Hi hi.  I have something advertised on freeads and I get a reply to say if they sent me a moneygram for 3k can I cash it and send them the balance via moneygram, do people fall for these?  Does anyone know if I can report them to their internet provider? I am p/ssed they do this!! Hope everyone else is good today.

ITs possible that the reciepient, cannot trace who send the money to them...coz you will give some reason to the counter...you just tell them that this is a gift or you dont want them to know who gave or send money to them....just gave them the number where they can contact you incase the money rejected.  Or you can gave some alias.

This is a scam, pure and simple.  There is no such lottery.  Never answer or reply to such e-mails, never give them any information.  If you want, you can forward the messages to abuse@<domain>, where <domain> is the return address listed in the message.  For instance, if it says to reply to dradobo@yahoo.com, forward the message, with the message headers, to abuse@yahoo.com.  They will investigate and usually close the account being used to receive the replies.\n\nThousands of people have lost thousands of dollars to these scams.  They tell you that you must pay all kinds of fees and taxes to collect your winnings, and when you finally wise-up and realize you are being scammed, they disappear with all your money.

Scam\nTrust me, nobody sends you money for no reason. Think about it, did you enter this lottery? No? Then it's a scam. How does it work, you ask? Does it really matter?

IGNORE SWEETY\n\nThis is a comment from a website he has linked to -\n\nThis work at home "opportunity" is an utter crock. Naturally the person spamming it doesn't give the details.\n\nYes, you get paid to post. How much? About 1/3rd of a penny per post. That's correct, post 300 messages and you might get as much as a dollar if they are "quality" messages.\n\nYou do the math.\n\nSo why is this goofball recommending it? Because he gets 20% of whatever you make. You slave away for 100 hours to make $10 and he gets $2. He he can talk 1000 people into wasting 100 hours of their life for $10/ea then he makes $2000. How does he con 1000 people into signing up? He spams 100's of messages a day on message boards.\n\nIt's a scam, complete and total scam. There is no actual payment schedule, they tell you they aren't under any obligation to pay you anything and most people never make more than $10 after wasting literally 100 hours or more.\n\nYou would have to be a curry eating lower caste street urchin from Calcutta to consider this to be a business opportunity.

DO NOT SEND MONEY!  You are most likely on the brink of being ripped off.  If this was ligit the person would/should prefer a money order (or check since there is plenty of time for it to clear).  Take the advice of a previous answer and pick a place when you can do a walk through.

yes it a scam.  You have to buy things to get them. Therefore it is not for free.

It's a SCAM, so use your SPAM blocker and/or REPORT SPAM feature.   \n\nToo good to be true is right.  They want to attach your account, and transfer your money into their off-shore accounts.   Even if only one out of ten thousand fall sucker to this, they still make a ton of money.   Keep in mind that clever spammers can send out well over 10,000 emails per day.  It is vital that we all use the REPORT SPAM feature with our Internet Service Provider, so others will not get that Blocked e-mail.   \n\nDon't tell me that you don't care about others, because YOUR bank's insurance company will end up paying in the end, ruining banking for everone including you. \n\nGood luck, be safe, and Happy Computing!

Hi,\n\nYes, I signed up with them too and followed thru with their instructions. On Wed 5/17 I opened up a NEW Chase acct with online access and on Thurs 5/18 added their Wells Fargo acct to be linked with mine. \n\nOn Friday, I got further instructions to activate this acct with the 2 deposits mentioned and to initiate a 10k transfer from their acct to my acct. I did this in the morning because this was supposed to be a SAME day transaction. I got the confirmation #'s and printed out all paperwork for my records. Friday evening, I decided to check the status of the transaction only to find out that my Chase online access was DEACTIVATED and was instructed to all Chase's regulation dept to speak with them.\n\nI have yet to speak with the Chase team to find out what needs to be done. I heard from another gal that said the same had happened to her but I haven't heard further word.\nI also emailed Dollartime on Friday evening, but so far have not heard anything. Tried calling too but all I get is a busy signal.\n\nI have filed an online complaint with www.fraud.org and they will forward the info submitted to the local authorities. These thugs need to be caught and proscecuted!\n\nAlso found out that Universal Escrow's identity WAS stolen and aka Dollartime was using their impressive list of business trade references to lure innocent folks (like us) into cashing BAD checks for them.

If it crosses the line of being compensated, or asking for business, it crosses the line of spamming.\n\nIf this is not policed, soon it will become an online Advertizing campaign, instead of a question and answer board.\n\nI do Real Estate and Loans.  I answer questions sometimes in those sections.  But I don't ask for business.  Many times I don't even say it's my profession.  \n\nWe all want to make money in life. But this forum is not the place to ask.  At least not advertently.

Sounds like a copyright violation to me, if not an outright scam.\n\nI would avoid sending them any money.  Any site with the word "yahoo" in the URL is going to get sued, much less this one which is an obvious try to get people to send money.\n\nWonder if there's a way to let PayPal know they're being scammed?

Can you be more specific?  I was just considering that offer and was wondering if I could really make money doing data entry online.  What do the directions tell you to do?  Which parts are you having trouble with?  Did they fail to hook you up with lots of companies that need data entry? Or was the data entry system complicated? \n\nIf they didn't live up to their claims, there are online places to report it so that no one else will get scammed.  Ripoffreport.com is one place I usually check before trying anything; but they don't have any reports on this company.

People really need to learn that there is no such thing as free money. . . . YOU MUST HAVE SOMTHING TO OFFER, IF YOU WANT SOMTHING IN RETURN!\n\nEbay is good\nMaking your own site is better\nbut either way, you must have somthing that people want. . . .

Here's the real question, why would the government call you offering free money. My guess is its a scam, bet they wanted your social security number too.

NO. NO. NO.\nThere's NO one of it. Believe me.\nYou will recieve many SCAMMING e-mail answering your question. You will lose your money much more than any information you will get. Internet is simply 99.99% SCAM.\nIf there is, many millions people just like you will go there and it's already well known by now. But you're still looking for it just like the other. It means: NO, THERE IS NO SITE LIKE THAT... EVER. BOTH GOVERNMENT OR PRIVATE.\nNever believe it.\n\nLook at this people answering you. They invite you to some special site or e-mail in secret. Why just don't answer here and help many people like you?\nIt's going to scam you. BEWARE !\n\nI've warned you for your good. Good luck anyway.

Are you asking whether or not the site is for real?  I'm suspicious of any site that offers money for nothing, no matter (or maybe because of) how much it insists it's not a scam.  It sounds like one of those sites where the owner gets the money and you get none.\n\nIf you're asking whether or not the idea could work, possibly.  If the site gets enough ad revenue from those trillion visits (and from selling email addresses to spammers, probably) it may be able to afford to give out cash prizes.  That's just a question of calculating how much each hit brings in vs. how much the cash and bandwidth/hosting payments are.
