrade at Dynamic although I wasn't a new member.

Secondly, when I submitted upgraded and redemption ads recently (end of March and beginning of April) at all 3 sites, she processed all my ads so fast it made my head spin.

I had submitted over 100 upgraded and redemption ads at various sites including Dynamic, Area 51 and Joint Venture on April 1st and April 2nd. Not only was Summerday the first to process my ads she processed them within less than 2 hours after I submitted them. I am still waiting on some sites to process ads that I submitted in the same time frame!

Marcyaz:

For some reason I couldn't request payout at Money Box Mails even though I was over the payout amount. I used the contact us function to contact Marcyaz, and when I woke up the next day my requested payout was in my Alert Pay account.

Mumsof6

Mumsof6 contacted me on Facebook and at my personal email address to ask me about my payout request at her site Best Days. She'd marked it paid but couldn't find it in her Alert Pay account. There are a lot of program owners who would have left it up to me to figure out that I hadn't really been paid.

Tony B

TonyB and GeorgieB own Bournemouth Breeze, Anything Goes, Clicks Mania, Guardian Mails, and Mad Money Clickers. Tony had me upgraded at Guardian Mails within half an hour of my paying him, and when I requested payout at Anything Goes and Clicks Mania he combined my payouts into one amount.

These program owners went above and beyond IMO.

Spark People

Free Online Diet Plan at SparkPeople.com

Free Calorie Counter at SparkPeople.com

In October 2011, I fell and hurt my right knee. Since then I have had a lot of pain in the inguinal area of the same leg, and because of the pain I became very sedentary. The lack of exercise combined with no change in my eating habits lead to a weight gain of 15-20 pounds (since I was not the thinnest crayon in the box before the fall, this additional weight was really not needed!)

After 4 1/2 months of inactivity, pain, and nagging my doctor half to death (LOL) I took the bull by the horns, and started taking care of myself.

The motivating factor was the fact that I lost 3 pounds in 3 weeks without even trying.

Now I’m actively trying to lose weight and get in shape.

What do I mean by trying? I am eating healthier as well as using portion control (for example, I now eat one small bowl of Doritos rather than eating the whole bag in one sitting, and I buy ONE ice cream bar rather than 4 half gallons of Breyers and a pint of Haagen Daazs).

I am using dumbbells and ankle weights (5-7 pounds and I have several sets of dumbbells as well as 2 sets of ankle weights) every night when I watch TV, and I’ve started using the exercise bike again.

Next month I plan on buying a quarterly pass for the local aquatic and fitness center. It’s about a 10 minute bus ride from my house so that is very convenient.

I do not know how much weight I’ve lost (other than the original 3 pounds) because several months ago I *accidentally* broke the scale. I can hear the snickers already!

Well, it really WAS an accident–I accidentally stepped on one side of the scale while trying to clean the bathroom and it slammed back down onto the floor and started making wierd noises–but I do have to admit that I did not run right to the store and replace it.

I still feel NO need to replace the scale LOL. I figure I get weighed at least every two months by my doctor(s) or nurse(s) so that’s good enough for me.

I do know that my clothes are a lot looser than they were, and that my legs/back/behind do not hurt when I walk now.

I have to give a shout out to two Facebook friends (Sondra and Traci) who are also fighting the battle of the bulge. Their posts on Facebook and pictures of the food they eat keep me motivated to do this long term. Also their feedback, asking questions, and their ‘liking’ of my posts keeps me accountable. I know if I don’t post for a few days my cousin (Traci) will say hey how are you doing? It’s like a Facebook weight loss support group.

Traci has also motivated me to try food that I’d never eaten before such as laughing cow spreadable cheeses and turkey bacon. Traci and I have similar tastes in food so if she says something is good I can pretty much trust her opinion (although if she ever recommends beef liver I will run in the other direction, been there, did that, didn’t get a t-shirt ROFL)

Another shout out goes to Spark People. http://www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/register.asp?from=friend&ReferredBy=2500605

I have belonged to Spark People for nearly 4 years but haven’t used them to their full potential until recently. There are nutrition and fitness trackers (seeing what I eat and how many fitness minutes I get in a day has been very motivating for me recently).

They also have blogs and spark pages http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal.asp?id=BUGSBUNNY1959

I am tracking protein, calories, fat, sodium, calcium, iron, potassium, cholesterol, and several vitamins. I am trying to get the RDA (recommended dietary allowance) without supplements other than potassium (I am extremely low in potassium even with the 1500 mg in potassium supplements I take every day, so I’m adding more tuna, bananas, etc to my meal plan)

Tonight I fixed a ‘healthy’ omelet: 1/2 cup Lucerne Best of the Egg, 2 slices turkey bacon, 1/4 cup shredded cheese, and 1/4 cup chopped white onion. I microwaved all of the ingredients in the same bowl for about 3 minutes — until the egg substitute was firm but still moist. For dessert, I had raspberries and grapes. I drank one can of Diet Coke with dinner, and one can of Diet Coke after dinner

I am also motivated to lose weight because there is a good possibility that I can stop taking my high blood pressure medication as well as my medication for my borderline diabetes.

