I fill like it is time to vent a little here now. Let me explain what I am talking about.

Last year, in May to be exact, I did a very stupid thing. I got cought up in an e-mail scam. I received some checks in the mail with the instructions to cash them, keep a percentage for myself, then quick collect the rest of the money to another location. The checks looked real to me. So like an idiot, I cashed some of them. About an hour or so later I was arrested for cashing a forged instrument. I was sentenced to 100 hours of community service and 3 years probation.

Now if that isn't bad enough. I lost the job that I had before this happened. And since then every place that I have gone to apply for work, I get told that they can not hire me because I have a criminal record.

How on earth can I prove to society that I have learned my lesson, and nothing like this will ever happen again, if no place is willing to hire me.

The courts put us back into society, and expect us to be productive members of society, than no one gives us a chance. So what is a person supposed to do? So how do you prove yourself, if nobody will give you the chance.

I know that I did wrong. And I have promised the court, my wife and my family that nothing like this will ever happen again. So if there is any one with any constructive suggestions I would really appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks for your time. And thanks in advance for any help anyone may give from this.

Now before I go, take my addvise. do not get involved with anything that comes to you in your e-mail. Unless you know that it is legit.
