Hi everyone! I've had only three days to work online this week and one of those days I spent in travel so it was still impossible. I know, poor, pitiful me. At any rate I never stopped thinking about this blog because I have run into this great resource to help us all stay safe online and gives ideas how to make more money online. It's called Young Work At Home Moms. I ran into it while doing the scam search for ad placers network.
Don't let the name fool you! Although the owner of the website is a young working mom and she designed a web site to attract young working moms the contributors to the web site are not all young working moms. I am one of those contributors now and I'm 54 with grown children. Not only do we discuss scams we discuss how we make our online income. There are no secrets and will spell out our different ways to make money. While some won't waist their time with Clixsense I find it a great place to go when I get writers block. I go in there at least twice a day when I want another cup of coffee. At any rate in this site you won't find anything to spend money on. It's just everyone sharing their online experience with everyone else. Check it out!
Safe surfing is a science. Surf your opportunities safely. Become recession proof. Learn strategy. Don't spend anything. If you do, know what you're getting into! Learn all this right here in this blog.

Craigslist Scam
Craigslist scams are getting better and more frequent. One of the latest is applied to sellers of expensive items. If you sell or have sold anything on Craigslist you probably already have seen this in action! In a matter of minutes or a day you get an email saying they want to buy what you are selling, sight unseen. They usually tell you they will pay you through paypal because they are: Out to sea, in another country temporarily, or any excuse why they can't do this themselves. They tell you they have an anonymous shipper who will arrange pick up with you. If you fall for it the "shipper" picks up your item and you let them because you see the money in your paypal account. The buyer files a dispute with paypal. Paypal has no choice to send the money back to "the buyer". They have no proof the item was ever picked up.
This scam must work for them enough to justify all the work they put into it. It's so prolific people are talking about it in the paypal forum. I for one would love to run a bust on them and submit that idea to one of the major networks. Hmmm.
Craigslist doesn't care, take responsibility enough to create even a scam warning forum or even let you warn others. Do your business face to face, never use pay pal and stay alert to anything that is "odd".
