I couldn't tell 100% whether it was AI or canned responses from people with little or no understanding of English. That makes more sense. Thanks for the info - there's only so much research I cared to do but at least this scam is exposed for what it is. Sweet!

It reminded me of AI that appeared on a Macintosh program a long time ago, can't remember the name (some female name... Eliza?) I found out about this scam by questioning what I read and doing a quick analysis of the source code of the web page. I've done some coding in addition to working as an attorney. I read the New York Post every once in a while and they are dumping tons of these ads as pop unders - today its a proliferation of jennifersmoneyblog. Similar web template, same story losing her job and now making over $9,000 a month... and then the check pictures are exactly the same as Josh's etc. - a check for $5,300.04!

I was really excited to see how it works (the supposed "real person") and it reminds me of a AI that I worked with before. It doesn't even answer questions that are legitimate. This was disappointing. How did you find out about this? I just got someone post on my blog as spam to one of these websites. No, I doubt that the instant messenger connects us to a real person.