HMMMM--Having A Hard Time With This

I received this email today from a PTC (paid to click) site that I belong to

I have been thinking about the lack of ads so far this year. As most of you know.In order for the sites to be sustainable and work for everyone all the way around, we need to see more members upgrading and purchasing ads... The money from upgrades/ads is what is used to pay members with so if we don't have ads then members don't get paid or have to wait for payouts. I would hate to see the sites close down/change in ti (sic) redeem for ad,s (sic) only site but that is what will happen if upgrades/ads aren't bought. It cost a lot to host a site and pay for 9 sites hosting also. With that in mind please consider buying upgrades/ads..even one per member goes a long way. I think that's all for this time so have a good day and happy clicking!!!

The sites are already NOT sustainable if they depend on upgrading and purchasing ads (future cash) to pay current members (past debt).

I received pretty much the same administrative message at several PTRE (paid to read email) sites (all of which are owned by the same person). This really frosts my ass as I already bought affiliate pages at all of these sites, and now am being pressured to buy upgrades and ads.

It seems that a lot of PTR owners and a lot of PTC owners just open up site(s) one after another (or buy already operating sites from other owners) with no real business plan.

Many of them not only rely on future cash to pay current debt but they also rely on cash from the 'new' site to pay current debt on other sites.

It costs $70.00 for the script that is used by most PTR sites--this includes script installation; it costs $20.00-%40.00 for a good PTC script--also includes script installation.

Domains can be registered for anywhere from $1.99 to $19.99 per year, and you can register the domain for more than one year at a time.

A design costs between $12.00 (Aurora PTC design) and $25.00--$75.00 (PTR design). There may be an additional cost if you don't have the tech skill to install your own design.

If you are talented, you can create and install your own designs.

Hosting prices are all over the map, $5.00 per month to $25.00 per month depending on a lot of factors including but not limited to the size of the site, what plugins you use, how much bandwidth you use, how much disk space you use.

So the cost for a basic PTR site without any games or added plugins is approximately $210.00 upfront (assuming the highest cost for domain registration, design, installation, first month of the highest cost for hosting)

The monthly cost (not including payouts to members, remember its called paid to READ for a reason) -- still assuming the highest cost for hosting -- would be $25.00 and of course you will need to renew the domain as necessary (every 1-3 years).

The plugins that can be added to the script range in price from $150.00 (paid-to-promote and ad manager plugins) to $12.00 (contest ptc plugin). Some plugins are freeware (free to use). None of these plugins are absolutely necessary in order to have a working site; some of them make it easier to run the site, and some make the site more attractive to members

PTC sites can be started up for even less money.

PTR and PTC sites generally do not have to be registered with governmental agencies (city, county, state, federal) to do business.

Does this business model work in the 'real' (offline) world?

Do people start offline businesses without having a business plan, even if its only in their head or written on the back of an envelope?

Do offline business owners invest minimal amounts of money upfront because they expect to have enough sales immediately--ie the day they open the doors--to pay their bills (rent for the building, utilities, salaries for their employees) for the business?

I am starting a jewelry business, working out of my home. Am I going to harass my (hopefully) future repeat customers to buy more of my goods because I've lost my job or have unexpected bills? Somehow, I imagine doing so would make my customers head for the hills

Even though I have probably $2000.00 or more in beads that can be used in my jewelry business they were purchased by somebody at some time in the past (ie they are not free). So far I have had to invest in findings, tools, a Dremel drill, a small table vise and a Ryoko drill.

Can you give me an example of a real offline business that can be started for $210.00?

Do offline business owners harass their customers to buy goods and services, and threaten them with closing the business if they don't buy?

Do the owners of offline businesses continue the harassment when the next 'emergency' (job loss for the owner for example) comes up?

Sand Castle Cash--Excellent Customer Service

I contacted the owner of Sand Castle Cash because there was a discrepancy between what the front page said payout was, and what my account page said payout was.

I got a reply within a few hours that the front page was correct. But it was still saying a higher amount on my account page, so I wrote back. Pat asked me to email her with my Alert Pay payment address and she would pay me what was in my account (I was about 4 cents away from the erroneous amount on the account page, and almost a dollar over the 'real' payout amount)

I was paid within a few minutes of sending my Alert Pay address to Pat. Her site is a pleasure to belong to, payouts are fast, answers to support questions are also fast, and she communicates with her members on a regular basis
