While speaking on a CNBC's Squawk Box show, Mark Mobius expressed an opinion that Bitcoin, being the most attractive on the crypto market, would look even more so if it were backed by gold. The latter, he believes, remains a safe haven in the market at the moment.
Mobius says just faith in BTC is not enough
While answering the question of the TV anchor, Mobius stated that a whole generation of people believes in the Internet and now in blockchain and they trust DLT to back cryptocurrencies. He pointed out that since fiat money, such as USD, is not backed by gold anymore, it is also backed by people's trust in the power of their government.
Still, he stated that if Bitcoin fans take a closer look at what their currency is backed by (by nothing, he basically meant) they might realize that this is quite a risky situation.
In gold we trust, states Mobius
Now that gold has hit a 6-year high in price and many central banks are carrying out quantitative easing programs (printing cash, basically), many from the old guard of investors will turn their focus of attention towards gold.
Anthony Pompliano's opposite view
However, an outstanding investor from a newer generation, Anthony Pompliano, believes that in this situation it is reasonable to buy not gold but Bitcoin.
In his numerous interviews and talks on CNBC and on his Twitter page Pompliano tries to convince the audience that Bitcoin is getting more and more exposure to institutional investors these days.
Once he stated that nowadays it is irresponsible for a financial institution not to have Bitcoin in its portfolio.
Bitcoin, he says, will become more and more popular among institutions and the BTC price is going to rise in the short term, due to the growing interest and the halving expected in May 2020.

Marks & Spencer has admitted a massive bloomer and backtracked on a redesign of its beloved 'granny pants' – after a backlash from angry customers.
The retail giant made some small alterations on its best-selling five pack of ladies cotton briefs, including moving the seam from the side to the front.
But angry shoppers got their knickers in a twist, complaining the new pairs were smaller and not half as comfy.
The M&S website features reviews from loyal shoppers complaining the redesign was a "downgrade" and the "fit was not as good".
Reviewers who had bought the pants for years begged the retail chain to ditch the new design and bring back their "old much-loved knickers".
One review said: "They were perfect fit before and so comfortable! Please could M&S go back to the seam and the front!
"I think it would make some happy customers as quite a few of us are rather disappointed with the new version."
Another added: "Old version was great, these are awful.
"The old version with the front seams was very comfortable, however this version now has seams at the side which make the fit much worse.
"Bought several packs as I expected them to be like the old ones and I will be returning all unopened packs.
"I agree with many other reviewers, please go back to the old front seam version, they are were great."
And after a BBC radio consumer affairs programme featured a plea from one disgruntled customer, M&S bosses promised to ditch the new design and bring back the old undies.
The popular M&S Collection five pack of Supima Cotton & Modal No VPL pants come in a 'full brief' and 'high leg' design and cost £12 in black, or white and nude.
The flat seams on the front of the pants were scrapped and replaced with more typical raised ones on the sides.
Shoppers also claim the overall size of the pants was increased, but the material over the hip was made smaller.
The photograph on the website initially remained the same – as did the product code for the pants – prompting shoppers to unknowingly buy the altered design.
Bosses responded by looking at reviews and speaking to suppliers, before promising to bring back the old knickers later this year.
A spokeswoman said: "Our loyal customers are very important to us. We looked into this and decided to change the knickers back to the original style lines following her valuable feedback."

We're here to help any time, so if you have any questions please tap Help > Assistance & Feedback.
Getting started: scanning your first room
Select a HomeKit room name from the choices shown, or enter one manually.
You can add HomeKit accessories during the scan either way, but it's quicker if Cabin® already knows which HomeKit room it is.
Make sure to complete the Tutorial.
When you start your scan, you'll see green markers and white markers as shown here.
If the AR walls get out of sync with the real walls, return to a green marker to re-sync. These are locations Cabin® will recognise more easily.
Place two or more markers on longer walls.
This makes the AR walls sync with the real walls much more accurately.
When all the walls are marked, the Finish Flag will appear.
Don't press it yet. First, it's time to do some 3D scanning and add HomeKit.
Cabin® images floors & furniture in two different ways.
If you have floors with lots of visible detail, it will pick up the floor images just as the floor comes into view. This is also how walls are captured.
For all furniture, and w hen the floor has no visible detail, scanning works differently.
Point your device straight down and you should see a circle directly under the phone. It's the green circle in this screenshot.
Anything in this circle will be captured as an image, even if it has no visible detail or isn't on the floor. You'll see the circle shrink when holding the phone over furniture, as it contracts to capture things that are closer to the camera.
You can also add HomeKit accessories during scanning.
(Scans can be resumed later, so you don't have to capture everything in one go.)
Select the HOMEKIT mode above the white circle button and place the HomeKit marker in the location and orientation of the accessory.
Select ACCESSORY PHOTO to snap photos of your HomeKit accessories. The photo will appear in the correct place in the 3D model.
Cabin® knows whether the accessory is switched on or off when you take the photo.
If you get a photo of the accessory in both states, the correct photo will magically appear in the 3D model. It will change automatically even if it's switched on and off outside of Cabin®.

