Rule #1: Never EVER send money to get money.
Rule #2: Never EVER buy gift cards and send the codes.

As soon as the scammer said to GIVE them money, that instantly says SCAM written all over it. There is NO job where you PAY.

😂😂😂 imagine sending a company $62, 000 to watch their movie trailers 😂😂😂

[edwardmorehouse]

Did she REALLY think she could make $9000 a month watching movie trailers?

[deborahblackvideoediting]

I've gotta ask...if this poor woman is so gullible with her money, how the heck did she get $100, 000 to begin with?!

[brucef]

Don't know how people fall for this.

[ArfArfBarkBark]

She wasn't vulnerable...she was greedy.

[greyhoundude]

Some people work their entire lives and don't manage to save $100, 000. She lost that much in a month and doesn't seem to be terribly concerned about it.

Her husband is probably a millionaire to ashamed to show his face. Thats a nice house no way she earned that with this level of gullability. Easy come easy go.

You never took a step back, and thought "if they are my employer, why am I paying them"?

[confidentialp]

Reporter - “Racheal said the scam was very convincing”
Anyone with working brain cells - “No the hell it ain’t”

[V.E.R.O.]

No legit employer will ask you for money!

[johnnyfive]

This is not a scam. She is a fool and has only herself to blame.

[susanabrown]

Hahaha, She had money to watch movies instead of seeking a real job!!

[Moooob]

Sigh. This is the reason the rest of us keep getting spam texts, emails and spoofed phone calls. There's lots like this woman out there feeding them.

[Richardpasquinucci]

if you have 100, 000 dollars. Why do you need a work from home job

[beaniril]

Scammer: i will pay you 9k/mo but you have to send me 100k first.
Woman: that’s a no-brainer, a very good deal.

[vgardner]

And this is why Scammers will never get real jobs. It may take a while but someone always makes it worth it for them to continue

[GamersBay]

Any employer asking for money is a serious red flag, run the other way! This lady clearly was not thinking.

[alpark]

the 100k she lost could of been used to make real money by starting a company
