Today I watched the hearing on CNN where the oil companies where asking congress for 18 billion in tax incentives.  It was quite interesting to watch.  I was very surprised at how offensive congress was in the drilling of questions and demanding an explanation for gas prices, the rapid increase, and even a incentive that was paid to a big oil executive that I think they said was near 400 million dollars.

 I give kudos to congress for asking the questions we all want to know.  I so often get the idea that congress is in bed with the oil companies and things will never change because of all the money coming in and changing hands and buying people off.  Maybe there is hope though…I guess we will wait and see.

  Yesterday I received a letter from a guy named Dick Black.  It spoke of a business offer with The People United Group.  It basically is one of those deals where you send $20 to this address and it goes to the 5 people on the list, this also places you on the top of the list, and then you resend the letter using the sales kit to other people and the process continues.  It claims what your really doing is purchasing a sales kit so that makes it a legal operation.  Seems to be walking a fine line but Im not a lawyer so I’m not sure personally.

Most of the people on the list in the letter I received were very easy to find using Google.  I found phone numbers and addresses of almost all of them.  I have tried calling some, only to get answering machines.  One guy, Glen Brink, I have found on MySpace.  His profile shows he has a personal website.  On his site it looks like he has his fingers in many different work at home pots.  I am still waiting for a reply from him for his take on this particular venture.

The letter requires that you send only money orders, no checks.  If you want expedited shipping of your sales kit though, you’re to include $6 in cash only.  Strange I must say.  All payments are supposed to be sent to a DM Services in Naples Florida to a PO Box 34106.  It gives a telephone number for DM Services 239-775-2588 that Google shows to be a Jospeh Gales and gives a physical address also in Napples.  I am still awaiting response from the people I have contacted to see if this is scam or not.  I will update when more info is available.

So the other day I was looking around trying to find some free money making offers on the internet and I came across instantpaypalcash.com.  Now, normally I cant stand these kind of offers but the website made it sound so easy.  Just follow the instructions and I would get $100 in my Paypal account.  It also promotes itself as a way to make several hundred dollars a week on a continuing basis. 

So I give my name and email and get the instructions on what I need to do.  And I have to say, I honestly got lost in confusion and links and clicks and websites trying to complete the offers I needed to fulfill to get the hundred dollars.

 I’m not saying this one doesn’t have the $100 at the end, but damn…  You expand your earnings by getting referrals, again, not a big fan.  I cant write this one off based on my experience as I simply got frustrated with the process and having to clear cookies out at each site visit ect…  Anybody been able to make it through and see any money out of this one?
