Nah this thing talks about R150 - R300 per "thing" you complete. :confused: I am normally very suspicious of any such thing, what bothers me is what they are saying in the email I got actually makes sense, logically.

Someone in the office tried responding to one of those. Pay R150 for the teaching guide etc. It turned out was that the teaching guide tells you to do the same thing that happened to you. Place adverts and people must send you R150 and you then send the "training material"

But surely there must be legit things out there.

As long as it isn't asking for some kind of upfront payment, but yeah I generally won't go near work from home jobs - they screw you some way or the other.

.....and what Cz said.
 
Perhaps it's because we've seen so many thefts here at Giz that are worthy of being turned into films, that everything else pales into insignificance. On second thought—nah, this cellphone thief really is that dumb.

Picture the scene: it's a Walmart in Nampa, Idaho, and a nameless victim—let's call him Fred—has just bought a new smartphone. Busy downloading apps before he barely has time to take the plastic wrapping off the phone, he doesn't see Brian Westerfield approaching. But he does notice when Westerfield steals his smartphone right from under his nose, Seesmic app probably still downloading.

Fred does what any normal app-denied person would do, and calls the cops. What follows is a remarkably simple sting, where the police phoned the thief (handily, they knew his number thanks to Fred), and posed as a potential buyer. Now, what I'd like to know is what Westerfield thought when someone called him on his recently-stolen phone, trying to buy it. Didn't it occur to him that the only person who'd know that number—and that the phone was stolen—is most likely the owner?

According to Sergeant Mike Wagoner, they "dickered over the price for the phone and so when the suspect did show up the police obviously were there to meet him."

Adding insult to Westerfield's injury, when they moved forward to arrest him, he attempted to run off but tripped and faceplanted right there and then. He's now facing five years of prison, if convicted. And our boy Fred is back, busy filling up his phone's memory with apps like a true soldier

That would explain the slew of different email addys I noticed while researching it.

Lol.

Guess the age old rule of thumb applies. "If it sounds to good to be true, it normally is."
