Is R16500 a lot of money to earn every month for an R18 year old?

Is R16500 a lot of money to earn every month for an R18 year old?
Truly what I want to know if that amount of money, is good money for me to invest (any property in South Africa, or somewhere where the rand is stronger?) after 20 months of work. This job does not need me to study but just do a 2 month course for the position. Also I will make a fair commission on the R16500, depending on clients. There are no expenses for me, as I am supplied with food and shelter. P.S "R" stands for Rand (it is a South African currency) Georgia your an idiot for not knowing that.

what is with emails promising to pay you for helping with transfering money cause someone died?I get so many.?

what is with emails promising to pay you for helping with transfering money cause someone died?I get so many.?
I get these emails weekly and I know they are after something. But this doesn't sound ethical or leagal..I just don't get it. They are always labeled as "very urgent" and go something like this...Before this unpleasant incident, my mother and Terry had already visited South Africa to deposit the sum of Seven Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (US$7.5M) in the safe vault of a Security and financial company here in Johannesburg South Africa.Then follow with.....If my proposition is considered, for assisting us to transfer this money to your country, we will offer you 25% of the total fund,75% will be for my family. We wish to invest a large portion of our share in your country under your supervision...... Where do these come from and why?????? How do I make them stop??

these are sucker emails and illegal- the idea is to find somebody dumb and greedy enough to give their bank account number- then they clean out any account they can find with the info given
2 :
You can't make them stop. The other biggie right now is an email supposedly from Chase Bank asking you to log in because of account problems. I logged in with a fake name and password, and it still let me into a screen asking for credit card information. The fake name and password were insulting to them, by the way.

These e-mails come from people who have overseas accounts who are trying to bilk you out of your money. The only way to make them stop is through a SPAM or BULK filter on your e-mail accounts or by blocking the addresses on each message you receive. I began getting these and ended up changing my e-mail account. Good Luck!

Not that this will make it stop, but there's a website called sweetchillisauce dot com, and the guy had gone back and forth with a bunch of these scam artists. It's hilarious, and may make receiving these more bearable!
5 :
there are mostly from Nigeria. just ignore them. big scams
6 :
It's a scam, i get them all the time too. Do you ever play the lottery online? Or something like the Lottery? They probably got your informaton from there. It's the latest in oversea's internet scam crime! They ask for your account information to transfer funds to your account....that's when they take everything you have!!!
7 :
These are false, called "419 letters" after the Nigeria legal code for fraud. Do not give any real information to them. They are normally Nigerian, even if they say they are from another country. They are sometimes from other African and severely corrupt countries in other parts of the world. The idea is that 1) there is a lot of money, but they need your help. 2) At some point, they will either attempt to drain you bank account, or do some identity theft, or they will ask you for money (We need $5000 to pay the transfer fee....). I have responded (as a joke, of course) with a dozen or so of these fakes. Often, if you read carefully, they are asking you to steal (it's not their money, they just can't find who it should go to, or it should go to the government). www.scamorama.com is a funny site, if you're over 18.

Yes, It is a scam with MONEY hungry people in mind. People do fall for this and always loose their hard earned cash, looking for the EASY dollar. If it sounds too good to be true, IT IS. They ask for a few hundred and promise millions...Come on now.

Does anyone has received a email saying that you won the lottery?

Does anyone has received a email saying that you won the lottery?
I did received one of those emails and it says that I won 850.000.00 dollars in a lotto draw where they randomly selected a batch of 50,000 international emails and that my emails was selected and won that prize but the question is: are these real? or they just want my money? Because i been replying this person to "claim" my prize and that I have to pay a fee of US$1240 to open a non-resident account in south africa to make an international wire transfer to my bank account here in USA. At first, the guy was pretty convincing but then he said that i had to send the money somewhere in London...and that's weird! why would I send money to London to open a bank account in south africa? I would like to know if these guys just want my money and if you have experienced something similiar and tell me if this are real or they just fake? thanx!

If you didn't enter a lottery, how could you win?. This is a scam!!!!! Do not send anyone money, ever.
2 :
EVERYONE HAS GOTTEN THAT SCAM
3 :
YES !! I get one every day. Don't believe it.. These bad people are bad news. You cannot win if you don't play.... They are FAKE, FAKE, FAKE !!!!!!
4 :
I've gotten about 30 of them over the last couple of years. THEY ARE ALL FAKE. The are attempts at 'phishing' and identity theft.
5 :
I get them all the time, and I toss them in the trash, because, I know that they are either part of a scam or a marketing ploy to get me to buy something I don't need. Logically, I can't be a winner in a contest that I have not entered.
6 :
Yes its called spaming and if you fall for it its called a scam
7 :
It is a con. You get a check, cash it, and it later bounces...leaving you to pay back the bank. If they added a twist about opening a bank account that is just an added way to sucker money out of you. Call the cops. Do not fall for this scam.
