You are asked to deposit checks from "customers" and then forward the money via Western Union to the Company in another Country (keeping a generous commission.) A few days later your bank informs you that the checks were not valid - of course the money you sent is not retrievable. As an added bonus, the bank might report you to the police for cashing the fake checks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051744883907551402.post-50716059719280838152009-12-30T22:16:02.437-05:002009-12-30T22:16:02.437-05:00The only job listings I can find for "writer,...The only job listings I can find for "writer," other than the term paper ones, involve posting fake product reviews and comments on websites.Satchelhttp://highcallingblogs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051744883907551402.post-12717802007653439252009-12-30T19:10:06.216-05:002009-12-30T19:10:06.216-05:00The least Craig's List could do for laid off r...The least Craig's List could do for laid off reporters and editors is provide them cushy jobs.Patrick K.
