Dont Pay for Work Dont Get ScammedDont Pay For work And Don't Get Conned or ScammedI am going to make it my personal mission to reveal as many scams as I find over this coming year. I hope to prevent as many people as I can from being scammed by ruthless con artists. Dont Pay for work! There are many, many people who have been made redundant and have been, or are looking for work. But the ripple effect of the recession has made it even harder to get work if you are of a certain age and of a certain sex. There are also many people who like me prefer to work from home and on this front I want to encourage the old, the young, the brainy and not so academically minded people to share their knowledge and experiences with the world. Personal knowledge and experience is priceless, whether you are a mom of five kids, a dad with a mission for kids, a teacher, an artist, bricklayer, carpenter or graffiti artist! Share your knowledge via the internet and get paid an honest dollar/pound/euro or whatever other currency for it. Create your own Web Site and share your knowledge! SBI will build it with a little help from you, e.g. your knowledge written in your own words. That is all you have to do, share knowledge! Click on The SBI Banners and find out how you can be the owner and seller of your knowledge, from baking cakes to building chicken coops! SBI does all the hard work! You supply the content and your saleable ideas!
Please note that all comments in Red or normal black are mine and are not part of any the scams portrayed on this Dont Pay page. Adverts placed on this page by me are real. They are Posted and commented on in normal and Red Lettering & are not part of any scams. These are SBI, Lime Exchange Global Market, & E Cigarette Direct. Click on Work Projects below for up to the hour information on jobs and vacancies! Employers can also post their vacancies on Lime Exchange! Dont Pay For Work: The reasons why some people are struggling to get work at the moment are many. The current economic climate, age and gender are just a few of these reasons. Every company has it's own work ethics and policies and many do not want to spend money on educating people into new work environments when they are deemed to only have a short 'working life' left! The fact is that these older people are the very same ones who have a wealth of knowledge about the businesses they are in and also have many years left to give to employers and their junior trainees. Some companys it seems, prefer to employ on looks and youthful enthusiasm, more commonly known as 'Go Getters'. It matters not that the job advertised is for a behind the scenes administrater! Or even that some reckless go getter types played a part in the crash of the housing market. As an outsider watching, and being by proxy in the thick of the desperate rush to buy houses that were over-priced by people with very little capital, and in some cases none to speak of, I was appalled at how buyers were shown how to lie on their forms about their earnings in order to get a loan! Never-the-less that is history now and we are in an altered phase in the job market, (Still Dont Pay for work!) and we are left with a lot of people desperate for work that is simply not there. This is where the con-artists make their money. There are literally tons of advertisements set up to relieve the uninitiated of every last spare dime, dollar, euro, or pound. Due to my situation of becoming jobless I have investigated a whole lot of jobs and in particular jobs that can be done from home. So I want to share my experience of being conned and not being conned with all of you as I do not want to see another person waste their precious money on jobs that do not exist. The job featured below is an on-going scheme to rob people who think that they are going to get real work if they pay an 'Administration' fee of "just" £10.00! This is SCAM No.1 Dont Pay for work. Make Your Knowledge Sell! Don't get conned, Dont Pay for work! Go to Scam No.1 Revealed All you need to know about this scam!!!
SCAM No.2 Go to Scam No.2 Revealed Someone wants to give you money, for NOTHING!!! SCAM No.3 Go to Scam No.3 Revealed Someone wants your BANK ACCOUNT details!! Scam No.4 Go to Scam No.4 Revealed You Won The LOTTERY!! Scam No.5 Go to Scam No.5 Revealed Christian Scams Scam No.6 Go to Scam No.6 Revealed Heart String Scams HERE IS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!! Has Smoking been getting in your way at work and at play? Are you dying for a ciggie but can't have one due to the current laws? And when you do manage to sneak off for one, are you spraying airfreshner or perfume on your clothes. Guess what my ciggie smoking buddys they can still smell it!! I know because I used to do the same. I LOVE this product and have to share it, an electronic, nicotine vapor, emitting cigarette, no more smelly smoke, but all the enjoyment of smoking. Ticks every box, including the nicotine one but without the paper, smoke, tobacco and fire. I smoked up to 30 cigarettes a day from the age of 15, many moons ago! I have used this product from E Cigarette Direct for nearly a year now and am totally satisfied. No cravings! Not even from day 1 of using this alternate device! It delivers nicotine as fast as a cigarette, in a much cleaner fashion. And no more ducking and diving from the boss!! Plus it is much cheaper than regular cigarettes. All major credit cards accepted via E Cigarette Direct and Paypal which is the safest way to pay over the internet.
The easiest and safest way to pay for anything over the internet is still PayPal!
Don't Pay For Work All the comments in normal black and or red inbetween the Bold wording of the job offers and scams are mine. This page has been created as a heads up for those who are willing to try anything to get a job. Please Beware of con artists who are using the ailing job market as a tool to hustle people for the little cash they have left. First of all Dont Pay for Work. Also don't feel bad if you already have and found that there was no real job in the first place. Dont Pay for work, if it is legitimate you will not be asked to pay for administration fees. This Scam is advertised as a work from home job that requires: "Home Based Typist/Data Entry Clerks Positions Available". On applying for the above job, you will be presented with a professional looking info field into which you are requested to type in your qualifications, i.e. why you are a good candidate for this job, can you type, enter data etc. Once you have submitted your application you will be sent a response that is one of a couple of templates they hand out once you have paid them their "Administration Fee". This is a template response that you will get back. Hi, You seem like an excellent candidate for this position, and I hope that I hear from you again so I can get you started right away! A Data Entry Processor/Home Typist position requires that you have a reliable computer with constant Internet access and capabilities, a valid E-mail account, basic Internet knowledge, and minimal typing skills. You must also be able to conduct yourself in a professional manner. This includes having excellent grammar and spelling when communicating with clients via E-mail.

