Hi All:

I want to post about a scam that cost my family $3,500.00. It was a "gifting program" called Power of People Network. My husband answered an online ad stating "Make money at home for returning calls - no selling".

My husband took a chance. He was instructed to send $3,500.00 cash via Federal Express. Once the money was received, a guy named Jonathan from Corsicana Texas sent my husband about 200 phone numbers. He was instructed to call and tell these "leads" about the program and try to solicit them to send $3,500.00. Well, as you can imagine, this did not work out well as my husband just didn't have his heart in it because he suspected this was illegal.

Well, it is illegal and it's categorized as and "gifting program" which falls under the heading of "organized crime"! There are several groups that have gifting programs online, but this particular one was called Power of People Network. Please beware and do not get taken in by this scam.

I am in the process of notifying EVERY Attorney General in the country as well as the Better Business Bureau, IRS and the Federal Trade Commission. As you can imagine, they claim this money is tax free because it is a gift.