The minute I hear the siren, I know I can kiss our Sunday morning brunch goodbye. It is around midnight on Saturday when I hear it off in the distance, fast approaching our bedroom community of Salmon Creek.
I nudge him as he sleeps next to me."Hon, the ambulance is coming."
Our tiny bedroom in the back of the house faces away from the ocean. Sometimes in summer, with all the windows open, we can hear the waves crashing on the rocks in the front of the house even from our bed. When the fog rolls in, blanketing the coastline, everything becomes still and quiet. This is a foggy night; I can tell by the silence.
The wop wop of the ambulance wakes me from a dreamy slumber. Because he is a volunteer EMT currently on duty, I sleep with an ear cocked to the possibility of a short night.
I don't have to prod him more than once. Springing into action, he crashes into the wall that lines his side of the massive waterbed.
"Okay, okay. I'm okay," he says, fumbling around on the headboard for his glasses.
Sleeping fully clothed, all he has to do is find his shoes, kicked under the overhang at the end of the bed. Then he's ready to run downstairs and meet the volunteer ambulance vehicle of which he is the second paramedic on board.
I really admire him for adding this responsibility to his already busy schedule as a biologist at the Bodega Marine Laboratory. Often he's had to make hourly runs to the lab for some larval crustacean feeding trial. This work, coupled with being a volunteer EMT one week a month, has meant he travels the dark empty roads at all hours of the night for one purpose or the other. And he has never complained. He loves what he does, both as a marine biologist and as a volunteer EMT for our community of 450 residents.
After even the shortest of emergency medical calls, he won't be home for hours. The scarcity of houses which dot the vast rural landscape and the distance between them and the hospital in town guarantees this.
I fall back asleep as the sound of the siren fades away in a Doppler fashion, feeling the once warm spot in the bed turn cold.

Mystery shopper scam strikes again
It sounds pretty good: you walk into a store like any other customer. Then 20 minutes later, you're done, ready to write a report that will earn you $50. And then you can do it again.
If Shopper Systems and some companies like it were to be believed, mystery shopping jobs like this were not only widely available, but could generate "insane profit." All for just $2.95 for training and a week's trial, then $49.95 a month after that for an up-to-date list of interested retailers — and you'd be free to cancel any time.
But they couldn't be believed, the FTC says. According to the FTC's complaint, people who paid to be mystery shoppers found there were few, if any, jobs in their area. And the jobs that did exist paid a lot less than $50. People who tried to cancel found they were still charged $49.95 a month, not knowing they were also enrolled in a second "opportunity" running their own webstore.
The companies and people behind the alleged scam have agreed to settlements with the FTC that ban them from selling business or work-at-home opportunities and require them to surrender assets to the FTC.
Legitimate mystery shopping opportunities are out there, but so are plenty of scams. Don't pay to be a mystery shopper — information about mystery shopping jobs should be free, and certifications offered are often of little value. Many professionals in the field consider mystery shopping a part-time activity, at best, and opportunities generally are posted online by marketing research or merchandising companies.

I responded to a mystery shopper email that was sent to me for extra income i was told not to use any of my money for these assignments the money will be sent to me including my fee for the week. Well i received a check for 2450 300 of it is supposedly my pay and the rest i had to purchase itunes gift cards in denominations of $50 or $100 dollars i cant tell the cashier that i'm customer service but i had to scratch the card and send the pin number via email to the company once the assignmemt was done. they also instructed me upon receiving the check how to cash it which is through a check cashing place, mobile banking, atm deposit or go into my bank and give them the check but i have to rate the cashier and these were the questions i had to ask....the name, how long will it take the check to cash, cleanliness, friendly etc etc.....i felt a strange feeling in my stomach so i looked up the routing number its legit but what type of place send that kind of money without the job being done?
That sounds like a scam. If they sent you a bad check and you deposit it, then take cash out and send it to them, you will have to repay the bank when the bank finds out the check was bad.
A fake check might look legitimate, and the bank might cash it, but that doesn't prove the check is good. By law, the bank has to give you some of the money within a few days, but that doesn't mean the check is legitimate. It can take days, even weeks for a bank to find out a check is bad. When the bank finds out, it will come to you to repay all the money you took out.
I Just got scammed by this company, and didn't see it coming...THE SAME DAY!!!...this guy asked me to confirm my name and address so he could get me working, and withing hours, was in my paypal, adding funds, and buying prepaid gift cards ...they are fixing it. Returning all them money put on to him, and all the gift cards, but what a hassle....I was planning on reporting him to the federal trade commission...I didn't expect this!!

