I've been searching online for work-at-home jobs. I'm getting married in 3 months and need some extra income. I saw a job on Craig's List that involved calling people who have cell phones and asking them questions about their service providers. I responded to the ad and quickly received an email saying that I had been hired. A few days later I received a check for $950 from a sponsor. I was told to cash the check and to buy a phone for $50. I bought the phone and then I was told to send the rest of the money via Western Union to a business that was going to send me an "all-in-one", printer, scanner, faxer, and copier machine. I sent the money via Western Union today. It wasn't until a few hours ago that I looked up this guy's information and found out he's been scamming other people as well. Now I'm just waiting for the check to bounce. I don't know what I'm going to do when this bounces because I'm only 17.
