i think she deserves some kind of punishment, you've got to be pretty dumb to think deals like that are legit.

Didn't she do at least some basic research on the company after they said they would hire her? Thinking that it was legit is pretty ignorant. And ignorance has never been a good defense in court.

You can research the company and still have it look legit. Not being in the accounting field, I really don't know what giveaway signs would look like, but try being unemployed for a year, and most jobs would start looking pretty good. Hard to be objective when you're trying to survive!

taking cash, from -inviduals- and sending it, to ANOTHER COUNTRY all arranged through the INTERNET?!

1 multipled by 38 multiplied by 17 plus 20, really IS 666!!!

Democrat?

I think the online job site is partly to blame too. They should be sued.

Now that's just wrong! But if you find me over at politik (as a republican), we could discuss it....

My personal opinion is that she Shouldnt get in trouble and whoever's website that hosted the online scam ad should pay the money back out of their insurance to the victim. She didnt know it was a crime, thought she was getting a good job and thats that. I know how it is to be desperate for work, im unemployed as well..I doubt i would fall for this, but come on, this is the age of AOL, Big-Mac Families and Pepsi One (actually..that new one that came out for coke..whatever its called, im too drunk to remember now..), people really are as dumb as possible when it comes to the net and getting scammed. People still get scammed by those "Make money at home, send us 50.00 for processing fees first!" scams.

Review your employer background also... you never know who you will end working for.
