What I would do if I were to entertain such a deal is to open a checking account where limited funds were deposited, just enough to cover the $50. so that my money would be safe, something similar to when you travel and not use your primary account in the event it is lost, stolen or hijacked. I would not even want a trip that badly as to give out my personal account information or social security information. I have received 2 such offers and always toss them for fear of scams!
