It's probably no surprise to anyone here that much of the "reporting" on the Examiner is questionable at best. I know the writers aren't suppose to be pros by any means, but, come on...

I just ran into a story called "Ways To Make Money" here (http://www.examiner.com/article/ways-to-make-money).

The story references a story by Amanda Winston Consumer Trends Investigator, which is a fake name and title used by numerous fake websites promoting work at home scams. Here's the part The Examiner quotes:



"According to a special report published by Amanda Winston, a Consumer Trend Investigator of Your Daily Finance – Working from home online is a reality for at least one Maryland mom. Read Have You Ever Considered Working from Home Online to learn more."

Even better, the first link of the article links this account (http://www.jeteakmakemoney.com/cgi-sys/suspendedpage.cgi) which has been suspended. :duh:

Even better, the Amanda Winston article (http://www.stayathomeincomemoms.com/) uses this picture of "Mary Stevens"

In another Amanda Winston article (http://www.careerjournalonline.org/newsupdate/workfromhome/vc/0a34jkm/au/) same woman, same cheque, but here her name is Melissa Johnson

Here she is again (http://www.bubblews.com/news/19080-work-at-home-scams-don039t-be-fooled) only this time she is "Alina Cruz"

She reappears again HERE (http://likesandthensome.wordpress.com/2013/06/26/stay-at-home-mum/) only this time she has relocated to Wellington, New Zealand

This blogger has woken up. (http://www.pennlive.com/living/index.ssf/2013/09/who_is_theresa_andrews_and_why.html) She was presented to him as "Theresa Andrews"

Another alert blogger (http://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/article/2013/11/2/melissa-johnson-from-is-a-regular-mum-who-lost-her-job-work-from-home-scam/) only now, she has changed back into Melissa Johnson

As per usual.

I'm really starting to think that this lady doesn't earn $8000/month working from home now. :RpS_unsure:

From here Home Cash System Reviews - Legit or Scam? (http://reviewopedia.com/workathome/home-income-cash-system-review-is-it-a-scam/)




...
This program has been previously sold under the names BlackBelt Profit System and Home Income Profit System.
....
The problem with Home Income Cash System and its previous versions is two-fold. First, they’re sold through deceptive “advertorials”- fake news sites designed to look like the real thing. These sites feature a bogus article about a young single mom who’s making a living using this system.

That DailyJobsAlerts site was promoting Profit Masters Academy discussed at RealScam here (http://www.realscam.com/f8/profit-masters-academy-phil-gannuscia-wants-more-your-money-1487/) and was run by one of the companies recently shut down by the FTC (http://www.realscam.com/f37/ftc-takes-utah-coaching-companies-finally-2988/).
