I will tell you a tale...

About an old woman that cried, "SCAMMERS!" There once was a woman that answered an ad. She saw it on genuinejobs.com, wherein the actual ad was from craigslist. She applied and got accepted to write articles for the job. She worked very hard, putting much of her time and energy into researching and writing the articles she was hired to write. She even turned a deaf ear to her kids and they became hermits for a week. She turned in all her articles on time with promises to pay that week for her hard work. Friday came and there was nothing in her paypal.... Saturday came and again nothing... She began to worry and her mind snapped, "Scammed! You got scammed you stupid woman." So she shoots off an email to employers who fire right back, "Monday for sure, but sooner if we can "find" the money." With those words haunting her and the old man nagging her to death about whether she got paid, she woke up Sunday and Monday with still not a gain. She firmed up her lips and "SCAMMED" bounced in her brain. She felt really terrible that she worked so hard and got taken in again. "At least I didn't pay them to work this job," she thought to herself. Yet the wasted time from the week past flashed before her and anger began to bubble in her heart. She would give them until the end of this Monday. From Saturday on, she heard not a word from those she worked for and hit seemed as if she would no more. Tuesday dawned cloudy and dreary, it matched her moon and she felt quite weary. She got up and fired up the plastic box, typed in paypal and login stuff. There in her paypal was not a penny. She heaved and heavy sigh and shot off another email this time loaded with strife. She accused them of scamming and not being nice. She told them it wasn't smart to advertise with no money to pay, for those that worked each and every day. She got more mad by the moment. She told them Karma would come back to them if the didn't do the honorable thing. She clicked send and shut off the computer, angry with herself for being so silly as to believe that an ad on the internet would be legit. She went back to bed until her family woke her up, got on the computer and checked her mailbox. Sure enough there was a reply and here is how stupid she was and I will tell you why.... There was a payment made to her just before she sent the message about being scammed and not wanting to work for those dishonest people again. She cried scammers and this is no lie... Now she is waiting to see if her job is on the line. Point and moral of the story, just because you don't get paid when you think you will, doesn't mean you won't get paid. Yes, there are plenty of scams, but if you sit there and shout it before you know for a fact, then you risk losing out on a deal of a lifetime. This is my story and now I await to see if I still get to write my articles or not. Paypal does have a delay. They are just but a website and not everything is instant as we would like it to be.
