  • Hi, Was the link in the opening pages? If so it should be removed if its leading to scams

    I know, this is why Im trying hard to find it..

    No it was in a single post..
  • Ive trawled through the whole of the thread, and I cant find it...

    It was a recomendation post, with the words "link" or "here"... when you clicked it, it took you to a webpage that you signed up for MS'ing....

    I wonder if they delete the post as soon as someone and dull as me signs up to it... :mad::mad::mad:
    Im usually sooooooo careful... and probably if Nigeria wasnt named in the email Ive had today, I would have carried on with it... To be truthful, I was quite excited about doing it :(:(

    It doesn't come up on this thread so it might already have been caught as a scam

    Sorry Linkypie, this is quite right - too early in the morning for me! But my version is what should happen! I don't see why they can't send an automatic email when the links go live, like Ted and Karen at React seem to have managed it :rotfl: Although I've just noticed on the 'Visit Brief' blurb that it does say approximately when the reporting link should become available. Unfortunately, after this it is just a case of checking your TNS page every other day or so, or checking your email at least once a day (which is not a problem for me! :D) to see if the reminder email has been sent.

    They used to, you used to get the ID & password for a job in an email and then went to the website and accepted it, then they put the ID & password on the job details on the web and it was mystic meg time.
  • desparate help needed....

    Ive never tried MS'ing before.. I signed up, got an email a few hours later...

    Does this sound genuine to you lot...

    A sum will be debited into my account and Im to go into a local travel agent to see how they manage Western Union transactions...

    Im to keep x amount and the rest is to be inserted into an account in Nigeria???!!!!!!!!!!!! who is supposed to be another MS...

    This is a scam, is it not????
    Ive given my account details ready for the transaction, but when the details came through last night about where the money was to be sent to, alarm bells rang..
    I joined using one of the links on here
    Yes its a total scam. The cheque appears to have cleared, you send the money then it bounces. There's a big list on the first page, only choose companies from there :)
  • I already belong to GR, does anyone know any other that are legit and recruiting?

    Thanks

    Pam
    Look at the list on the first page

    Any idea how long after submitting an invoice I should expect to get paid by a) First tracking, b) OB services?

    I'm in end-of-month panic mode!
