Would it be hard to find a civilian job, while in the Army Reserves?

We Answered:

You should have just went active duty - I've never heard of anyone moving for a part time position. You will make more at your full time job than the reserve.

Marjorie Said:

How do I get out of my lease?

We Answered:

you did not need to call them; your lease states whether you can or not. IF you are not permitted to, you may instead, sublet but
you remain the LL of the replacement tenant;

you are their LL till YOUR lease runs out; if you find such a person
you give them YOUR own lease you create and you collect rent, etc.
YOU do not volunteer that you have a SANDWICH TENANT
which is what this is called.

DO NOT VOLUNTEER to your LL that you are going to
create a sandwich tenancy with a new tenant.
you are welcome to call any RE atty to confirm what I have
told you!

on your last day of legal tenancy obligation, return for the
walk through.

Why do today's crock pots cook hotter then older ones?

We Answered:

My crock pot is over 25 years and just works fine. It's a Rival Slow Cooker/ Server, 160-250 Watts. You might want to check the wattage; and purchase one with lower watts...

Eileen Said:

I just applied for this job and was wondering if it sounded like scam?

We Answered:

I have not heard of this company.

Unless you are very good in selling vacuum cleaners, I think its a waste of your time. Most of the "appointments" are actually "cold contacts" and you have to do a "hard sell"

Have a nice day !

Bertha Said:

Do you think this is a scam?

We Answered:

100% scam.

There is no job.

There is only a scammer trying to steal your hard-earned money and maybe your freedom.

That is 2 scams in one.

1) Cash the fake check sent on a stolen UPS/FedEx billing account number and send your cash to the scammer via Western Union or moneygram. The only real life job here is you paying back the bank for all their money that you sent overseas.

2) Accept the packages of electronics, high end clothing and jewelry purchased with stolen credit cards. Then rebox it all and pay your own money to ship it to the scammer. When the credit card owners, shipping companies and websites discover the fraud you get the real life job of paying them all back. Then you to look forward to a visit from the local law enforcement agency asking why are you fencing stolen merchandise for a criminal you never met, have no idea their real life name or even in what country that scammer resides.

Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will not bother to check ID and will simply hand off your cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what store location or even in what country your money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever.

Now that you have responded to a scammer, you are on his 'potential sucker' list, he will try again to separate you from your cash. He will send you more emails from his other free email addresses using another of his fake names with all kinds of stories of great jobs, lottery winnings, millions in the bank and desperate, lonely, sexy singles. He will sell your email address to all his scamming buddies who will also send you dozens of fake emails all with the exact same goal, you sending them your cash via Western Union or moneygram.

Do you know how to check the header of a received email? If not, you could google for information. Being able to read the header to determine the geographic location an email originated from will help you weed out the most obvious scams and scammers. Then delete and block that scammer. Don't bother to tell him that you know he is a scammer, it isn't worth your effort. He has one job in life, convincing victims to send him their hard-earned cash.

Whenever suspicious or just plain curious, google everything, website addresses, names used, companies mentioned, phone numbers given, all email addresses, even sentences from the emails as you might be unpleasantly surprised at what you find already posted online. You can also post/ask here and every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find before taking a chance and losing money to a scammer.

6 "Rules to follow" to avoid most fake jobs:
1) Job asks you to use your personal bank account and/or open a new one.
2) Job asks you to print/mail/cash a check or money order.
3) Job asks you to use Western Union or moneygram in any capacity.
4) Job asks you to accept packages and re-ship them on to anyone.
5) Job asks you to pay visas, travel fees via Western Union or moneygram.
6) Job asks you to sign up for a credit reporting or identity verification site.

Avoiding all jobs that mention any of the above listed 'red flags' and you will miss nearly all fake jobs. Only scammers ask you to do any of the above. No. Exceptions. Ever. For any reason
