Hi Those of you who know me know that I spend so much time, often until 3am, at the computer on my genealogy. Being on so many lists, I have, like most of you, been spammed hundreds of times about ways to make money at home while using a computer. I decided to check some of these out to write a "beware" list to post here for benefit of list members. I still plan to do this. The absolute worst one I found, in terms of the investment they require to participate, and also it seems the most frequent message, is Travel Dynamics. That name is not often identified in the message, but you soon find out when you place the call. Another call is set up where you are asked to invest from just over a thousand dollars to many thousands of dollars for the right to earn extra income. Wow! I make no claim that this company is fraudulent, it may be legally legitimate and those who can afford it may make money, I do not know. But I just thought that the total concept was ridiculous. During the past year I have checked out every such spam. I can tell you that most of them are spam scams. Out of all these I did find 3 that are very legitimate(including one that is owned by Federated Stores, ie Bloomingdales and Macy's etc, two former Dell Computer Executives and a former Chairman of CompUSA and Computer City), so much so that I have signed up myself, even though I had no intention of doing so when I started this investigation hobby. Last week I decided that I would let you know about the "legitimate" by sending out an email about each one to persons in my address book. I started doing this and it was very successful, but decided that way could be interpreted as spamming myself. I did receive three replies flaming me for spamming, indicating that my objective had been misunderstood, and rightly so, by the form that I had decided to communicate this message. Therefore, although sending to this list a "beware" list of spammers is appropriate, I am not sure that sending to this list a "recomendation" list, even if it is only 3 companies long, is appropriate. Therefore, those of you who would be interested in finding out about the three excellent and legitimate additional income opportunities, in my opinion, please contact me privately, not through the list, and I will send you the information. Thanks Stan
