So I found a job on yahoo.com.

The employer gave me a # after a couple of e-mails discussing the validity of his business. I wanted to make sure it wasn’t a scam or fraud since it was a work at home job over the internet that required access to the internet and a telephone.

His grammar wasn’t that great but, then again, my spelling wasn’t the best.

How do I use his DUNS # to verify that he is indeed a small business? Can DUNS #’s be exploited for scams? How else can I verify this employer isn’t a scammer? Like how can I make sure the payments for this work are legit? How do I make sure I get paid for a job like this? By the way, it’s a part time job. He says he lives in the UK and comes to the US every 5-6 months. His business does, and I quote, "organize[s] conference[s], seminars, trade shows with group of partners. [Censored for privacy] also engages in Marketing, Advertising, Consultancy and ForEx/Stock management."

Letters or words in brackets [] are edited by me to make it fit my wording. Is this legit? How can you tell?

When searching for a job, most sites warn you to stay away from work from home jobs and stuff like that. However, I do need a job and this part time job seems easy. He seems a bit more legit than a scammer at this point but I want to make sure 100% he’s for real and legit.

Sure is frustrating when they change things without even giving you a little notice. I especially hate the fact that it goes directly to the yahoo page even after you logged in but does not give you a link to your ‘My Yahoo" unless you open your mail or something. Very irritating.

person with poor gramar and spelling useing multiple names, has searched postaroo.com for expensive sale items. He claims to except the price and will immediately send a cashiers check or money order. He Now is claiming to have a lawyer conduct transactions. He frequently uses the word client, shipper (shipper will pick up merchandise at your home-you keep some money for your trouble) this person is all over yahoo uses fake names, but his M.O. is the same. Not very intelligent- but I’m sure some old folks etc. are getting duped. Spread the word. Uses names such as Rechardson,George, James. The quickest way to catch him is to ask him to phone you personally…HE WILL NOT. DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR NAME AND ADDRESSS. He also requests that you send him a bill of sale prior to phony purchase.

Fraud at Yahoo Answers?

I’ve wondered for some time how is it possible that some people at Yahoo Answers consistently get close to 50% of their answers chosen as best.

And I’ve wondered if it’s possible to register with Yahoo Answers under two different names and then vote for one’s own answers. Or perhaps ask questions under one name, answer them under the other name, and then choose one’s own answer as best.

I’ve noticed just now that the top answerer in the Family & Relationships category used to be someone with over 3300 best answers. Now this person’s name and answering record has vanished from the Family & Relationships category. And now some one else with some 2500 best unswers is officially the top answerer in this category.

I wonder if Yahoo moderators have discovered fraud and banned the previous top answerer?

It was by accident. I was sign into yahoo at the time but I could tell it was a fake because It shown I was not sign in. I did not enter in any info. I ran about 3 full system virus/malware/spyware scans and it came up only with tracking cookies. I had to re-vist the phishing site to get the url to report it to yahoo and to symantec.

Am I safe?

abuse@yahoo.com says it’s not from their server so they can’t tell. A person with very bad english at at&t customer service said nothing was sent and to discard it. Surely there is somewhere to send this so it can at least be acted upon? It’s very sophistacated, if not real.

I am an Adwords advertiser and recently I have been comparing my page views (how many times a visitors sees a page) to the number of clicks Google has been charging me. On November 25th, my Web site had 308 page views, but Google charged me for 705 clicks.

In any other business, that would be called fraud. Part of me wonders if Google is doing this to other Adword advertisers and that is how they are “jacking up” their revenues, thus increasing their stock price that hasn’t been seen since the “Dot.com” bubble burst in the late 1990’s.