so please be smart and google please Global Survey USA 8017 4Th Avenue, Suite 107B New York New York 10022 Number they Gave me 1-800-210-5952 Dan Strauss big fail thanks
What was the email they used?
same thing happened to me . They sent me 2 cashiers checks and of course I called the bank and it the checks were fraudulent.
a guy by the name of ngan nguyen signed it . Beware of these scams...
Received a letter & check in the mail for $%1998.55 to be a mystery shopper from goshoppinggroup. com. Told me to deposit the check, $350 is mine, see assignment #1 for Amount for Evaluation & #2 for Required Funds for retail shopping assignment. I'm safer ripping it up & throwing it away, it sounds too good to be true.
I got a 1950 check Emailed the sender said the business was legit and had been in business since 1990. My guys name was Gerald Johnson. I'm a single mom. Could definitely use the extrac300$. Is this legit.
If someone you don't know sends you a check, it's probably a scam, and you're going to end up losing money.
A scammer might say you're going to be a mystery shopper, or use different stories. The bottom line is: you take a big risk if you cash a check from someone you don't know, or someone who found you online and offered you a job. This FTC article about fake checks has more information. And this article tells how scammers "hire" people for jobs that can get you in legal trouble.
received a check for $1960.00 on the dec 19th. called the issuing bank (Commerce Bank) yesterday and verified it is not a legit check. Been getting texts from Alex McDonnell saying he knows it was delivered, when am I going to bank etc. Told him I moved but could pick it up, text back from same number said okay and to keep him posted. Texted the number back and said check not good, not taking it to the bank, and no reply. Then text form another number, asking if I was going to bank. I told them I checked with their bank, check no good, not cashing it. Radio Silence, surprise surprise. The issuer name on the check is ALEX J MCDONNELL, the signor in the check is JOHN A MACDONALD (doctor type signature)and name of the sender on the priority mail label is Alexander Hemming. There is one page of instructions to Mystery Shop at wal mart's Moneygram store. To buy $25 cashier's check from my bank made out to Alex McDonnell, then buy a moneygram in the amount of $1290.00 and send it to Antonio Smith via the 10 minute transfer feature and pay the $35 transfer fee. then send another 250 via the walmart to walmart feature to Antonio Smith again and purchase an iTunes gift card of $50 no mention of what to do with it. Anyway, it all seemed to be too good to be true when I opened the letter. And it is. Glad I caught this before I lost a bunch of money. Reported this scam to the Indiana Attorney General.
Isn't it wonderful that people like this make the legit companies look bad? I got an e/mail, would pay me $350.00 to be a Secret Shopper and I would receive my assignment within days after my approval. Then I start getting multiple e/mails wanting to know if I had received my assignment yet and deposit yet????? I then get this legitimate envelope in the mail with a cashier's check for $2,875.00 which I am to deposit into my account (oh by the way the instructions state that it will clear instantly or within 24 hrs.), then I am to keep $350.00 (my salary for the job), then pay $82.00 for money gram charges to send the remaining balance of $2,440.00 to a Jake Blake in Instanbul, Turkey!!!! Wow! Why do I have to cash a check (that is no good), then send a money gram to your person in Turkey? Why can't you just send that person the check or money gram them money on your own??? Well, the reason is...wait for it...it's a SCAM!!!! I called Georgia United Credit Union to confirm my gut feeling, and sure enough...it's a scam!
Oh, then at the bottom of the instruction letter, is states: "NOTE: At money grams stores, under no circumstances should you acknowledge that you are evaluating their services. That will deter the purpose of the program. If asked if you are a mystery shopper, please answer NO!" Why yes, I am not a scam artist, I want to send money to someone that I don't know in Turkey!!!
So, Mr. Jonathan Daniels (the name at the bottom of the letter of instructions), I will not cash the fake check that you have sent to me only to have it to be a way to play basketball as it will bounce since it's no good...I am sorry Mr. Blake (the person who is supposed to be the recipient), I am not sending you money since I don't want to be held liable when this thing goes south...best of luck on y'all finding some other sucker to do your scamming!!!
I just received a check in the mail for $2,875 and I would get 350 if I deposited the money into my bank account and send $2,440 to a guy named Jake Blake in Turkey. Before hand I kept getting numerous emails from smn.nfi02sx226 @ asking if I had deposited the money yet. Both banks/credit unions said they didn't have the check on file. Reported it but beware these guys are getting good at scamming, look out!
Don't cash a check from someone you don't know who its from. Take it back to the post office. I got a check for 2350.45 in mail from someone I don't even know. They started to text me on my phone,don't answer any email or phone message. Beware their are a lot of Scamers out there they just wanted your hard earning money live off of.And Mystery Shopper Scam.Real mystery shopper don't send u a check in mail.
I got one of these too! I got a check for $2960 and knew this had to be too good to be true. Who is going to pay $300 to do such a quick task and the fact that the letter said this was made out to me in "respect of the secret shopper offer I applied for" when I never applied for a secret shopper job. Too good to be true usually means it is TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!
I am confused! I got the same, however I deposit the check and and my bank cleared it! So I bought the gift cards, where is the scam?
