It's ironic, because I actually knew the woman who was on the original version of the photo. The photo was taken by a professional photographer at our company and he left the business a few weeks later. This was about ten years ago, in 2005/2006'ish.We both lived in Oakleigh, which is a suburb of Melbourne, Australia.
Well done. Seen the same picture using Leah Williams and Melissa Johnson. If you had a system that made you rich would have to sell it. Keep up good work.
Thank you guys...I almost fell for it but I had doubts then googled Melissa Johnson ended up on this site.
I am from Austria, and live in the little village of Tschagguns. I know everyone here and when I saw the article about a women named "Melissa Johnson" from "Tschagguns" who make money through this online site, I immediatly doughted that it is a scam. I researched, to double check my dought,. And of course it is a scam. There is NO Melissa Johnson in Tschagguns!In the internet, they just adapt the location of this " Melissa Johnson " to your own location, so people get interested!
She now lives in Dover UK 😕😕😕😕
To be honest, if it wasn't for the comments below, I would have registered with this is a scam.There is no such Zimbabwean woman and even if she was there, how the h**l did she register Zimbabwe with no postal codes and is not even in the listed countries.Thanks you guys you really helped me out.
Thank you for your warning, for I was about to fall for this, whilst my 6th sense was curious about how for doing nothing specified one would just earn that kind of money. Immediately I decided to search on who this Zimbabwean Mellisa woman is, only to discover that she is too listened in the same scam as a citizen of several other countries! It's all fake & once again thank you for making it easy for us to escape these thieves.
Whoops, got sucked in!Was pressured into making two different transactions for so-called services and training despite me telling the guy that I am not well and would need time to look into it more.He proceeded to tell me he was talking to a different person because I had changed my mind. I was caught off guard when he rang anyway and not being well, the brain functions even slower.I've cancelled my account and are hoping to get the payments either stopped or refunded.Wish me luck everyone:o{Anyone else been trapped and come out with their cash still intact? How did you go about it?
Mellisa from Iran is impossible because there is no way to pay the $2 fee she states she paid.
guys,thanks for warning,I was about to register,fortunately I realised that I forget my VISA card in the car and again my country Rwanda is not on the list. Then started to Google the name. Thanks for the warnings.

It is ridiculous that the AU Yahoo helped promote the same scam on 10/04/15. the news/scam shown on the front page attracted me to click the news for details. once clicked the news, it redirected me to the " www.careerjournalonline.com " which is associated with the work-from-home jobs.Of course, the content was slightly modified and the scam sounds truth.When I looked into it, there were some text boxes at the bottom. If u wanna join them to earn the quick money, you have to submit your credit card details and personal details.Once done, it will redirected you to a web service provider called iosbackoffice.com. This web company will guide you how to get the quick money by following the instructions.Of course, this company will earn you the money first if u really want to host your webpage. You will wait the luck after few weeks according to their descriptionsI have no idea why yahoo allows this scam promoted in their website! I thought Yahoo should filter the news before they posted. Unbelievable !
This 'work from home' offer is a scam. Because, I live here and there is NO MELISSA JOHNSON IN Happy Valley.
Melissa Johnson has a home in every city and town on earth...she lives where your cookies tell her she lives!
I thought so cause I live in a majority french province . Her name was more American.
I always google or FB the name, if it doesn't come up its a scam...
OMG I almost fell for it after reading people's comments under that article on the other websites. Are those people real?
Thanks for the advice. I'll warn all I know! I guess there's truth in the saying . Hard earned cash doesn't come easy!
I've almost fallen into this scam. I was convinced and I registered as it says registration is free. But, I entered my inactive credit card account for a safe reason. After entering, it eventually process a series of payments; $97, $1, $157,
