Homeworking Scam Cons Mum (from Oxford Mail)
Homeworking Scam Cons Mum (from Oxford Mail): "A mother who wanted to earn extra money for Christmas fell victim to a home-working scam.
Grace Dale, of Stanway Close, Witney, answered an advert earlier this month offering readers as much as £3,000 per month for typing and mailing envelopes.
The 34-year-old part-time admin worker said: 'I just wanted extra money for Christmas. I have a two-year-old daughter and it was just to buy extra bits and pieces for her.'

Mrs Dale spotted the advert in the Oxford Mail and, as instructed, texted her name and address to a mobile number.
A letter was sent asking her to pay a registration fee of £15, which she sent by cheque - deciding that if it was a con, £15 wasn't too much to lose.
But she said after not hearing anything for a week, she phoned the company. She said: 'The man said that quite a few people had had the cheque go missing so he asked me to pay by card.'
But the day after the phone call she was contacted by her bank who asked her if she or her husband had withdrawn £1,200 from her account."