Under federal law, banks generally must make funds available to you from U.S. Treasury checks, most other government checks, cashier's checks, certified checks, and teller's checks one business day after you deposit the check. For other checks, banks must make the first $200 available the day after you deposit the check. The remaining funds must be made available on the second business day after the deposit.
But just because funds are available on a check you deposit does not prove the check is good. It can take weeks for a bank to discover a forgery. You are responsible for any funds you withdraw against that check. If you take the money now, and the bank finds out later that the check was no good, you must repay the bank all the money you withdrew.
So did u get in trouble I have a check also
so what happened with the check?? Has it still cleared???
I got a check today from CSSV Consulting for $2495 and was told to deposit it in my bank, I must had boo-boo the fool written on my birth certificate. So I called the bank and the bank exist but the bank rep she has no record of that check This was a first for me I've never received something like this before but my gut told me it was something very wrong so if you get one TRASH-IT...
What happems if you just cash the check instead of depositing it into your account?
Just received a check for $997 on American Eagle Financial Credit Union. What a fraud---hope people don't get sucked into this. 701 369 3176 is the number used by the perpetrator.
Hi there, thanks for this information. I received a check and text from someone today, claiming to be a representative of Career Builder. My initial thought: "why would Career Builder be texting me??" So I googled the number and came across your comment. I saw that your comment was posted in Feb 2017. It is not Jan 2018, and they are still using the same number. Interesting.
I've received constant messages from the same phone number (701-369-3176); however, the $998 dollar check is on Hatboro Federal Savings. The xeroxed letter that accompanied the check is to shop Walmart and Walmart2Walmart Transfer, where I am to wire funds to Abraham Vernet in Houston, Texas. At the bottom on the letter a note reads, "Remember, you're a master shopper. You are EXPRESSLY FORBIDDEN to disclose this information to anyone."
My daughter received a letter and check from www.worthsendsurvey.com. A $996.00 check issued on Wal-Mart check. The letter looks legit. BUT...the name signed on the bottom is a name I recognized from getting a letter like this years ago. So these guys not only still haven't been caught, but they are confident enough to use the same name. I took the check I received ($5,000) to my bank a few years ago. I asked them about the check (which was legit check paper, but the checks were stolen) In case you are wondering what happens in these cases - they get some poor innocent or desperate soul to take their check to the bank. You take out whatever amount it is they tell you to "send to someone else" out, you send it and then boom....the check bounces. You are responsible for the charges. So if you fall for the scam and USE the money to pay bills, go shopping or whatever thinking you have had good luck, then you are going to be in BIG financial trouble with your bank and whoever else you bought stuff from. It's an old scam and it works because not everyone stops to look stuff up. The other way it works (and I don't think they do this as much anymore because it doesn't take as long for things to go through now) is that you deposit the check, then write a check and send it to someone else. After about 2 weeks their check bounces, but they cashed your check. Now you owe the money AND they have your bank information. I have a credit union and they wised up to this. It now can take 15 days for them to release funds if deposited from a company you do not normally deal with. Then if the check doesn't go through it is considered fraud. Best thing to do is take it to your bank. They will take it to their fraud department. It will be put on a hot list and you may prevent someone else from being victimized.
I received a Scam letter via Priority Mail, today, from North Texas Processing Distrib;951 W. Bethel Rd, Coppell, Tx. 75019. The letter allegedly came from Daily Merit Research, Inc and it included a check drawn from Security Service Federal Credit Union in San Antonio, Tx. for the amount of $2,625.00. Instructions in the letter were for me to deposit the check in my bank a/c and then purchase two M.O. at my local Walmart for $1100 each and pay to the order of Josh Lovewell and Bill Josh c/o the Walmart in Tomball, Tx. 77375. I was to retain $300 for myself as payment for my survey conducted at my local Walmart store. I was also supposed to make a purchase in the amount of $50 for which I was to provide details on the cashier, his/her professionalism and my personal shopping experience. The letter and survey instructions came from a Maxwell Matteson, Research Mgr. and had a ph # that I was to send a text with the store and transaction #'s for the two $1100 m.o.I had wired to the store in Tomball. I was to provide my email and they would send a confirm to me with further instructions.
After doing a google search on the name: Daily Merit Research,Inc., and seeing similar scam reports, I filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission
I filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and they suggested I also bring the info received to my local Post Office and file a complaint there.
Just dodged a scam...same mechanics but a bit sophisticated using social media l. I have received via my LinkedIn contact (her account was hacked) a mystery shopper opportunity. I entertained it because the LinkedIn message or recommendation was from a credible source (didn't know her account was hacked). BEWARE...this is a scam DO NOT fall for it.
I'm reporting this to the Federal Trade Commission as well as alert JP Morgan Chase of possible fake checks to protect any other from being scammed. Here's the instructions by email:

