Title : scam alert
Time : 2:30 am
Earworm: Work It~~Missy Elliot
Ok there I was innocently/naively looking for a job. I even looked at The Sun, and chanced upon a part time home typist job. now Im not even looking for big bucks to earn, just looking for something to fill my time up, so i emailed hk99@pd.jaring.my and got this identical email as seen in this site http://www.flimflam.com/MLM.htm Sounds too good to be true, and got my spidey sense tingling, to borrow a phrase from the webslinger, so checked on the Internet and found this forum http://www.usj.com.my/bulletin/upload/showthread.php?t=10093
"I am victim of this scam. u have to pay RM380 (USD100) and he promises to give some training and materials to start the job but its a whole big scam. The email database he provides is not valid. Every email you send to the addresses listed in the database is returned invalid.
He will not entertain you on the phone, especially if you ask about money or payment. He will say he can't hear you but he could hear you very well when you introduce yourself earlier in the call.
Bottomline is DO NOT JOIN THIS SCAM. You will lose the money. I lost it, so I want to warn others who might get taken in by his convincing email.
I am quite angry at this piece of **** called Dr LIM HENG KIAP as he cheated me out of RM380. Anyway, its a lesson learnt.
So whatever you do, PLEASE STAY AWAY From DR LIM HENG KIAP. He is a fraud and cheat."
yep, US$100 deposit involved. felt a bit stupid for actually emailing the spin doctor in the first place.(two weeks ago) like all the other ads in The Sun aren't a bit dubious..eg: easyincome2u.com, earn $1000/week, get rich quick schemes
But now he's advertising in The Star! which to me seem a bit more credible but I guess they don't really check since the advertising money's there. anyhow, watch out for this scam.