This fee will not be waived for anyone, and cannot be deducted from your first pay. This is because if you do not process applications, you will not have a first pay, and we will have already taken the time to set you up, and train you. (PS there is no training involved, only instructions and several templates that can be copied and pasted in order for you to do exactly what they have done to get your money!!

Dont Pay for Work and Dont pay for so called gifts:

This is just the beginning of a long and involved scheme to remove as much money as they can from your bank account, with your blessings of course! They will come up with various reasons for payments they need before they can put all this cash into your account. Some people have in fact lost thousands trying to get the money they supposedly won.

Christian Scams These ones really make me mad. Some innocent soul is going to believe that no-one would ever use the Lords name in vain like this but you better believe it, because here it is. The minute you get in contact you will be overloaded with more heart breaking stories about how they need to borrow a bit of money until you pick up the funds or that they need your bank account details. Be sure that you will pay and they will be gone because they were never there in the first plac, not really! They will remain annonymous and you will be played like a 12 string guitar. Don't pay for anything not even for so called christians, that you don't know. Dear Beloved in Christ, It is by the grace of God that I received Christ, having known the truth,I had no choice than to do what is lawful and right in the sight of God for eternal life and in the sight of man for witness of God & his mercies and glory upon my life. I am Mrs.Sheila Johnson the wife of Mr Harold Johnson, my husband worked with the Chevron/Texaco in Kenya for twenty years before he died in the year 2007. We were married for ten years without a child. My Husband died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$3.5M. (Three Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S.Dollars), with a Bank in Europe.Presently,this money is still with the Bank and the management just wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to sign for the release of this money or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf if I can not come over. Presently, I'm in a hospital in Kenya where I have been undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer.I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few weeks to live. It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity organizations anywhere in the World.Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them. Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me Stand and collect the Funds from the Bank. I want a person that is God fearing that will use this money to fund churches,orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of my attorney who is in Europe as he will be the one to assist you in laying claims for this funds. Kindly send your reply to my private email address which is as follows: sheilajohn64@aol.com Your Sister in Christ,
Mrs.Sheila Johnson.
Heart String Scams There are loads of these types of scams that come out of Africa. They are not much different from the above Christian Scam as they blatantly go for the main artery to the heart. They are written for maximum emotional effect. Don't be fooled. Dont pay a cent if you go down this route as they will take you for everything, one way or another. The minute you are asked for bank account details or a loan to cover them until 'you get your cut' you are being drawn into their scheme.