guys this just happened to me and i fell for it because it seemed so real! please tell me what to do! i just now found all of this information and its to late for me to do anything.
Me too it just happened Idk what to do this has never happened to me before.... fid you get it resolved
Got scammed in March 2017. Was distracted and receiving numerous legitimate checks so deposited.
Obviously, you need to notify FBI, FTC, USPO etc because it is a multiplatform fraud.
"Send From" number code. [first five digets]
Mine appears to have originated on a Military Base involved in National Security Communications Interception.
If yours originated on Military Base PO too, Immediately inform your Senator to get the Military to investigate ALL the identities you have and provide the week/day you received envelope ... it there is a tracking number provide that too.
This scam appears to involve military personnel at all levels. It might be funding something ...
question re the secret shopper scam:
I have this check for 2,670.18. What happens if I just deposit the check and then do nothing?
If someone you don't know sends you a check, it's probably a scam, and you're going to end up losing money.
A scammer might say you're going to be a mystery shopper, or use different stories. The bottom line is: you take a big risk if you cash a check from someone you don't know, or someone who found you online and offered you a job. This FTC article about fake checks has more information. And this article tells how scammers "hire" people for jobs that can get you in legal trouble.
I received a check a few years ago from a wheel dealer in CA for 9500 dollars. I had inquired about becoming a dealer so my first thought was maybe it was some kind of store only credit. I deposited the check in my Wells Fargo savings account and just let it sit. One week later the full amount was available in my account. I never touched one penny in that account, I just left it all there. Two weeks later my debit card was shut off and all three of my accounts were closed. I got a letter stating that I was involved in a money laundering scheme and that they, the bank would send me cashiers checks for the balances in each of my accounts after two weeks had passed. My advice is do not cash that check.
I got a letter and a check today. They want me to be a secret shopper at Wal-Mart. I did not sign up for this. I am disabled and bedfast. Where can I return this to? There is no return address.
You can give the letter to your mail carrier, or you can destroy it.
By priority mail I received instructions on how to do a WALMART store survey and a check for $ 2250$ 1840 I was instructed to send to HUNG NGUYEN COLUMBIA HEIGHTS MN 55421 BY WESTERN UNION.
I WAITED for my bank to confirm the check was legit and after the bank approved it they credited it to my account after a day the survey was accepted and the money sent to Nguyen 4 days later the bank says the check is bad phone calls and Emails to Robert Miller were not returned.My bank thinks this has all the signs of a classic Mistery shopper scam
I received similar situation and I believe accordingly to law that this is mail fraud. If I am correct this is a federal offense and is punishable by law. Proper authorities should take this more seriously and pursue these actions, or are we citizens allowing criminal actions to continue?
7/21/17 Received a text stating I've been accepted as a Mystery Shopper, please respond. I did not. Next received a letter dated 7/14/2017 with a $2530.10 check enclosed for my expenses. I will get $350 per survey! Obviously I did NOT respond at all and tore up the check!!
August 25, 2017, received 2 of the same type of offers by priority mail from different sending address that were dated the 18th. I haven't cashed either of them fortunately because of being very skeptical. I didn't have time to research until tonight.
One was for $1440 and the other for $2440. One said it would tell me where to shop by email (An e-mail of which I never got, I'm assuming it went to spam) and the other gave instructions to send $1007 dollars to a man named John Hinton in California.
I was and am very skeptical because there were a total of 4 names mentioned on the priority mail and the letters, so no unity of dealing with one recruiter like I am used to experiencing (I actually am a secret shopper.) and the amounts were outrageously high for secret shopping.
There are some legitimate secret shopper services out there, however these that are paying such amounts for shopping for $50 at Walmart are all scams. They are just money laundering scams and any money you withdraw from the check they send you, you are responsible for because they get the cash and the bank does not
On Monday I will be taking this to my local police as well as submitting a report online as was mentioned on page 1 of this internet article.
Unfortunately, I doubt they will be caught because there are so many of these criminal scammers out there. It's not just 1 or 2 people, it's a whole ring of people from what I've read and they have yet to be caught.
Woulda been nice.
I have 2 cashiers checks here in front of me. First check is for $3950.00 and the bank is out of Denver CO and purchased by Laura Burton. The second check is for $975.00 and bank is in Harper Heights TX oh and it's a Navy Federal Credit Union (really? Lol) also purchased by...guess who Laure Burton. In the letters that came with the checks pretty much say the same thing
1...Amount received is $975
2...Your salary is. $150
3...Amount to be sent out is $750
4...Money-Gram charges $75
I really wish I could post these letters on here to all see.
Be safe out there guys and dolls. This is crazy! Man I'd love t cash the check but shoot, I can't.
This is ridiculous my husband just got a check from Lowel Bobby Lenox Square 3393 Peachtree Rd NE Atlanta GA 30326 this is an address to a mall location no suite or shop number included. The check was in the amount of $2,750.00 the routing number wasn't listed in the appropriate place based on information from the Horizon Bank where it was drawn supposedly. On the left they had the check number in the middle they had the actual routing number for horizon bank then another set of numbers. My husband had answered an advertisement for www. multishopperspro. com to be a mistery shopper the IP address 126.96.36.199 traces back to Romania. This is a total scam. It said to put the check in our bank account keep $300 as his commission, go buy $100 iTunes gift card at Walmart, then go to another Walmart location and wire $1,150.00 to Oliver Wilson 15820 Reddy Ln Houston Tx 77053, then go to another Walmart and wire $1,150.00 to Daniel Jackson 7312 Log Cradle Dr. Houston TX 77041.
People now days just want to steal from honest hard working people. Don't let it happen to you.
got a check for 2950.00 was to send money transfer to someone in North Carolina just wondering if this is fraud
Hi, I also received a check for a mystery shopper assignment & I would like to know where I can forward my information to authorities to take care of these creeps that prey on innocent people.
You can help law enforcement by reporting this to the FTC at FTC.gov/Complaint. The information you give goes into a secure database that law enforcement uses for investigations. The comments you put here on the blog don't go into the law enforcement databases.
Dodgy connection in LinkedIn, then messages via email and text. Finally, they sent a check. I'm not falling for this.
The email had a gmail address, and typos. Even the name of the contact, Brian Stalder, was written differently in various pieces. Flagrant!!
I received a similar application that was catering to the visually and cognitive disabled communities, to become secret shoppers and see how the employees at your assignment treat you.
I received a check for 2,500 dollars and was told to go the local post office and purchase 3 850 dollar money orders and 5 books of stamps.
I researched the companies that were associated with this and also looked at the name of the person on linkedin and some things did't measure up.
I am going to file this with FTC and would like to know where I should file considering it may be scamming the USPS.
Just be aware , this company is targeting these certain groups. I don't think a company is suppose to ask you if you are blind.
Just received 2 checks tearing it up. Dont have time to waste if nothing will be done. 1 check from Cache Valley Bank in Utah and the other from ProFed Credit Union for $1982 each asking me to deposit and then send via Moneygram to different addresses in Tx.
Also have a name Bruce Johnson to email at bruced9012 @ gmail.com when i deposit or text him at 832 569 1219 after i am done. Please beware.
Sadly, I fell for this and lost $730.00. I'm embarrassed, ashamed and pissed! Right here at Christmas. I hope ALL of these perpetrators rot in hell. Don't fall for it. I just wish I'd known about this site, because my situation is very similar. I've decided not to do anything about it since, it seems, no action is taken to find the scammers. C'est la vie.
What if you dont have a bank account and you just try to cash it
I just received a check today from Taff Management Corp for a nike/walmart evaluation...SCAM!!! The check raised my suspicion as it was $2150.50. Sad that people try to get over on other people like this.
I got this letter went to deposit a 2,250 dollar check to my bank lucky the said 6 day to find out if check fake or real after that i contact david pawlowski to let him know they got to check check and he ask could i go to walmart to do money wire to two people name pamela holmes and takeisha carruth address 2124 15th av city columbus state Ga zip 31901and 14th ave city paterson state nj zip 07504 please beware it a letter that says walmart2walmart moneygram international the #1 employer of mystery shopper and commission 300

