Should I be worried about having my identity stolen?
This is the first time I’ve been able to sit down and relax since 8:00 this morning.
Who wants to hear about my day?
Okay, so a few days ago, I posted an ad on Craigslist selling my portable DVD player and 3 Disney DVD’s. A woman named “Judith” replied. She said that she was interested, and that she would pay me $100.00 + the cost of express mail international shipping. Everything looked legit. Then I got an email from Paypal stating that I’d just recieved an instant payment from her. It stated that I had to ship the items, and then email proof of shipping, and that then my paypal acount would be credited. So, this morning, I went down to the post office, packaged up the item, paid the $47 in shipping, and emailed the tracking number.
THEN I started reading things on the internet, and realized that I was being scammed. I was freaking out, because my boyfriend warned me of this, but I shurgged it off, and said it was okay because I got an email from paypal. I went and looked at the email from “paypal” again, and saw that the email address that it was sent from (small, in bracketts) was not paypal. It was something like shipping.proof@consultant.com or something like that. So, I sent the emai to Paypal, and they emailed me back and said that it was a phishing email. Right away, I called my Mom. She said to call the post office, and then go pick up the package. That’s exactly what I did. I got the package back, and my money back, and I sent this so called “judith Pope” a nasty email. It shoud have been a red flag when she said she wanted it shipped to NIGERIA. For some reason it wasn’t. My parents also lended me $50 each so that I can buy healthy foods still.
I love my parents. I love Andree too, but I **** that he always has to be right, and most of the time is, so I think I’m going to keep my story for the day to myself. From now on, I only sell through ebay.
should i be worried about my identity being stolen? the only info they have is my first and last name, my address, and my email.
Can people track when an email has been forwarded?
Can people track when an email has been forwarded?
I’ve gotten emails that said, if you forward this a company will give you money or a reward etc. How can a company track if an email they sent out was forwarded? Is it all scam? Then why would someone bother wasting their time if they won’t even bennefit?
What’s the best survey site that gives good money?
Hi I live in an area where the economy is absolutely horrible and I’m planning on leaving to another state to start a new life. But in the mean time I will need some cash to help me get there. I hear these survey sites can help. I am doing send earnings but it’s not giving me enough money. Does anyone know of a really good survey site that they have heard of that pays fairly well? Help i need cash?
Email marketing service like aweber but pay-per-email rather than monthly fees?
Hi,
I’m looking to run small email campaigns - few subscribers, infrequent mail-outs. Because of the small scale I don’t want to pay aweber’s $20 per month minimum, but instead pay per email. Can anyone recommend a good service with 1) high delivery rates, and 2) open & click statistics?
