Ok thanks for replying to my ad this is what I need you to do and following directions is very important to me so please understand
Click on this link
(this is the website I will need you to write about)
REGISTER ON THE FIRST PAGE (scaaaaaaaam)
This is very important it only takes 30 seconds to do enter your name and email address
Once you have registered on the site take a look around the site at the different jewelry there is
Get an idea of a piece you think you can right a good article about, email me back with the piece of jewelry
you would like to write about and tell me why I should hire you for this job rather than someone else.
Now one of the main things I'm looking for is someone that knows how to follow directions, with that being said do exactly what I said in this email and you have a great chance to be working with me on lots of projects. (I bet. Following directions- drop pants, bend over. Check.)
Thank You
Jessica Smith

If your not interested in the job position don't apply, how can you say Im scamming you Im not asking nothing from you, I want the person that Im hiring to look at the website and the articles that have been written on the site so they know what is expected of them, I have gotten to many emails from people that have no clue how to write simple small descriptions of items, so If this is what it takes for people to understand what I am looking for then so be it, but honey I am far from a scammer. (She called me honey. Ooo.)
Thank you

You want people to register. Scam. You Don't want samples. Scam. You
do not speak or type as a professional client. Scam.
If you're going to pull a scam like this, at least hire someone to
write the emails convincingly. Clients do NOT ask anyone to register.
These have been going around for years--one of the side jobs I do is
uncover scammers. Whoever taught you to harvest emails or gain
sign-ups failed to mention that you need to sound professional at all
times, even when called out.
Do yourself a favor: hire someone to write your emails and Craigslist
ads. Have a stock reply that looks real.
And, professionals do not call anyone 'honey'.

Okay I will wait and see, just cause your a sorry ass no good writer don't get mad. You are the reason why I have people sign up to apply, because I am looking for serious workers this seems to be the only way to find people that are serious If no one else has a fucken problem with what Im doing then why the hell do you. (God, can't you just taste the righteous indignation of someone that hasn't ever even had an affiliate payout?)

So...people have to sign up for the site in order to apply to be a writer?
Registering makes someone a good writer?
Please explain this to me. After registering with the site- what
happens? Do they supply you with published samples or do you have them
write examples? Can you link to any examples they have written?
Refusal to register makes them scammers?
Enlighten me? Really, I would like to know so in the future I can spot
the real people offering legitimate jobs, as you claim you are.
To be Continued...
She wouldn't know punctuation from a hole in the ground. What a dipshit!
ReplyDeleteDid anyone else catch that the title of her initial ad posting on CL said that she was looking for "Writters"?
ReplyDeleteAlso, love the privacy-violating use of cc instead of bcc, but at least it got me to your website. Keep up the good work!
Wow
ReplyDeleteYou sound really immature.
I can understand why she is having people sign up on her site.
There are a lot of people just like you out there that are not serious and act like children.
She needs to weave the real out from the fake.
Get a life man, do you really have this much free time on your hands lol.
LOL! Love it! I clicked on the link yesterday, and of course it's now inactive. I find it interesting that the writer's gig suddenly turns into "Take this short survey" crap.
ReplyDeleteShauna, let me point out that writers have been duped, scammed, lied to, and stolen from so often that we no longer buy into this kind of "offer." Frankly, I had my doubts when I saw the ad that it was legit, but figured a short note in response wasn't going to waste too much of my time.
Look at "Jessica's" response above. That is NOT the response of a legitimate professional. That's someone with something to hide. A professional would not have answered the charge of "scam" in the first place.
Signing up for a site as a requirement of employment? You don't find that even remotely strange? I sure do. I find it equally odd that there were no requests for published samples or resumes.
Until you've been conned by one of these fools, you'll not understand why it's so unnerving to have this sort of "offer" dropped in your lap.
Shauna is a scammer, too. Follow his/her profile. I grabbed screenshots.
ReplyDeleteNot surprised by it, Mama Stick. I didn't want to call shauna out, but didn't you see the same grammatical errors and sentence problems as dear ol' Jessica exhibits? :)
ReplyDeleteYep, that's why I followed it.
ReplyDeleteWell...that and I have no life. ;-)
LOL! You have a better one that the scammer, don't you think? :)
