30 days Challenge - Day 11!
19 days to go!
Day 11, article done. I have taken some holiday (thank God!) and I really needed it. But I was also very disturbed because I couldn't write my daily article...
Anyway. It took me 6 hours to write my article today because of my research but what a relief when you have something to write about! Also, I'm almost 1500 words now.
And a bonus story
Enough of my challenge. I have seen a recent trend here at WA: people are talking about scams. I will tell you how I ALMOST got scammed by one program I once found on the internet.
Last summer, as I was surfing on the internet, an add came out on all of the websites and told me a company wanted to recruit. All I had to do was applying and passing a test... And I did. The job promissed me 1000$ A DAY and I immediately thought it was a scam. But I wanted to be really sure, even if I was dreaming about earning money to pay my vacations.
On the internet, I found a lot of reviews (you know, so called "honnest" reviews so you don't get scammed, writen by people that are paid to promote a program) and none of them talked about a scam. Same for the comments ; everyone was telling me that it was awesome and that I could do the job without any worry.
After applying, I had to pass the test and I only had a week to do it. The job was about a program that would trick casinos: I would play and, because the algorithm was telling me what to bet, I would win a lot of money. First you always win. After a while, once you've done the first part of the test, you have to pay at least 30$ to continue.
THANK GOD I was to poor to afford this! So I had to give up and it made me sad, but as a friend once told me: "If it doesn't work now, it means that you'll find something better". A few months later, it turned out it was a scam. Comments changed and people said they lost at least 500$ on the program... And I thought "I KNEW IT".
Yet another scam story. It's incredible to think that such things can work, even if we all know what it is about. This little part of us dreams about a better life and, for that, we somehow need money. Anyway, my friend was right: I found something better here at WA. I'm still learning and I'm still trying to make it work and I have to be patient. But yeah, here I am.
Thank you for reading, my friends. Please tell me about you: how is it going? Have you been scammed too?
Lots of love <3

Hey,
What's your goal on day 30th?
Every single moment, someone is trying to scam someone online. You got luck you didn't fall to that.
That pay was too good to be true lol. Like you had the initial feelings, some offers can just tell me from a long distance this is bad idea ;)
So good luck to you on your journey. WA is the most authentic platform on IM training on the net. So let's stick here
Hi, my goal is to take advantage of the 3 months of vacation (at least I don't have to go to the university) to improve my business. On the 30th well... I don't know, honestly...
Yes, you can see when it's a scam but sometimes you're still tempted to know how it works. But if it's that dangerous, better not taking a look.
Good luck to you too and have a nice day :)
