Like a few others, I fell for it! Got an email from a trusted friend with a link. I opened the link (first mistake) then read on. It was a great sales job even though I was still suspicious. I went for it as the ad said "money back at any time" and gave a phone number for the woman from the city where I live (how clever of them...) who had made millions. They also posted "as seen on CNN, " and other reputable networks. Then the scam moves you to calling for a mentor at a certain number... You are told you'll receive a call within 40 minutes and that never happens and the upshoot is they want another 200 for a domain name, etc. That's when I bailed out and notified my bank and called a number the scammers had given and demanded they put the initial 97.95 back into my account... Which they actually did. I am told by my friend whom the email with the link came from that her account had been hacked... So there it is. But now someone somewhere has some pretty good information on me. Shame on me for falling for it and SHAME on them for taking advantage of people needing and looking for work!
