If you think about it, we are all scammed everyday in many small ways.  Mass media is all about scamming covering such broad and different fields as the Irak war, which really was a mass scam, and going on to a series of little things in consumer products.  They implant certain ideas or images in your mind and just let your mind and desires do the rest.  You can differentiate perhaps in scams that are legal or paralegal and others that are ilegal or even criminal, but they are all scams.

Please BEWARE...Do NOT cash any money orders for them!\n\nHere is a quote from a site I found talking about how a man was charged for changing money orders and getting others to cash them.  Here is a quote from the site that I am attaching the link for below:\n\nSuch an altering scam, which inspectors call "raising," works because the people who change the denominations are getting more sophisticated and have better printers and scanners, said Inspector Smith, a spokesman for the services' Fort Worth division. The scammers, who also counterfeit the orders entirely, sometimes collect the money by using people they encounter on the Internet or in "lonely hearts club" chat rooms, he said. They persuade a person to cash the orders at banks – where not all tellers recognize the telltale signs of fraud, such as discolorations, missing security watermarks and ink bleeds. "They are looking for people who are easily duped," he said, speaking generally and not about Mr. Emuagbonrie. \n\nI hope this info helps you and causes you to be extra cautious and even possibly pass the persons info who contacted you onto autorities.  It is VERY illegal.\n\n:-)

I have been scammed in the recent past, scam artists take a lot of time to think up their scams so it may take a lot of time to figure out and untangle their scam, so hang in there.\n\n1. Visit a "meta" search engine or google. \n2. Enter the email id of the scam artist "mystyle120op".   \n3. Research each result set, even if you do not see a match.  \n4. Think of any words or verbage used by the scam artist and keep researching. \n5. Report it to other agencies since others were most likely scammed too. \n6. Turn over your evidence to legitimate scam or fraud investigation agencies \n7. Hang in there until you get help or the scam artist will continue to scam others\n8. Praying helps!  Good luck.

Not lately, I think the scammers have moved on to the emails from "banks" where you need to log in to your web banking account to verify something....

I tried cashcrate. They loaded up my mailbox with more than 150 offers EVERYDAY. I'm sure some people got paid but I stopped using the site when that happened. They pay you by paypal for free but deduct money from you for a check.

Anyobdy who buy, sells, or sees a scam on ebay needs to contact ebay & paypal.  I foyu go to your my ebay page, there should be a link to their center for reporting scams.\n\nA quick tip: every spoof email from ebay I'm recieved is from[support,sales, etc.] "@eBay.com".  However, real ebay emails are from @ebay.com.  Real ebay doesn't use a capital "b" in it's sent bar.  However, this could always change, since scammers are becoming better.

I just got scammed today fro 891.00. After calling several times I realized this was a scam. Every time I called a different person answered the phone. I spoke to a Sara Walters, Elizabeth Jefferys, Adrien (he did't have a last name) and finally A Jim Jones. I asked him how dose he get away with what he is doing and he told me I was the stupid one for sending my money Western Union. So he addmited scamming me. He even went on to disguse his voice to act as if he was White and then Jamacan. He told me he was so good that he could act like he was from any race. Meaning he is one person imatating several. Then I spoke back to Sara (I guess she didn't know about the conversation I had just had) and she told me that my account had a "RED FLAG"  and she couldn't send me money unless I sent her another 585.00.  Can you believe she had the nerve to ask for more money.  I ended up calling the Canada police, they gave me a numver to a dept. called phone busters so I could give a report. I also found out that it is illegal for a Canaden company to ask for any money down before sending the loan. Unfortunally I found this information out too late!!!

I don't think so...they just scammed me into filling all that information and then when I got to the part where they were offering me "extra bonus offers", there was no other option to move on...like no option for a "finish" button or something...\nI usually don't fall for those scams, but I thought maybe for once they wouldn't lie. Oh well, maybe by a prayer it will come in the mail. lol ;)

No, they are not all scams.  My wife and I made a little money doing surveys for a while.  I'll email you with the information about the one we used.
