Anyone doing this? Tried to find it as a scam and can’t.
I thought it would be something for me to do since I am no longer working in RT.

Has scam written all over it 20ft high neon letters to me…
I honestly can’t even figure out what he’s claiming to be doing, or why anybody would pay him to do it.
:eek:Oh,** SHIT**:eek:
Thanks, Y’all
B~
So I just cancelled it, and will contact my bank .
Whew
I oughta know better, huh?:smack:
Sorry. Do I lose any Doper privies?

Ha, clicking on the links shows that it is ran by Joel Comm. Googling his name shows that he makes the “iFart Mobile” iPhone application which was the first fart application for the iPhone platform (and boy, it’s about gosh-darn time, huh?).
It’s other claim to fame -as if that weren’t enough to be proud of- is that Joel Comm is the first iPhone developer to take another developer to court by suing the makers of the “Pull My Finger” application.
:o Well, I have to tell ya, that when I opened his web page and he came out and started talking, I thought to myself, “Holy SHIT! That’s that Trudeau SOB, Bill!” 
They DO kinda favor… in more ways than one, right, Fubaya?
Friggin’ snake-oilers, I swear!!!:mad:
Q
I wouldn’t bet on joining the advisory board anytime soon.
My buddy who works for Google was just explaining this scam to me last night. He knows about it because his position at Google is sort of an “Internet Janitor” so he sees so much of the crap that’s out there. Unfortunately he can’t do anything about it because the ads promoting these schemes aren’t breaking any Google rules (as in they’re not keyword stuffing, spreading viruses or doing weird linking)…but Google is NOT happy because all of these scammers are using the Google name in the ads, so it makes people think it’s somehow associated.
Anyway he says the crux of the scam is that you give up your bank account info, they send you some crap instructions on how to do some sort of cross linking that doesn’t even work, and in a few weeks or months they do an auto-draw on your account for $200. Apparently those sorts of transactions are much harder to reverse than credit card transactions. Even if you manage to cancel shortly thereafter, if they get $200 (or $77.84) from a lot of people just once - well it adds up for the scammers.
If you get any more bright ideas like this in the future, Quasi - check with us first
You just can’t make this stuff up.
Y’all are** so **good to me, Zip. During this time of so much uncertainty, it’s nice to know I can come here and talk and ask, and if you were right here, you’d tell me keep hangin’ in, and that’s what I’m trying to do.
Thanks again, everyone.

Are there any legitimate and reasonably lucrative work at home jobs?
Generally no there are not. You need to treat any such claims with great scepticism. However…
Today is your lucky day! Because I am Different! This is NOT a Scam!
If you send me only this month my new special low price of $99.99 I will Let you “In” on the True Straight Dope on how to Make Your Fortune working a few minutes a week from home! Contact me Today!
I had one, once.
But I had to work in corporate office for 5 years and receive three promotions first.
Edit: I also wouldn’t recommend it, as watching the Flintstones doing bongs at 11am wasn’t really in my job description.
Here’s a quick tip for you.
If you’re unemployed and are reasonably smart and reasonably computer savvy, you can seriously make $10-$15/hour doing temporary work (data entry, phone work, basic secretary stuff), in a large city like Dallas.
However, you might only work 2-3 days a week, until you find something “steady” which might last a few months, or more and lead to a real offer.
I’m talking about wear a tie, show up at 8, do what you’re told, and punch keys on a keyboard, until your agency gives more responsibility.
Look up temporary agencies in the yellow pages, then focus on office work.
A… tie???:eek:
8 am???:eek:
Do what I’m told???:eek:
A LARGE city like Dallas?:eek:
Aw, I’m just kidding with ya’ Eleusis!
Right now I’ve got a ton of Alzheimer’s testing yet to do, gotta try some new meds, and I have enough savings to “do me” till my SSDI starts.
I just need something to do to keep my mind sharp and make a little money for my favorite charities! www.alz.org and the humane society. Just didn’t wanna have to pay someone to pay me if ya know what I mean? 
But thank you! I know how you meant that, and it was very nice of you to write.

If it makes you feel better, Quasi, I got taken in by one of these myself many years ago (pre-Internet). Sent off for something that promised hundreds of pounds a month by working from home. Sent for their free “information pack” which contained virtually no information except to say I had to send £20 for the full details. Like a fool, I did, only to be told the way to make the money was to post hundreds of ads similar to the original one I replied to, and wait for the money to roll in! So, essentially a pyramid scheme that I had just joined at the bottom. I was disgusted and didn’t take it further.
One of the good things about the Internet is while it has significantly increased (by several orders of magnitude) the numbers of these scams, it has also greatly enhanced awareness of them, making people much less likely to be caught out overall, I think.
What about online proof-reading? Can you make money doing that?