My question is, has any one else experienced this problem and is there any legal action against Google I can take not only to help me but also other unsuspecting Adword advertisers maybe being taken advantage of without their knowledge?
MN-Mike

I am not even saying someone in Google is driving up my clicks, because there are more clicks than page views. If someone were hammering on my Adword link, they would reach the page and record a page view. What I am concerned about is that Google is over charging clicks without any audits. They might as well print their own money.
Thank you,
New Millenniu… Minds

The challenge is that Yahoo! Merchant Solution tracks the page view with a 90% accuracy. That leaves 370 clicks not counted for in the amount charged to me. If my competitor were clicking on my Adword ad, it would show as a page view. There is something deeper going on with Google, their revenues and their soaring stock price.

After visiting Chicago and Detroit in 2004, he wasn’t allowed back into this country in 2005, according to a prosecution filing in the Rezko case"… "The April 3, 2004, gathering for Auchi took place at Rezko’s mansion in Wilmette, with about 100 people attending, Levine testified."

What's so shabby about 260% APY?

What I really resent is when some know-it-all fundamentalist puts down a stock pick on the basis of his own shortsightedness. Some guy picked up on the fact that I used SWRG to illustrate my point and asked why anyone would own it. He thought the company wouldn’t survive. I don’t own it. The company no longer exists. I bought the stock 2 weeks ago and was bought out by the acquiring company at a 10% net profit, which annualizes to 260%. To me, 10% is chump change, but in only two weeks time, it’s still easy money.

In another example of the "experts" being wrong at least 90% of the time, BAISI rejected my online buy order for 100 ZNH, and I was told there was a fraud watch on this Chinese ADR, so I let them dissuade me. What a mistake! Only two weeks later it was up over 50%. Better late than never, I bought in yesterday and am ahead already. Why does anyone listen to these clowns?
What really irked me was to see his answer selected as the "best." Who picked it? He himself?

In an unrelated matter, who is the clueless Yahoo! scripter who uses onkeyup to impede filling in the textarea?!?!

Why Is Obama Chummy With Iraqi and PLO Criminals?

Obama is no longer in the clear. A witness contradicted what Obama said to federal investigators.
Lying to federal investigators is a felony. Many crooks have gone to jail for lying.

Identity theft……?

A friend of mine had her name used to open up a Yahoo account. Then the person who opened that account tried to ruin her character with a volunteer organization by sending rude emails with her name on them.

Yahoo has shut the account down, after a lot of work and her faxing her ID and stuff to them. They will not give her any information on WHO set up that account.

What action can she take? She works for this non-profit organization and this has brought her character into question……

Payroll fraud–what can I do about it?

I am 17 years old work for a restaurant called Frizzle’s. It is privately owned business local to Huntsville, AL. I have been there for 9 months now and like the work and the people decently. For the first few months I never really kept up with my money, but some people started complaining about being shorted money so I have been keeping very close track of it lately. I have noticed that I am missing approximately 4 hours or so on my last couple checks. I asked the managers about it and was told that due to a lot of employees taking a break on the clock, everyone is now being deducted 30 mins (allowed break time) out of every 4+ hour shift. Can they really, legally do this, or is that considered payroll fraud? I personally do not usually take a break when I work, and when I do I actually clock out. It’s not necessarily even the money issue that makes me mad, just the fact that I am flat out being screwed out of money for time that I put in money.
I am also pretty sure that the money that is deducted from our checks is not being reported on their tax records (although I have no proof of this). Since it is an individually owned business there is no corporate office or anyone I can complain to, so what I can do about the money that we are all being ripped off? I would rather avoid having to sue them, and I’m not interested in making thousands of dollars. I just want to be paid for the time I work. And I don’t want a bunch of lawyer and court fees just over a couple hundred dollars.

I am also requesting a copy of the record of all the hours I have worked since I have been there and a copy of every check stub (which from whata I read they legally have to give me if I request it and I KNOW they have it all on record somewhere).

Anyway I know this was long, but I appreciate any advice or information anyone can give me, especially like a civil lawyer or something. If you think you could help me out with a few questions long term please email me at penguinluvinman@yahoo.com
