That happened to a friend of mines Mom. The secret shopper sent her a check and when she deposited it somehow they got her account # and tried to wipe her account clean. The bank suspected fraud and put a stop to it thankfully. you cant trust those ads

Hey Clint, I just tried the letter myself...I figured "what the heck"? You mind if I ask how you are doin' so far?

Just wondering what your results were. Just received the same letter.

The people in this story are all racists. People just think that they can get something for nothing, like they held the black man in bondage for 260 years.

If anyone in this day and time falls for these scams than I have some ocean front property to sell them in New Mexico (cheap too, 10,000 acre on deep water w/ dock permit if interest reply back and I'll e-mail you).

I just received Dick Holliman letter yesterday. It is good that I check it out and come upon this post. The chain is still going on and on....How I wished that people checking things out first before involving in a scam and losing money.

Just got that letter. it sounds hocus pocus. why would anyone send money with out investigating? maybe they need some of their own medicine. Call Number, give afalse account number

Playing on peoples greed is what drives these scams.Somebody thinks they're going to get something for little to nothing.

[THINKABOUT IT]

IF EVERY ONE ON THESE SITES GAVE THERE ADDRESS TO EACH OTHER I THINK THERE WOULD BE A ENOUGH PEOPLE WHO DO IT HONESTLY WITH EACH OTHER WE CAN GET IT TO WORK FOR EVERYONE HERE- GET THE MONEY INVEST TO MAKE MORE MONEY SAVE THE MONEY GIVE BACK THE $6 TO THE OTHERS SO THEY CAN INVEST- ITS ONE LUMB SUM AT A TIME-THERE IS NO NEED FOR DATALINE anyone

Hello,

I have not wasted my time reading all the comments after the first couple of pages of judgments, so I apologize in advance to those who had more respectful, legitimate things to say.

For the rest of you. I think it is important to discuss the topic at hand - scams, and how to recognize them. Don't think you would so easily recognize a scam - if the situation lined up, you can easily be trapped. So please, spare us your snide comments, your personal anecdotes, and your irrelevant judgments about race or education (aka - grammar), because it doesn't really matter to the point of the article:

Think clearly about opportunity that comes to your life, take what you see on the internet with a grain of salt (make that a pound), and get second opinions or do research when something rolls around that seems to good to be true.

Please, be mature enough, and human enough, to realize when another person made a mistake and learn from them, not ridicule them. Its just depressing.

Advocate for yourselves to make sure you don't get trapped in the scams of pathetic people.

a cashiers check is as good as cash, just like a money order. something stinks here.

Well I can print up a "cashiers check" that many people would think is real-care to try, Just send $100 cash and I'll give you a "cashiers check" for $1000
