Sorry to hear you have had this problem, but don't get discouraged. And don't get so "paranoid" that you
are afraid to even step out the front door.
It is kind of like learning to deal with the traffic in the streets, they are very dangerous, especially if one does not know
to take certain precautions, like only using the cross walks, and only when the light is green and says Walk,....but even then
you still need to look both ways, and make sure, obviously if there is a car or vehicle coming really fast, and it does not look like they will stop, one does not step out in front of them, until they really have stopped.
How will you know if the online job you're working with is fake or not legit?
First , do some searches, check the website that is offering the job. There are various methods to do that,
"mywot.com" is one, If there have been reports submitted, then caution is needed. Yes , sometimes the reports are not acurate, but often they are.
Use the search engines, check the name of the person is using, etc.
You don't give any details, on what happened, this might not be the place for that, maybe it is..... You should report
the incident, every where you can, for example at mywot.com, and any where else. Even though you were a victim, your reports
will help others avoid being "victimized" as well.
Yes , sadly the internet is very full of criminals, and abusive types of people, they are like the same idiots , and crazy people
in their cars, and don't care who they "run over", the don't stop when the light is red, even if someone is all ready in the cross
walk.
