No, Cynthia, I will not help you

Have I told you lately how much I despise scammers?  I especially dislike those who claim to have an illness, ill child, or military affiliation.  Our men and women in uniform have it hard enough without having to clear their names if a scammer steals their info.

Her ‘business proposal’ likely involves moving a large sum of money via wire transfer.  Avoid and spread the word.  Don’t let anyone who care for fall for it.

Be well.

 

 

Devin, try again! Another day, another scam.

So much, spam, so little time.  Let me know if you haven’t seen this one before.  It’s a new contact person with the same old ‘we hope your greed or desperation makes you contact us’ kind of thing.

Fraudulent job invitation from General Transnational Shipper

One of the more time-consuming activities of a job hunt is research into every lead or invitation for an interview.  I see it as time well-spent, especially when the potential employer is actually a scam artist.  Any job offer or invitation from General Transnational Shipper is a scam.

No good ever come from accepting a job offer like this.  You will receive stolen merchandise from a stranger to ship to another stranger.  J.P Morgan Chase just reported a major security breach and some of the merchandise you’d ship may be purchased with this stolen cash.  It’s not worth the potential mail fraud and receipt of stolen merchandise charges you could face if you went for the easy money.

Be safe and smart.

Oy

It’s been a while, eh? Holiday season, last few weeks of school, pain, and projects are harshing my mellow. But no fear, I’m getting things back under control and will be back with you regularly starting now.

How is your schedule so far?
