Q: Too many lies here.Have you meet ?

Recently,strange things happened to me again and again:

1,An foreigner guy called me from Negeria that wanted me to be their agent in China.

2,The translation company asked me to click the link to creat free paypal.

3,Tonight an American agent asked me pay him money for transportation fees to take me to go overseas for interviews.

I am so doubted,I guess most are big liars.

Have you met these things?

Only in different forms.

1). Unscrupulous Nigerians have a bad reputation for internet and business scams, so you might want to doubt anything that comes from there.

2). You can create a free Paypal account on your own. Many times, scammers will give you a false link in order to collect your credit card and other personal information in order to steal your identity.

3). NEVER give anyone money for a proposed job. Jobs are supposed to give you money for work, not the other way around. If an organization or individual wants money to set you up for a proposed job, run! No legitimate company would ever ask you for funds. Remember...a job pays you, not you the job.

 

You seem to be having a tough time finding a good job. You may want to re-evaluate your skill set, and then determine what you love to do. If you enjoy something, and are passionate about it, the money will follow, and, it won't seem like work! Sometimes, a smaller city will offer better opportunities as a place to start or at mid-level positions, and coupled with the lower cost of living, the money you do earn will be stretched farther. 

 

So, all that to say, you may be looking in the wrong field of employment, and you might be looking in the wrong city. You obviously know your situation the best, but just some things to consider...

 

Best of fortune to you in your search. laugh

By the looks of things, i do not doubt that you will fall for one of these scams.  It might just be safe for you to disconnect your internet and stop answering your phone.  That would probably be the safest thing for you, but good luck because common sense isnt always common.

  That's the world we live in, sweetheart, nothing you can do about it but dodge the bullets. Or move to the west, where everything is made of chocolate ice-cream and candy bars, and fairies sing to you as you sleep. You sound like you've got the smarts enough to manage.

i LOL'd when Martian said she's "got the smarts enough to manage!!"  :)

  Well she's spotting the shit, right, Badtroll. Gotta give her that. She sounds innocent but at least she's asking. And Jihad, good buddy, i'm sorry about the chocolate sauce, those were fairies in my employ and i've told them time and time again to STOP making their nightly trips a saucy, fetish, freak-show. Darn, pesky sprites.

i have a second phone (very cheap phone) that i only give out for job related stuff because i noticed pretty quickly out here that even when i gave my number out to legitimate companies the amount of spam/unwanted phone calls i received skyrocketed. 

 

same applies for email, i have an email that only people i trust know. and i have an email for whenever i sign up to a website or service cause i know my amount of spam is bound to increase with that email after awhile.
