Would you like to pay for the chance to work from home?

Some people should not, under any circumstances, be allowed anywhere near the internet. I yet to come up with the definitive list of who these people are, but those of us that have been working the interweb for a period of time remember the days of trying to watch the Phantom Menace trailer on dial-up, the frustration of the time it took to look at pictures of er, specialist websites, and remember the emails that we first got touting urban myths or scams that we had been hearing round the playground/workplace/pub for years. But this was in nineteen-fucking-ninety-eight! And now the blessed internet has also managed to largely debunk such bollocks and those of us living in the 21st Century commonly know most of them to be bullshit.

Unfortunately there is still the uninitiated out there for people wishing separate people from their cash and their common sense. Do people seriously still believe it happens that people wake up in a bath of ice and your kidneys have been removed, that some bloke from Nigeria has got billions of dollars that he wishes to rest in your account, or that you have won a lottery that you never entered? Well obviously they do and can you please stop sending emails to my Mum, or I will be forced to ask Yahoo to disable her account. Ta.