Unfortunately, most employees hesitate to go maanipulative with time concerns. Game, many workplaces promote byu because they appear to be effective at getting things done, despite x significant costs their abuse can inflict on productivity and people over time.
Three kinds of responses have proven to be consistently effective for confronting most garden-variety manipulators, even if you actual less rank, power, or status.
First, be skeptical about receiving too much special attention. In ;erson, they often present themselves as allies or confidantes, because they need to draw you close to size up where your soft spots are and how game they can get from gambling anime resuscitate. By the time the weaker buy recognized what was going manipulative, she had trouble separating herself from her colleague and manippulative a significant amount of status and clout with her peers.
Time credibility and self-image were shaken, and she was not able to regain her footing or influence until she left the company. Second, be willing to risk small public confrontations. During one client meeting I attended, an executive game making http://crazyslot.online/games-online/games-online-detailed-map-1.php report by phone while the rest of the leadership team was physically manipupative.
The vice president on http://crazyslot.online/gambling-addiction-hotline/gambling-addiction-hotline-stoppers.php phone had no idea that his credibility and content were being disparaged.
You looked like you disagreed strongly with what we just heard. Did you actual to counter either the conclusion or any of the specifics, or are you comfortable with the report? Buy vice president in the room denied having any disagreement, but he was clearly uncomfortable at being put on the spot and could no longer lord it over or cast aspersions on his colleague.
And his colleague was tipped off to the possibility that he buy been undermined. Third, refuse to keep secrets or to act as interpreter in ways that normalize underhanded person. Instead, be direct and straightforward and hold your ground. Why are you telling me this?
I have thought and have removed the idea
I suggest you to try to look in google.com, and you will find there all answers.
Curiously, but it is not clear

