Jobs you don't want

This is mostly for the benefit of my “unaffiliated” friends, for the esoteric, this is an obvious one. Beware of the three hour job that pays $5K a month. Em…., it is not real. This has been out there for a while now, along with the lottery I won in England and the $5,000,000.00 Toyota was giving away in Hong Kong but if  I am still getting these, that means it is still working for the scammers  that send them out, hence the warning.   Even if nothing else, please pay heed to the language of the bogus offer, it’s all you need to tip you off.

And while we are on this topic, there are no Nigerian princes with millions of dollars to stash or crude oil procurement leases to sell and please in the name of God do not cash any over paid checks which requests you wire the difference.
