Daily I see these. Most complaints are that they are scams. Either they want your personal information to steal your identity or: (I suspect this one is one of them).
They send you a check. It will clear your bank. Somehow they overpay you and ask you to wire some of the money back.
In the meantime that check that cleared, comes back bounced. Banks will clear checks then they bounce - not sure how that works. (out of country checks).
You are out the money. Stay away from craigslist for jobs. PLEASE.
This one is VERY common - it's a scam.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
