Dear Chatty Lady,
Thank you so much for your efforts. I would like to thank everyone in advance for helping me with this terribly frustrating ordeal. Hopefully, with your help I will get somewhere with this company. I may even get the money they owe me.
Sincerely,

At first, I didn't understand why they would give you $40,000 and ask you to pay all of their other writers. And then it occurred to me they could send you a worthless check for $40,000 - you deposit the money, pass along the rest to the other writers and suddenly checks start bouncing on your account.

No reputable company, even a company overseas, would ask a writer to be their payroll agent. Even if they never pay you the $100, and I really hope they do, by turning them down you probably saved yourself a lot of trouble and aggravation.

How smart of you Joni! It never occured to me why they wanted her to take the 40K and I have been scratching my head on this one. That is one of the reasons I haven't responded.

Amber, keep us posted and good luck!

Hello,
How smart you are Joni. I would not have thought of that....It is probably what they do...or worse....lol. I have not heard from them in a while now. I am in contact with another man that they owe money too. They told him he won some bogus contest! He is under the impression that he will get paid...poor sucker...I tried to tell him that he will probably never see a dime, but he is hanging on. He will let me know. They must be doing this to a lot of people. I hope they go down in a big way....I just wish I could get what they owe me first....lol.
Thanks everyone.....I am glad I got out...but they still have three of my articles on the site....grrrrr.
