Yes, I’m making up for lost time.

Posted on by

Summer vacation is insane for me.  The kids are home and require more attention than they would like.  Hubby takes time off and makes road trip plans.  Extended family and friends drop by unexpectedly, and other call repeatedly (you know who you are).

I’ve been any and everywhere it seems but here.  The kids’ return to school next week will be a big help – my day will be mine again!

I can’t speak for all telecommuting parents, but for me, having the kids nearby is both a blessing and curse.   I still wouldn’t change it.  Well, except to occasionally wish for year-round school schedules.

What about you – would you change anything about your telecommuting schedule?

It’s time for another cup of coffee.

IDS Solutions Inc. – money laundering scam

Posted on by

It’s the same old thing.  You receive an unsolicited email from an employer who spotted your resume on a job search site.  The message seems ok, but lacks details.  You think something may be off, but you’re not quite sure, so you return the the message and ask for details.  With help from Bobbear.co.uk, let me save you some time.

I received this email this morning from IDS Solutions Inc.  I knew that it was a scam right from the get go because –

1) the return address did not match the contact email.
2) this part time gig has a $2,300 monthly salary
3) The HR Manager, Rob Richie, includes EDS Inc. in his signature when the company is called IDS.

A quick Google search later led to Bobbear.co.uk’s report.  I cannot improve on this one, so here’s the link – http://www.bobbear.co.uk/ids-solutions-inc.html

As expected, another Russian money laundering scam from a repeat scammer.

When are they going to realize that we’re getting smarter every day and spreading the word about them?  It makes me wonder what good they could do if they put that energy to legal use.

Be safe!