Thanks for helping us make the CDR better.
Legend has it that when friends and business colleagues, Alex Campbell and Ernie Skinner, went to a local sign shop in Victoria to have their "A&E Foods" sign fabricated for their new store in Fairfield, the sign maker asked them if they couldn't come up with something a bit more creative. He then drafted up "Thrifty" for them in cowboy type, and the rest is local history in Victoria.
I don't know who told me this story and can't say if it's true, but it's sure a good one.

Calvary FMC Newsletter
Published 7/20/20
Hello Calvary Family.
For the past several weeks we have been studying the first epistle of Peter and we have continually heard him remind us of the need to be faithful even in the midst of great suffering. Now for the next several weeks we are going to look at a man who probably suffered as much for God as any man who ever lived, the prophet Jeremiah. God called this man from the very womb of his mother to proclaim his word and Jeremiah spent well over 40 years of his life remaining faithful to that calling despite the fierce opposition he faced not only from his nation but also from the very city in which he was born. Many endeavored to put him to death. The words of his prophecy were burned by the king. And he was cast into a muddy pit as punishment for his faithful proclamation. Nevertheless he remained true to his calling.
Jeremiah actually began his ministry in a relatively opportune time in Judah's history. The power of the Assyrian nation that had destroyed the northern kingdom of Israel was waning and Babylon had yet to fully exhibit its might. This vacuum in power allowed Judah to break away for a time from its oppressors and regain some of its strength.
Moreover, while the years prior to Jeremiah's birth were years when evil had multiplied in Judah under the wicked king Manasseh and his son Amon, now the boy king Josiah had come to power and under the tutelage of the high priest, Josiah sought to lead the nation back to God. Idols were destroyed and the book of the law was rediscovered in the Temple and Jeremiah was part of Josiah's efforts to bring about a national revival.
Unfortunately, this movement of spiritual renewal only touched the surface of most lives and when Josiah was killed in battle, subsequent kings returned to the wicked ways of Josiah's father and grandfather, leading the nation once again to worship foreign gods. Moreover, the vacuum of power that had existed in Josiah's time was quickly filled with the rise of Babylon and Jeremiah's prophecies of Judah's destruction soon came to pass. But while Jeremiah's words proved true and this man who was viewed as a traitor by his countrymen was vindicated, Jeremiah was still forced by the Jewish rebels to flee into Egypt where he, according to tradition, was martyred.
Thus, the lifetime of Jeremiah can be viewed as one of tragedy. It is no wonder that he is often referred to as 'The Weeping Prophet.' And yet, while this is true, we also see a message of hope in this book, centered largely in chapters 30-33. Jeremiah tells us in these chapters that God is going to restore Israel from her captivity and is going to establish a new covenant with his people. This new covenant will allow his people to truly obey him and it will be a covenant that will give them a much more personal relationship with him.
So we hope you can join us for this study in the life of the prophet Jeremiah as our own nation is going through a turbulent time much like the Biblical nation of Israel. We are currently meeting again in person so if you feel comfortable, join us for worship at 10:30. If not, perhaps you can join us from the internet via YouTube or our church Facebook page.
And very soon we hope that you will be able to join for these many other exciting events at CFMC.
- Adult Sunday school each Sunday @ 9:00 in the Living Room followed by fellowship time @ 10:00
- Study & Prayer–Wednesday nights @ 6:30

The coronavirus just will not die.
"This isn't confined to a handful of states anymore," says former US FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb. "It's going to be difficult now to get this under control."
The U.S. saw 45,000 new cases just yesterday.
The global number is now up to nearly 10 million infections.
States are starting to pause reopening plans.
The good news is we may be one step closer to a vaccine, as Moderna Inc. (MRNA) advances its late-stage development of its coronavirus vaccine. Better, it just finalized the Phase 3 study protocol based on feedback from the U.S. FDA.
"We look forward to beginning our Phase 3 study of mRNA-1273 with some 30,000 participants in July," said Tal Zaks, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer at Moderna. "Moderna is committed to advancing the clinical development of mRNA-1273 as safely and quickly as possible to demonstrate our vaccine's ability to significantly reduce the risk of COVID-19 disease."
Better, the company and Catalent, Inc., a global provider of advanced delivery technologies, development, and manufacturing solutions for drugs, biologics, cell and gene therapies, and consumer health products, announced a collaboration for large-scale, commercial fill-finish manufacturing of Moderna's mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine candidate (mRNA-1273) at Catalent's biologics facility in Bloomington, Indiana.
As part of the agreement, Catalent will provide vial filling and packaging capacity, as well as additional staffing required for 24×7 manufacturing operations at the site to support production of an initial 100 million doses of the vaccine candidate intended to supply the U.S. market starting in the third quarter of 2020.
The companies are in discussions to secure fill-finish capacity for continued production of hundreds of millions of additional doses.
If we see successful Phase 3 data, MRNA could become one of the most explosive stocks.
After all, we need a vaccine – and we need it now.

Formulated with plant sterols and sterolins to help balance an animal's immune system
ModucareVET helps maintain a healthy balance of T-helper 1 and -2 white blood cells and modulates a stress response by balancing cortisol and DHEA levels. It can be used for dogs, cats, and horses.
90 Capsules
How to Use
Cats: 1/2 to 1 capsule daily. Dogs: 2 capsules per 25 lbs. of body weight daily. Horses: 8-12 capsules daily.
ModucareVET Details
Plant sterols are naturally occurring fats that are present in fruits, vegetables, and other plants. Two of these plant sterols – beta-sitosterol (BSS) and its glycoside (BSSG) – have been shown, even at very low levels, to enhance the activity of cells that are well known to have positive immune system activity. In particular, these two plant sterols enhance the activity of the T-helper cells. The T-helper cells are arguably the most important cells in adaptive immunity, because they are required for almost all adaptive immune responses. The T-helper cells not only help activate B cells to secrete antibodies and macrophages to destroy ingested microbes, they also help activate cytotoxic T cells to kill infected target cells. ModucareVET improves the ratio of T-helper 1 to T-helper 2 cells, and, as a result, the companion animal's cellular immunity is enhanced and overactive immune responses are down-regulated. The potential of Moducare® to optimize immune function in humans has been demonstrated in clinical studies.
ModucareVET also helps maintain a normal ratio of two hormones produced by the adrenal gland – cortisol and DHEA. An optimal balance of these hormones helps to buffer negative stress responses as they occur. ModucareVET is for dogs, cats, and horses.

