Oh okay - I understand...about the word, "cos"...

The reason I said that is because I spoken with a few that speaks like that long time ago and they are not someone you want to work with!! :0)

Thanks for writing, Kathie, I hear you! I like how you word things. Common sense.

You're most welcome Yvonne. My grown daughters use 'cos - a lot of their friends speak that way and it's used as SMS speak for cell phones. I must admit that sometimes I use it too - mainly through laziness when speaking with my kids or others.

True - we tend to use slang a lot! :0)

Well, it is another disappointment, as it is a no go...

Hopefully, better one next time!

Hi Yvonne, for other VAs who may be contacted by this person - can you give us any details about how you found them, or they found you? Was it a Craigslist ad?
Thank you!

Yep, total scam I got something similar a few weeks back. I mean what legitimate company would want you to randomly handle their payments?
