People of their word

I have been on disability for almost 10 yrs and Mike quite a bit shorter then that. And if there is one thing that we have painfully discovered is that there is no way we can live on our disability. We just found out today that the government in its infinite wisdom has decided that we need to pay out $95 a month for Medicare. Mike will opt out of Medicare because he has the VA, but I have to have this and we can ill afford to loose close to 100 dollars a month. So to this end we have been trying to get some work at home gigs going. We thought we had a sure thing going. About a month ago we got a free dinner and had to listen to a sales pitch for Master Guard fire alarms. To make a long story short Mike got a job offer from one of the gentleman in charge of selling this Master Guard alarms. It took us two weeks just to get an interview set up with this guy. He tells Mike that he will pay to get us set up with Ignite Electric(another long story), give Mike a cell phone to make calls and contacts to call. We were suppose (according to this bozo) be able to make good money. Well we were suckered. The old adage that if it sounds too good to be true it probably isn't proved true to us. Mike has been calling this guy leaving phone messages at his home and on his cell phone and has been sending him emails but he has not bothered to return one phone call. Not even a "Hey I'm really busy but I haven't forgotten about you". So Mike is going to call this guy and tell him to stuff his job where the sun doesn't shine. And we were really counting on this money to pay bills and pay to bring Tara & Elisa out here for the summer. We are currently talking to a lady online who will pay us for posting on forums. I can only hope that this isn't a scam either. If it is we will be in a world of hurt. It is frustrating and annoying to have people tell you something and not keep their word. I can't stand liars.
