Scam #7: Make Money From Home!
The Come-On:
You get an e-mail offering you a job that sounds like an easy way to make a quick buck. All you have to do is cash a check, keep a percentage for yourself, and wire the rest back.
The Scam:
Like the Nigerian fraud, the funds you're getting are fake, even though they might look legit. A few days after you deposit the check and wire the rest back, the check will be discovered as phony and you'll have paid the scammers from your own pocket.
What You Can Do:
Don't be fooled by personal job offers. Many times, scammers find victims through online ads and try to threaten legal action if you don't comply. As always, if it's too good to be true, it probably is.

I love to fill out surveys, 2 weeks a go I got a survey about cell phones and cell phone companys. It is a usual survey, until the end of the survey, they want your cell phone number, your password, and your pin number to compare your bill to others that have taken this survery. I deleted this and blocked it from come to my mail box. It is a scam, and some people that fill out surverys might not think it is. It is survey.com Thanks
