    Consider this as a job interview, you failed in the interview. if you were smart you could have ignored & brushed aside all these fake SMS & calls as this as happened several times before. imagine if you were seeking for any financial related job ?

    Mostly in these days of loosing jobs continuously ,noone has anything to gift to others.This woman must have seen only many zeros to earn ,but not day or month .One has to ask first what work and seriousness of this .conditions.Why did she give her account number ?Could have opened a new one for safety sake.Anyway looters wanted only her account Nr.Is like Negerian connection.First deposit some 100RS,for that sake account number is asked,so that later easy to clear account.why did this woman ask someone or findout the seriousness of this "temporary work"Sad but a lesson.We hear such fraudsters work every day .still there are people still never heard of this.sad.
