Every time I advertise in the Southern California on line newpaper call the recycler I get and e-mail from people who are out of state offering to pay 3 times what the item cost. In the lastest incident I put up a cell phone for 60 dollars. I got a email from a plain yahoo address from a man saying he was in England and will to pay 150 US dollars if I would rush the phone to him priority male. He even gave me a london phone number. It this some kind of scam. I can never advertise without getting these offer. It I thought they were true I would have taken them up on it by now. Is this a common scam?
Thanks Jason and Marjie. I should tell them to go **** their mother ck. next time. Marjie thanks for he extra details. I not only wanted to know “is this a scam” but what what the purpose. Apparently bad forms of payment. Thanks everyone.

I was extremely excited to find this job where I could work from home however it turned out to be completely different. It’s a job as advertising sales and 100% commission based, I’ve been there for a month now and still have not had a sale. The thing is I’ve had experience in sales. I’m also not getting proper training and have to find my own leads in order to make decent commission. I feel that I’m working for free. Doing my own market research, finding leads, writing my own script because according to the company to be successful is all in the script and numbers (100+ calls per day) which I’ve been following and still no success. I’m pregnant and about to give birth soon, I took the job thinking it would help bring income and now it’s just caused more stress, do I need to just stick it out and eventually get some sales? I feel pressured by the comp to make sales but don’t feel like I’m getting the proper training.

As I look back at my classified ad for leasing an apartment, I feel that my ad is unique by the fact that I mention a meditating room. The general genre of classified ads has many factors that create the genre. For example, the classified ads could be online or on newspapers. I will focus my energy on the basic newspaper classified ads because it set the traditional format. Classified ads have a certain format and usually the ads lengths are short and straight to the point as well as a persuasive eye catching saying that a reader can call for more information.
The reason for the limited amount of words on the ads is due to the fact that writer is either charged by the amount of space or words, thus the writer have to be concise and persuasive get the attention of the audience. It is also easier for the reader to understand the general information for the place for rent insists of being bombard by too much unnecessary information. The sentence structure of classified ads is incomplete because it is to grab the reader attention with the amount of limited amount of space. The convention of the word bathroom become “BA” and bedroom become “BR” is the standard layout among the other for rent classified ads. By following the same convention, I show that I understand standard format within the genre of classified ads to my audience.
As a writer for classified ads, I must keep in mind that a reader who is looking through the ads because he/she has a need for the items or location. By my diction choice being informal, I convey personable interaction between the writer and the reader as if I, the writer, am shouting to the reader. That is the reason for my incomplete, informal, and exclamation mark to present to the reader. I clearly wanted to mention the location of my apt in the University District so that people who are looking at this ad can get an idea of which part of Seattle that this apt is located in and if it will suit their needs.
I tried to apply that uniqueness by mentioning a meditating room. This can be a part of a walk-in closet with another door to a small quiet space for mediating. I realize Seattle has a good market for yoga and mediating, and I hope that my ad can come across that market. By understand the genre of classified ads and effectively following the format, I hope to reach out to my target audience.

What are the pro’s and con’s in buying a used car from a dealer and a private seller? As I search the classified ads by private sellers online, I have come across numerous scams. I’m wondering if I’m better off just going to the dealership to buy a used car. I don’t have a lot of money to work with ($5K) and really don’t want monthly payments, but it looks like I may have no other option.