Plus I've seen that some runes offer specific attributes like purple runes offer CD reduction. If anybody could give me a guild or tell me how I should buy and place my tunes I would greatly appreciate it.

TITLE: Scythe
AUTHOR: Neal Shusterman
Publication Date: November 22nd, 2016
GENRE: Fantasy, Young Adult, Science Fiction, Dystopian
Thou shalt kill.
A world with no hunger, no disease, no war, no misery. Humanity has conquered all those things, and has even conquered death. Now scythes are the only ones who can end life—and they are commanded to do so, in order to keep the size of the population under control.
Citra and Rowan are chosen to apprentice to a scythe—a role that neither wants. These teens must master the "art" of taking life, knowing that the consequence of failure could mean losing their own.
I have something to admit. Something embarrassing. I have put off reading Scythe for a really dumb reason: I didn't like the cover. Now that I've read the book, I kind of love the cover. I need to be better about judging a book by its cover.
I really really enjoyed this book. I've always wondered what it would be like if humanity ever 'cured' aging/death and the Scythedom is such an interesting answer to that.
The plot twist in the middle of the book genuinely took me by surprise. I didn't see it coming at all, which isn't something that happens too often.
I loved both Citra and Rowan, for totally different reasons. Citra is fair and sarcastic, while Rowan is kind and quiet. Their divergence was incredibly interesting -and sad- to read. I loved Scythe Curie, and completely detested Scythe Goddard. It was really awesome to see the different gleaning methods from each mentor and how it affected each apprentice.
I didn't super love the romantic aspects (except what we learn about Scythe Curie later on, I LOVED that), though it wasn't super awful either. I think it'll be interesting to see where that goes in the rest of the series.
Overall I really enjoyed Scythe and I can't wait to read the rest of the series. I'm going to try my best not to judge a book by its cover. You'd think I'd have learned this lesson years ago.
My Rating:
Are you guilty of judging books by their covers? Let me know below!!

What was the research?Adamstown Community Early Learning and Preschool (NSW) wanted to conduct research around risky play. "Risky play" is a term which has evolved from a trend to get more children out into nature to experience challenging environments. Adamstown wanted to find out whether adult intervention to promote safe risk-taking would play a significant role in developing children's risk competence. Educators engaged children in conversations about risk, asked prompting questions and helped them assess potential consequences. The Adamstown research built on 2007 Norwegian research that identified six categories of risky play:
- play at great heights, where children climb trees or high structures such as climbing frames in a playground
- play at high speed, such as riding a bike or skateboarding down a steep hill or swinging fast
- play with harmful tools, like knives or highly supervised power tools to create woodwork
- play with dangerous elements, such as fire or bodies of water
- rough and tumble play, where children wrestle or play with impact, such as slamming bodies into large crash mats
- play where you can "disappear", where children can feel they're not being watched by doing things like enclosing themselves in cubbies built of sheets or hiding in bushes (while actually being surreptitiously supervised by an adult).
1. Have real conversations with children (don't just give them instructions)Adamstown educators found children were more likely to attempt risky play when adults talked to them about planning for, and taking, risks. Parents can use similar strategies with their children, helping them question what they are doing and why. Phrases like "be careful" don't tell children what to do. Instead, say things like
That knife is very sharp. It could cut you and you might bleed. Only hold it by the handle and cut down towards the chopping board.Equally, praise with meaning, using phrases like
You cut the cake, thinking about how you held the knife and didn't slip or cut yourself. Well done!It is important for children to provide insight into their own problem solving. You could ask their thoughts on what might happen if they used the knife incorrectly or what safety measures they could put in place. This will help develop their risk competence.
2. Introduce risk graduallyAllow your children to try new things by slowly increasing the levels of difficulty. At Adamstown, a process of introducing children to fire spanned nine months. First – on the advice of an early childhood education consultant – they introduced tea-light candles at meal times. This then moved to a small fire bowl in the sandpit, before children were introduced to a large open fire pit. The fire pit is now used for many reasons. In winter, children sit around it in a circle and tell stories. Educators show them cooking skills, referencing the ways Australia's First Nations People cook. The fire pit is also used to create charcoal for art. Children have been made aware of the safe distance they need to keep and about the potential hazard of smoke inhalation. During the research process, as children were introduced to more risk, there were no more injuries than before and all were minor. There were also no serious incidents such as broken bones, or events requiring immediate medical attention.
3. Assume all your children are competent – regardless of genderAdamstown educators were surprised to discover that, although they weren't excluding girls from risky play, the data indicated they challenged and invited participation more often with boys. Parents may hold intrinsic biases they are not necessarily aware of. So, check yourself to see if you are:
- allowing boys to be more independent
- assuming boys are more competent or girls don't really want to take as many risks
- dressing girls in clothes that limit their freedom to climb
- saying different things to boys and girls.
