Are there any scholarships or foundations that may help fund an unpaid internship for a non-student?
I recently graduated un 2010 and have been unable to find work in my field of interest. I have the possibility of an unpaid internship in Washington D.C. to work on environmental conservation policy. Typically, interns that are students get scholarships or financial aid from their school to pay for housing and cost of living for the internship. Since I am not a student, I cannot get financial aid and do not qualify for many of the scholarships and grants that are out there. Does anyone know of foundations or erudition programs I may apply to for help despite not being technically enrolled? I’ve tried local non-profits and rotary/lions clubs in my area but haven’t received any help.An unpaid internship for a non-student, whether graduated or not, is simply a job without pay and with no chance for progress with the establishment. There is really no reason for any foundation or charity to extend funding to you, above all since there are so many pressing needs for their limited funds. I suggest you get a real job, whether in your “field of interest” or not.
How do I report someone like this so that they don’t scam some poor soul for a bank account number?
I received this letter today. No I don’t want to answer it but how can I get this fraud. Dear Friend, I am writing this letter in confidence believing that if it is the wish of God for you to help me and my family, God almighty will bless and reward you aboundantly and you would never regreat this. I am a female student from University of Burkina-Faso, Ouagadougou. I am 25 yrs ancient. I’d like any person who can be caring, loving and home oriented. I will like to have a long-term link with you and to know more about you. I want to build up a solid foundation with you in time coming if you can be able to help me in this transaction. Well, my father died earlier two months ago and left I and my junior brother behind. He was a king, which our town citizens titled him over sixteen years before his death. I was a princess to him and I am the only person who can take care of his wealth now because my junior brother is still young and my mother is not literate enough to know all my father’s wealth. He left the sum of USD 7,350, 000.00 dollars (seven Million, Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand US Dollars)in a security company. This money was annually paid into my late fathers account from Shell petroleum development company(spdc)and chevron oil company operating in our locality for the compensation of youth and community development in our rule. I don’t know how and what I will do to invest this money somewhere in abroad, so that my father’s kindred will not take over what belongs to my father and our family, which they were plotting to do without my present because I am a female as stated by our culture in the town. Now, I urgently need your humble help to go this money from the security company to your bank account and I strongly believe that by the grace of God, you will help me invest this money wisely. I am ready to pay 20% of the total amount to you if you help us in this transaction and another 10% interest of Annual After Income to you, for handling this transaction for us, which you will strongly have absolute control over. If you can handle this project sincerely and also willing to help me in lifting this fund, kindly reach me. Please, note that this transaction is 100% risk free and I hope to commence the transaction as quick as possible, I will send you my picture as soon as I hear from you. Please you should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter writing me to my private email address:princess_sandrauyalor00@latinmail.com. I am waiting to hearing from you. Yours Sincerely, Princess Sandra Uyalor (Ms)Sounds like a scam. Don’t do it

Hi! This is the most questioned ansd answered question in India. Nearly everybody seems to have an answer. All the new HRD ministers have to say something and reform something in the IITs. This has resulted in a clout of coaching institutes and all authors guranteeing success.Here are some of the mythbusters: 1. You must be intelligent and willing to work very hard. 2.

Medical Help for Stage 2 Chronic Leukemia?
I have a friend whom I have been helping for several months. He is battling with curable stage 2 chronic leukemia. But, because he is the eldest and both his parents are dead, he has to deal with the cancer by himself. I helped. But my resources are limited and the treatment is so costly. He just graduated from a criminology school on which he alone supported by being a working student. Sadly, after his graduation, his body succumb to leukemia. Now he is just waiting for his time because he does not have any means to continue his costly medication. Is there a foundation or charity establishment who can help him?Ι reckon it is better seeing a doctor in person to answer this kind of questions.

One more thing, this is simliar to 419 scams.
If you received this letter by e-mail you can report it to the FBI’s internet fraud division.
If you received this letter through regular mail, report it to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
You’re right this is a scam to get your acct nos. The number of the FBI is in the phone book. Call them, they will help you stop these people
Snopes.com is a wonderfull website that is dedicated to internet scams, and mail fraud scams. If you write to them they can help get the word out for you
Junk mail. I get about 200 of those types of emails that go straight to my junkmail folders every week.
Now me on the other hand. I’m not sure God will be happy for you if you did it, but I could use some money too. hehe.
This year alone I have received literally hundred and hundreds of similar scam emails. It is infuriating that some poor suckers still fall for them. You can report them to their ISP but they will only open up a new account.
You can (if you are brave) string them along and make them think you are going to send them money and ‘advance fees’ to release their fictious millions to waste their time so they are diverted from duping other people out their savings. See this excellent site:
http://www.419eater.com
But the best thing to do is spread the word that these emails are scams (like I am doing here), delete them and not reply. The people who send them out may seem stupid but they ARE dangerous criminals and some people have lost all their life savings and, in some cases, their lives.
all these types of emails are scams
people in foreign countries need help transferring money or telling you that youve won a lottery (that you didnt even enter), telling you that you are the soul heir to money, they are all scams.
i dont know how you can bust them or if its even worth the effort just dont fall for it.
i guess if you really wanted to bust them you can call the authorities and begin go along with it with thier help then maybe they can do something.
good luck
