PRESS RELEASE: ABOUT THE BEST WORK FROM HOME PROSPECT AND WHY: Press Release From Google News about the site link below

Hey, you have a great blog here! I'm definitely going to bookmark you!

I have a work from home site. It pretty much covers work from home opportunities.

Come and check it out if you get time :-)

1) This was left as a comment to an article I just wrote. elapsed time ? perhaps 30 min from when I wrote it to when the comment apeared.

2) Aside from a nebulous "your site is great" there's no sign that anyone actually read the blog. Looks like some kind of automated posting mechanism.

3) It's advertising a work from home scam, one of the most ancient and venerated of rip off scams in the world, actually predating the internet itself.


What do you want to bet someone set up an automated program to search through all blogs and plant this on any new entries ? The creativity of spammers just never stops !

Of course the problem with spamming a blog is that I get to write about it ! Anyone reading the spam also reads my comments on what kind of scuzz ball you are.

OH , the work at home scam ?
You have to buy materials from them only , to build some gew gaw or another. And no matter how careful you are about building the thingy , your "quality of workmanship" is never considered good enough , so they never buy back the articles you produce, and you are stuck with a bunch of junk you bought from them until you give it up and walk away.
