I answered internet classified ad regarding information working from home (see below - exhibit#1). Once I responded, I was emailed back with information that I would be processing applications, etc, (excerpt included below also - exhibit#2). Although it was only $11, it became about principle. I emailed her right away after she sent the bogus information and she only responded that it was done to her, too and there was nothing i could do to recover the money she cheated me out of. I will gladly provide copy of the emails she sent to me saying this.
I do not want her or others to continue to scam people this way. It's unfortunate that she did it KNOWING it was a scam. I've reported her everywhere I know to.
