Everything makes sense in someone's mind

It's still there...Title says "Tamil Nadu Stay At Home Mom Makes $6,875/Month Working From Home". Also the first paragraph starts like "If you live in Tamil Nadu or another qualifying US State and you have been wanting to work from home..."

I think based on IP Address, it loads the state of the country dynamically. So i got Tamil nadu & you got Lazio...

Like I told Carlo, it's probably unable to figure out my location.

LOL, the fun thing is target audience for this is West Bengal also, apart from US. I am a resident of West Bengal and I wonder how this is possible. In West Bengal ( which is a state of India ) the currentcy is INR and they only talk about $. The person, who mooted this concept is not a person who is bengali ( resident of West Bengal are known as Bengali ). I wonder how "West Bengal" was associate with this !!! :omg: The Greatest SPAM forever to me.

Thanks, Arindam D Tewary

OMG, that looks a well thought approach for luring people. It shows the local area name [state name of the country I guess]. For me ( State: West Bengal, Country : India ), "West Bengal Stay At Home Mom .... ". :laugh:

Thanks, Arindam D Tewary

It is... I'm in New York, but when I click the link, it shows a city on the other side of the country, "coincidentally" the location of my firm's headquarters. Definitely tracing the IP.

The page seems to detect where you are accessing it from. It told me the story was from Oregon. The scammers are getting better. I've seen many legitimate websites that looked much worse.

That is how I knew it was fake... it said a lady in New Mexico made ... money a week. Half the USA doesn't know New Mexico is a state, the other half couldn't care less, so no one is going to advertise someone from New Mexico making money, it would be worthless advertising. :)

Yep, clearly converting the IP to location, mine reads "Cork Stay At Home Mom Makes $6,875/Month Working From Home"

[kstraw]

The fact that it places your home town, or at least that of your IP provider, in the US and then discusses everything in US Dollars says Scam Scam Scam! In my case the average Northamptonshire housewife would not think in US dollars!

It looks like an otherwise legitimate enough news site, until you notice that ALL of the links (traffic, weather, news, etc) go to the same "internet profit" spamsite. :-D They might have more success signing up a few poor saps than the usual easily-dismissed email, but it's still hard to imagine many people taking the bait... ...Although a somewhat naieve friend was adamant about signing up to a pyramid-spam scheme about ten years ago - I argued with him for a long time about how pointless and annoying it would be for himself and others, but he was stuck somewhere along the lines of "but what if it's true and I get rich?". Not sure if he went through with it in the end. Perhaps a bit similar to people who aren't quite sure about their particular religion but won't "become" atheists because what if it's true etc. (Even though the same argument could be made for any arbitrary belief).

Oh look! They blanked out the name of the recipient, but left the TR and DDA numbers on the bottom of the check along with the authorizing signature! Guess it's time for me to print up a few $5000 checks for myself! Woohoo!

Which brings up an interesting question - do the people of New Mexico not know they are in the USA, or do they not care? Anyway, been a while since I saw you, Jeff, how are you doing? Family OK? :)

50/50 split of course. ;P

The downside being, of course, that you're eating in India. I am truly sorry.

I guess you're one of the few who aren't fond of Indian food? :)
