Hey /biz/, I fucked up
I was contacted recently via email about a travel coordinator job, and stupidly I agreed to sign on. All I did was type my name into a PDF document (a "contract," but it had no legal binding), and now I am unable to get out of the arrangement. The scam involves the "company" mailing you hot checks that you're supposed to cash and send back a portion of, the bit that you keep being your "income."
This scammer has no personal information of mine besides my name and address (which they received from a resume prior to contacting me, they listed my address before even asking me).
They have not sent anything yet, but I am worried that they'll send me a check and I won't know what to do with it. I have emailed the guy repeatedly today and called him leaving two voicemails, all of which are requesting resignation, a termination to the agreement, and a cease and desist with all future communication.
They do not have my bank information, social, or anything private besides my name and address.
In the chance that they send me a check, am I screwed? Could legal action be taken against me for simply mailing the check back or ignoring it?
How do I get out of this? I'm freaking out even though again, they have absolutely no access to my information beyond name and address. I do not want to be wrangled into a lawsuit or something more serious.
Thank you in advance.
Online signatures matter, writing your name on a .pdf does not.
Enjoy being sent free toilet paper.

Thank you so much, this cleared my head a lot.
He just replied with a really nasty email, but I'm assuming everything is alright.
>>1155395
While the e-mail is most likely a bluff using guilt manipulation strategies, there are some dangers of having your full name and address exposed, e.g. doxxing variations if someone is particularly vengeful. Unlikely, but bear it in mind. Meanwhile,

why didn't you get into the LISK ICO /biz/?
you do know this is the hottest new coin in the crypto space right? coding in "solidity" is never gonna catch on. developers want to use a language that they already know. LISK is the future of smart contracts. get on the train while you still can
Woo! The shill train has started.
Btw, selling 2000lisk at 0.004btc/lisk
Escrow only, drop an email.
what site can you buy lisk on now i alredy have 16,000 but i want more and the ico is over
>>1155057
Im selling but the price is now 0.005btc/lisk.
How many are you after?
>34 years old
>$360,000 in cash
>no wife, no kids
>live with parents
I have $364,000 in pure cash lying around. Assume I keep $164,000 in savings and low-risk investments and I use the remaining $200,000 for day trading. How much can I expect to make?
How much capital is needed to make 100-120k/year from day trading? How about 180-200k/year? Is $200k enough?
I know almost nothing about finance or investments, but I've always been good (not gifted) at math. Before I actually started to trade, I would spend 2-3 years learning and going through text books.
>>1155000
>expect
-$200,000 per annum
If you're asking this question on /biz/, and you really do have that amount of money, then you shouldn't do it at all.
If you can't learn for yourself at the age of 34, without being redpilled, what makes you think you can make money, when 90% of people can't?
Learn now, by yourself and have some dignity.
>>1155000
Don't do textbooks. If these people were successful, they wouldn't write books for money. I'd say take 25k, put it into an investment account, and play with like 5 of it. You learn from experience.
>Had a Filipino nanny when I was a kid
>She was awesome as fuck and she was basically my 2nd mom until I was 10
>Not sure what happened but looking back I think she got deported
>Found her on friendster before (she loves social media)
>Found her now on Facebook
>She has a kid now and her deadbeat husband is in and out on child support and she struggles to make ends meet
>Will visit her in the Philippines in a few weeks!
Now I want to send her like $50 a month or some shit, it does not sound much but from where she is at (rural Philippines I am surprised she gets internet) it will go a long way.
Question;
>How do I start a fund from here (US) so I could maybe, hopefully send more?
>How much do I need as far as capital?
>Should I start a fund there? Based on my Filipino friend he said there really arent restrictions unless I want to own land
>Which fund would be wise? Or should I just open an account so she could just withdraw it there?
Cuckold lmao
Filipinos are ugly as shit
>>1154936
And? I want to help her out
>>1154938
Why?
Did she fondle your 10 year old cock or something?
Would you rather work at mcdonalds or be homeless. I have fucking dignity ok
Mcdonalds isn't even that bad
It's a fun place to work, really laid back
>>1154807
what are you, retarded?
>>1154819
Are you an embarrassed millionaire NEET?
McDonald's is one of the least demanding workplaces ever. The standard is so low that unless you literally jack off in the food you'll just be a regular employee.
Add in the fact that most people there are young(highschool/college students) and it results in one of the most chill workplaces possible.
Whatever tho, keep thinking you're "worth" $30/hr minimum despite having no skills
So now that it's over how much did you put in and how much Lisk did you end up with?
Put i. 0.1 BTC in the first week and got around 8k, end up with roughly 500 today
>>1154543
0.5
>>1154555
I was about the same. put in 0.10549624 BTC ended up with 602.67603398 LISK. Was over 1300 when I initially bought in.

Why aren't you watching martin Shkreli's finance lessons? It's almost like you don't want to know how to properly invest and hopefully become wealthy.
Hmmm let's see
>Extremely basic, yet he presents it in such a smug and condescending way
>Literally all his hedge funds went broke
>He went from $40mm in his broker account to $5mm
>Investing is for NEETs who think 2% higher returns per year on their <$10k than index investing is going to make them rich
>>1153786
That's enough, Martin. There must be some better way to spend your time.
Investing beyond the low cost index funds isn't worthwhile for regular people. The simplest advice is essentially as effective as something complicated which requires effort.
Should I out that I'm in the National Guard on my resume? The job I have in it is relevant to the jobs I'm applying to.
>>1153741
>specialize in the act of strategically killing and harming others
>expect skills useful in a governmental job sphere to be as useful in a voluntary free market, not predicated on coercion
If you're applying for a job as a security guard or a police officer, go ahead.

Anyone have any decent SEO tips/guides for YouTube? Googling only brings up shitty products and I can't be bothered to sift through the bs on blogs/forums.
Created a channel for fun and the only other channels in the niche are either good content, shitty SEO/keywords, or vice verca. My content is even better than the best in the niche, and I'd like to get to the top of the niche as quickly as possible.

Sry, got rid of Skype a while ago. If you're looking to partner or something I wouldn't really be up for it anyway. Not doing this for profit as the niche is small and I have no idea how big it will get on YouTube anyway.

how do those people make sense of these numbers? how the hell do rich people gets away with everything? i swear to god the burden of payment will one way or another transfer all the way to tax payers.
U mad
>>1152359
yes, are you not? i guess if you have more than 100 million dollars it wouldn't mean much to you.
Both were celebrity personalities who's entire career and earning potential is dependant on their image. Although your opinion of them may not be a negative as a result of their respective incidents, I can say with 100% certainty that you didn't care or contribute to their celebrity before.
Like it or not, some people get to be celebrities thanks to followings from really retarded people and really retarded things like nudity will tarnish their reputation to those people. Thus they have a right to be compensated for an estimate of that loss of reputation when it happens because of another party violating the law.
And the numbers are not arbitrary. They will be based on some projection, and although it could be overvalued, no one really has anyone of knowing the true cost because what's done is done.

Real story.
Had several interviews at a large multinational firm. In one of them they really grilled me and I wasn't expecting it at all, in fact I got so nervous I asked if we could start over and they said sure. After that though I was much more calm and it went way better. I actually learned a lot of good answers in that interview, and I ended up being offered a position above the one I was interviewing for.
>>1152429
Damn what kind of questions do they ask when they want to "grill" you?
