I've been doing my job for this blog for another week since my last post. This time I only ran into one bad job ad in all the categories I look through! I comb through customer service, once notorious for junk "opportunities" is cleaned up!. Then there are the part time and ETC, equally riddled with pointless job opportunities. Amazingly "gigs" never was too much of a waste of my time. Today only one popped up under part time. It contained a link which led me to a website guaranteeing that if I join their program I will be able to retire in 12 to 24 months! You and I both know this is not the reason people look for jobs. Even if it was true most people are looking for a 9-5, go to work in the morning and come home at night. Even running your own business from home takes a lot of work and passion. You will find yourself immersed in your company sometimes as late as 1 in the morning if not later! And when you can't sleep past 5am just might go on line right then. That one job I personally flagged. So there is not much on the scam front to warn you about this week! As I continue to think why this has been a trend I can't help but want to believe people are wising up and reporting these bogus "opportunities".
I do know AIL (American Income Life Insurance) is still trying to recruit sales staff within the "customer service" portion.
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 caution for adplacers network scam review
Just the combination of craigslist and ad placers network is illegal. I've just learned the action ad placers network wants you to take is against the terms and conditions for craigslist! For those of you who just started researching ad placers network, they tell you they will pay you for running advertisements online for them. They don't pay people and some get $100 compensation for their trouble, not nearly the amount people are promised. They want you to to get a "Rush" card to get paid. What makes me think they own that too? Any other electronic pay system would not appreciate this illegal activity.
What makes it illegal is craigslist terms and conditions. You, as a craigslist member are not to post ads with them, online for payment for simply doing so! They can never get caught for wrong doing because the risk is all on the members of craigslist who perform this activity.
This reminds me of the scams run on those who advertise on craigslist. They offer to buy some expensive item immediately, sight unseen. They tell you they will pay you through paypal immediately and have a third party shipper arrange the pick up. They hope you will withdraw the money immediately so they can file a dispute that the item was never received. Any way you look at it, if you enter into the transaction they win.
When this was tried on me the first time, I became suspicious because no one buys a used fishing boat sight unseen! The biggest thing that made me mad was the time I spent researching this suspicious activity.
Ad placers network is just another wart on the online scene.
