If you mean the patient id one, I lost mine. I had a feeling it would happen because the last batch was mind-numbing and really wasn't worth the pay.
Not sure exactly what it was, but it was like 7 different types of identification...patients, treatment, diagnosis, etc. They said if we don't hear from the, keep an eye out for future quals. So I'll try again. I swear I got one of them a long time ago but I cannot remember which one.

I love the old Sears catalogs with the homes you can buy in them, my Mimi had those. My grandmothers were old enough, born in 1923 and 1929. Those women are tough as nails.
What year catalog had the home plans...I want to look for one on ebay.
Yep...bet they were tough...they were young in the depression years. :) My mother said people would come to her back door asking for food. I was born 1939...so it was over then. I got to be a teenager in the 50's...Happy Days time.

a friend of a friend (his mom actually) got scammed out of some money.

$3000 through western union, and $400 itunes gift cards.

it's easy to say she should have seen the red flags sooner, but some people may not be aware of some of the common scams

I'm getting incredibly annoyed about requesters creating surveys that advance as soon as you choose something.

I want to push the :rolleyes: by myself.

I don't need help
I'm not disabled
and sometimes I go to push one circle, and it pushes a different one because they're just slightly too close.

I've messaged two requesters yesterday about this very thing, and one replied and said that it was so the survey takes people less time.

I was flaberghasted
and I don't flaberghast easily

The closest I ever had to a mail order house was my Barbie Dreamhouse. When I was 6, I was small enough to crawl inside with my cat (who kind of claimed it as his own).

I worked with a guy who's wife was on Ebay bidding on an expensive guitar for their son. The guy I worked with was out of town when the auction ended and his wife fell for the scam after the auction ended asking them to complete the deal outside of Ebay. She sent them a couple thousand via Western Union that of course instantly vanished. Easy to do if you're not careful.

I check my Gmail SPAM folder for a good laugh and poor English examples sometimes, but they only keep doing it because someone somewhere still falls for it now and then.

the poor english/grammer is actually to screen out people who are likely to notice something is wrong.
it means less wasted time on bad leads [for the scammers]

The scammers must know I'm poor, because I never get scam offers or any spam in my email at all. I kinda feel left out tbh.
