M25 Just made a dumb mistake and the dumbest part is she knew better.........ahhhh I'm seriously angry with myself right and have pouted all day, lol I will let you all know when I'm done pouting btw......lol
Anyhow I want some extra cash I miss owning our business w/ all the extra income it was nice, so I looked online for a work from home site......and I thought I was looking at a site of Gov. trusted work at home sites......well the site was a fake to lure you to the work from home scams. So anyhow I read through these and picked the site I was the most interested in which was processing rebates from home. They said you could process a rebate in max. 4 min., pay is $15 per rebate you do 15 rebates in 60 min making $225 in 1 hour.......you pay $197...$210.76 after tax and you get take 3 courses lasting up to 7 weeks they certify you and you get a lifetime list of companies you can offer your services to, you get hands on training free consiltation and blah blah blah...to good to be true, I figured hell I spend at least 2 hrs per day online and I could easily do 120 min worth of work per day and earn $450 per day.........more than my husband YAY!!!! Well against my gut feeling I paid when I knew better but I saw dollar signs and was suckered in like a punk, lol. Anyhow so I got my emails with in an hour was like hell yeah I'll start my first mod tonight! Well there was sign after sign......first there was some answer to a few questions I was trying to submit and each time I hit the submit button it would say warning error reconizes site but no longer exist???? Then it said to copy and paste the email addy in my address book so I'd have it for future ref. so when I tried to do this it said please enter valid email address??? Then when I tried to download the first mod's files it said file has been damaged and cannot be repaired???????? So I was tired and gave up for the night well got on the phone to call the 1-800 # first thing this morn. guess what surprise surprise disconnected number! So I got online right away to see if my bank had paid them already and btw I'm glad I used paypal so they had no access to my bank info. So anyhow paypal had already posted it and it was processing so now I have to pay and then dispute it the fraud dept. said I will get my money back so I'm thankful there but I knew I knew I knew Why would I do this???????? I saw an opportunity and jumped......and if I'd have used my head more before just doing this I'd have realized like I did this morn. that if ppl could make $15 every 4 min. why would anyone pay for college and get up and go tot work?????? I mean in 8 hrs thats $10,000.00 so granted you've still owe taxes but easy darn $. I had a feeling I should not have done this and I still did against ,my better judgment and I'm so mad at me for this, I'm not even mad at them I'm mad at me.......who's the smart one they got me to pay so obviously it's them. I got an answer to the email I sen them last night reporting the prob.'s and I would have beleived them if I weren't already suspicious at this point........it said it's computer glitches and is being repaired try back in 2-3 days.....I got 3 of these all signed by dif. names saying they worked for the one person I signed up w/...........anyhow I thought 2-3 days is just long enough to get paid what a coinsidence........hmm they are going to take my money and erase the site and be gone!
I'm going to eat a ton of choc. now after a choc. high I might feel better, lol
And you wanna know whats the most stupid part.......after all this..part of me still wants to beleive it's true and that the untrusting part of me is coming out and it was all coinsidence and I could still have this opportunity.........I mean but ok this is the real world who makes $15 every 4 min?????? Well besides ppl like Donald Trump and singers actresses/actors and sports??????? Ahhhhh I could sooooo use Money like that. ? ↓

| Yea most of those work from home sites are scams, especially when they ask you to pay money to work for them. I am a SAHM and researched tons of the work at home jobs and most of them are only out to take your money. That's why I started my own online company to work for myself where I know I won't be scammed. My advise to you is just think of something that you enjoy doing and turn it into your own home business. You just don't know who to trust in cyber space. ↑ |

| i saw a site like that...i think they actually sent me an email. i thought it sounded like a good deal but i didn't have the $200 to send them even if i want to lol so i didn't do it...now i'm glad i didn't ! but like nicole said, we all get had from time to time. it's happened to me. a few months ago a paid a couple hundred bucks for a bow for my husband on a thing i thought was through ebay. it all turned out to be a scam. i also know what you mean by wishing it was true. even after we were sure that whole thing had been a scam for like 2 weeks after i still held onto that hope that the bow would arrive one day. never did though :o( ↑ |

Yesterday I was mad today I'm getting even!!!!!!!
I will do as Bmes suggested with their domain or whatever
I have red flagged them with ebay
filed a dispute with paypal and my bank
I will be sending out email alerts to all my friends and family and those will be passed on and so forth
I know it sounds weird but i am sending emails to GMA and The Early Show they always do stories on this crap maybe they will take intrest in this
I am contacting the BBB
I am pretty sure the number they are calling from saying they are green tea is not so so i will be calling the REAL green tea weight loss company nd alerting them someone is doing illegal activity using their name
And I will keep going
I was taught a lesson and I'm going to reciprecate and teach them one to.....I know they prob. dont even live in my country and are laughing in my face thinking I can't do a thing and maybe I cant legally but I can cut off they're money till they get a new scam..........GOOD LUCK SUCKERS! = ↑ |

| Name: chicksy | Date: Apr 30th, 2008 6:51 PM |
| Yup that site is defenitily a scam. I went to there site and when you go to close the page, an agent comes on trying to convince you to buy. I went on several times telling them that they were scammers but they still tried pursuading me to buy. Fight it to the end girl. ↑ |
