Hello,
My name is Bridget Hall,I am an artist. I live in United Kingdom,with my two kids,four cats, one dog and the love of my life. It is definitely a full house. I have been doing artwork since I was a small child. That gives me about 23 years of experience. I majored in art in high school and took a few college art courses.Most of my work is done in either pencil or airbrush mixed with color pencils. I have recently added designing and creating artwork on the computer.I have been selling my art for the last 3years and have had my work featured on trading cards, prints and in magazines.I have sold in galleries and to private collectors from all around the world.I am always facing serious difficulties when it comes to selling my art works to Americans,they are always offering to pay with a US POSTAL MONEY ORDER,which is difficult for me to cash here in United Kingdom.I am looking for a representative in the states who will be working for me as a partime worker and i will be willing to pay 10% for every transaction,which wouldnt affect your present state of work,someone who would help me recieve payments from my customers in the states.I mean someone that is responsible and reliable,cause the cost of coming to the state and getting payments is very expensive,i am working on setting up a branch in the states,so for now i need a representative in the united states who will be handling the payment aspect.
These payments are in money order and they would come to you in your name, so all you need do is cash the money order deduct your percentage(10%) and wire the rest back. But the problem i have is trust,But i have my way of getting anyone that gets away with our money,i mean the FBI branch in Washington gets involved. It wouldnt cost u any amount,u are to receive payments which will be sent to u by fedex or usps from my business patners, which would come in form of a money order then u are to cash it and send the cash to me via western union money transfer or moneygram money transfer,all transfer fees should be deducted from the money.
If you are interested,please get back to me as soon as possible
with these information listed below:
1.Full Name(s)
2.Phone number
3.Full Home Address (zipcode inclusive)
4.Age and Sex
5.Indicate if you have a Wells Fargo account,otherwise whats the name of

I am tired of dealing with outsourced workers. Now, I understand why industry does this. In America we want a decent wage for our time. We want benefits, time off, paid holidays and more. Other countries are happy with a small amount of money since it buys them so much more.
I’ve talked to many people who are outsource workers. My web designer, is in fact outside the USA. I hired him based on his skill and his pricing. For what he charges me for 10 websites I’d pay someone else the same amount for a single website, for the same comparable work. I’ve talked to programmers in India who work for $5 an hour and they know guys in the USA who get 20 times that and more. But, they can make $50 in a day and that can pay their bills for a month. In the USA it pays a days’ worth of bills.
So, I understand it, but don’t like it. When I call for tech support, for instance, I need someone who speaks English and understands it. I don’t want to be put on hold while as they tell me they need to go look up the answer. I don’t like having to have them repeat themselves since I can’t clearly understand them. I don’t like having to repeat myself over and over to try to make them understand what I need.
I spent 45 minutes on the phone last night with 3 outsourced workers in India. I called to ask a simple question. They asked me everything but my middle name, tried to get me to make changes to a computer system with no issues and at the end I simply lost patience, said “this is not working, good night” and hung up the phone. The language barrier was just too frustrating for me.
