Money scams are no exception. You are absolutely correct, and people need to be cautious and realize that if something seems too good to be true, it is.

The money would be better spent trying to find an honest job with benefits, if possible. Too, since working at home is becoming so popular, spending the extra time at the library making an effort to learn more about how to market some of the skills you have would definitely be worth the investment. But, of course, that is why "scammers" are still doing their thing and getting richer. It is just too easy and there is a still a market for them to prey on. .-= Lillie´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.cesidebtsolutions.org/site/teen_credit_the_good_and_bad_that_you_need_to_know/" rel="nofollow">Teen Credit: The good and bad that you need to know.</a> =-.

I have also heard a lot about that Monavie Juice Scam.. Monavie began offering help to people, giving them products that offer to deliver certain degree of wellness.It's $40 a bottle with a bottle lasting only around one week. That means you can expect to pay around $175 a month for this juice. For many people, that's a significant car payment. For this kind of money, one would expect some sort of guarantee, perhaps a popular, publicly-traded, pharmaceutical company standing behind it. The company also doesn't publish how much of the acai berry is each bottle.There are lot of people commenting about MonaVie on the Internet. Nice post!

My mom is always asking me about these kinds of scams. The scary part is she references them as if they are opportunities. That's actually why this post was on my mind :/ @Justin,

He went to peoples houses and they thought they were working for their fiance from another country. Then Chris helps them find out they are being taken advantage of by a Nigerian. The one commonality shared between all of them was that they seemed to be in tough spots, thus easily taken advantage of. I think there was also a mother/son combo who would buy stuff like iPods with stolen credit cards and then return them to other stores for store credit. @Kyle C.,
