for my BP colleagues: OR is it fake !

[adel_ezz]

Hi
I received this from a friend in the USA. Yet i usually receive regular mail like this on a regular basis, but this time i have the feeling that it may be true.

The past ones either they tell me "earn from home" or that "I won a million dollar" and they need my bank account and i reply aggressively by a new and innovative 4 letters word or at least delete the mail.

Do you think this one is worth exploring. The reason is that we as having BP are better as freelancers rather than in a permanent job that is usually stressful. I was expelled from my last job and waiting for another interview. I tried translation since i master French too so I can translate vice versa in 3 languages but i was stuck with deadlines, so although good and rewarding, home based, but it's also stressful.

My question has anyone tried these Ad's. Here it is the following 2 lines like i received exactly:

Also, all the jobs I've gotten have required a resume. By 'up front' on the personal info, I mean before they've checked your work (ie, I write, so writing samples) and go over your resume. It normally takes a few days, and if it took less it would set off some red flags for me.

They'll always ask for all that info after that since they have to report your earnings to the US government, but it should only be after you apply/they accept you.

Think of it just like a face to face job. If you went in and filled out an app, it would be a while before you heard back. If they started asking for money to interview you or wanted your social security number, you'd run like heck. Do that with online jobs, too. Just evaluate if that would be reasonable in the 'real world', if it's not, don't fall for it.

I didn't click on the link, I'm always scared of those iffy looking sites (especially that come in emails).

I work from home.

I can tell you that *legitimate* companies don't usually send out spam/any sort of emails. I've dug up my work on job boards, through word of mouth or on forums where others were discussing their current jobs.

I have NEVER paid for a job, NEVER EVER do that. Not sure what the link says, because I won't click on it. But even a dollar makes it a scam. Period.

Anything that requires your SSN or personal info up front is iffy. I've found a few legit ones that do, but they were in the form of W-9 that I faxed, and they always offer the option of a TIN.

Hope that helps... sorry I can't see the link... but anything you get emailed to you has an automatic red mark in my book, and I wouldn't do it.

I dunno... I automatically distrust all those work at home things from the start.  I was thinking wow though, that woman lives near me if they didn't make her up.
