I just got some unexpected cash for mthis placet hat I totally blew off as a scam.
It is wonderful to be pleasantly surprised and completely wrong. It's not hundreds of dollars but pays for a few supplies that I thought I was goign to have to hold off on buying!
When were you last pleasantly surprised by something you thought was a scam?

I'll give it thought. Like I said...I am trying to build points for banner exposures so anything will help!

Its always great getting unexpected cash. I have not had such experience, but my girlfriend told me earlier today she got a call from a company saying they had some money for her, and she thought it was a scam. It turned out it was not a scam, and she did receive the money.

Never. I am too wary about participating in anything I feel may be a scam. I have been guilty of deleting legitimate items because I was too cautious.

This situation wasn't a scam but it was a risk. I live in a remote village and I'm having a problem with my drains. I sent away for a product to help clear the problem. I spoke at length to the young lady on the phone and explained my problem and she said I need to buy 40litres for $200. That was a bit of a shock but I paid, the stuff arrived and I used it dilligently for 3 months ringing them a couple of times to report progress. The bottom line is I still had the problem and they refunded $150.00.
I was so surprised because I used all the product...the fault is with my drainage not their product.

Actually, mylot was the last time this happened to me! I really wanted a way to make a little extra money, but I also wanted something that would be fun to do. I thought "Surely they're not really going to pay me for talking on a forum" and boy was I surprised!
Could you message me the link for the new thing you're doing please? I'd really appreciate it!
