Work from home job offers filling your email box are SCAMS…all of them! I scream, “S-C-A-M” but I can’t even get my own friends to hear me. It’s desperate people experiencing desperate times that call for desperate (and dangerous) measures.
Disclaimer: Okay, maybe not every work-from-home email solicitation is a scam. After 7 years of monitoring the “work-at-home” email solicitations, I’ve not found one to be legit and my friend Mark’s opportunity definitely was not legit.
I was 100% certain of that.
Mark Sweeterman emailed me what I thought was a joke.
Oops, Mark wasn’t smiling….
Oops, it was not a joke….
Mark really believed he had stumbled upon a money-making opportunity, and he was excited to share it with me.
Mark didn’t contact me to “put the sniff test” to the offer. He already had bought in…he simply wanted me to join him.
What the #%$^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude, THIS offer is a S-C-A-M!
Get the H-E-L-L away from these clowns.
Click Read More below to find out who the real bad guy is…and it’s not whom you think it is.
WILL THE REAL ‘BAD’ GUY PLEASE STAND UP?
Shouldn’t the ‘bad’ guy be the one (or ones) getting your hopes up with job offers paying you $225.00 or more per day…for working from home?
Shouldn’t he/she/they be the bad guys?
Mark didn’t think so.
I am the B-A-D guy!
ME!
How?
I burst Mark’s unrealistic bubble.
Mark had wrapped himself up so tightly in this SCAM that he saw the solution he desperately had wanted. I didn’t blame him for getting pissed at me.
I killed his “reality,” and that sucks!
C’mon, I understood. Mark wanted a job…he wanted money…and he wanted to work from home…and so do MILLIONS of people today.
…especially today!
The scammers know exactly what is going on today.
The scammers know MILLIONS need a job! MILLIONS don’t just want a job; they NEED a job.
The scammers know most people would love to work from home, adding to or replacing their income. The “pink slip paranoia” piercing the job market today affects everybody working for someone else. Ah, the thought of not having to work for boss who expects you to jump through hoops, kiss his butt, genuflect in front of him and/or perform with the ever-present pink slip waved over your head is too much to consider.
My brother and his wife have worked for the same company for years. Recently, the company announced it’s moving to Mexico, dropping 100s of jobs. My brother and his wife working on borrowed time, not knowing exactly when their paydays run out.
So what if you were a 20-year top-performing (& valued) employee, giving up your kids’ childhood to be there when the company called you. You were married to the company and the company …………
…F-I-R-E-D you….and without so much as a “Thank You.”
Who knows, maybe they fired you the way I was fired from my first sales position back in 2003. Ah, the memories.
There you have it…put an offer (doesn’t even have to be an irresistible offer) in front of people and watch them swim for the hook. That’s a scammer for you.
Mark knows computers. He owns many websites, and the “offer” sold him on how easily he could throw a line of code onto his web pages…all of his pages…and watch the money roll in to his bank account.
It sounded so real, with all the testimonials apparently from people who had been skeptical but took action & now have riches to prove it.
…or so the testimonials claim.
So how was I so damn convinced this was a scam?
And how did I burst Mark’s bubble?
A couple years ago, I (yep, your truly) fell for the same freakin’ scam…different name but same result. I too got scammed out of a hefty $2,495.00.
$Two THOUSAND, four hundred AND ninety-five freakin’ dollars!
It sucks just thinking about it!
This time around, they have a payment plan 
This time around, the scammers probably are making even more money than ever before, selling a pipe dream to desperate (but SMART) people who need to believe in dreams coming true.
…and the ability to pay the bills. Yeah, bill collectors do not take a holiday.
I hate it when I check my brain at the door and proceed to fall for yet another scam. I should know better, shouldn’t I?
Of course, I never tried to destroy Mark’s dreams, and I do understand what it’s like to want to believe something is true and legit. Mark is a friend. Hmm, I think I might have just the RIGHT work-from-home offer for Mark…and it’s definitely not a scam.
What “work-from-home” experiences (good or bad) do you have? If you have a friend or family member who gotten taken to the “cleaners,” share below. Already, I’ve made it clear I’m a member of the “scammed” club.
Work from home SCAMS should force all of us to think back to the age-old adage our grandparents taught us: “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!”
