Anything's possible, although such an instance would be highly unlikely. However, there's always the potential for a freak accident.

How can you protect yourself from a Job Scam?
If you are suspicious about a business's practices, call the Better Business Bureau for your area.
Tips From the Denver Post:
Tips for job-seekers• Never pay an upfront fee to anyone guaranteeing to find you work. A company or career counselor can receive money only once they've placed you in a job.• Be suspicious of unsolicited calls and e-mails offering work.
• In the application stage, never give out bank-account or credit-card information or a Social Security number. Be wary of job descriptions that require you to use your own bank accounts to process company work.
• Be suspicious of jobs involving financial services that don't require an interview.
• If a job offer seems too good to be true, it probably is. Check out companies with their own websites and at the Colorado secretary of state's office.

What is the effect of electric shock on a person?
Electric shock has a negative effect on human organism. Your skin gets burn-like wounds and your nervous system can get severely damaged too.
That includes the part of the nervous system that controls your breathing, heartbeats, muscles etc... So in effect electric shock can cause ventricular fibrillation and stop your heart from beating.
If you are trying to save a person suffering from such injuries make sure you don't touch him while he is still in closed electrical circuit, you can break the circuit by shutting down the power, pushing or hitting the person with a heavy object might do the trick because he/she might let go of the object that is shocking him (but this doesn't mean that you get to throw a stone in his head). Your last solution should be running and jumping into him because you might close the circuit yourself and get seriously injured.

Personal security virus registry files to be removed?
Some folks might be fooled by the fact that Personal Security acts as if it is a real Personal Securityus program. Personal Security is actually a virus that infects your system and then pretends that it will remove the infections for a fee. Those so-called infected files were actually created by Personal Security for the purpose of persuading all those unsuspecting victims that the threats are real and they should purchase its so-called "full version".
Don't fall for the hoax. Not only can this virus can shut down your system but it will also steal personal information. Run a scan on your system and remove this virus automatically. You can also do the manual removal yourself by removing Personal Security registry files. I would personally recommend this site for a detailed removal instruction: http://www.spyware-fix.net/remove-personal-security.html
How do you remove personal security?
If it will not let you download anything then its 2 late! Have to wipe the hard drive and reinstall your op system. And I can bet that you got this virus from myspace or facebook. They are crawling with this virus that also uses the name antivirus2009, antivirus2010, and more. My advice: NEVER click on a popup even if it looks like a windows communication!
Personal Security is a fake virus scanner that disables the use to open any programs such as Microsoft office and the internet. When Personal Security starts it shows messages of how many Trojans, Viruses, Worms, Minespams and other viruses that harm your computer. Do not believe these messages as they are fake. It says to pay $80 a month, this money will go straight to the scammers and they will take control of your computer and delete all your important details.
Personal Security blocks your applications and programs until the fake antivirus is deleted. To delete this program you must go into your local disk and find the PS folder. There will be a shortcut to uninstall the program. Double click it and after it has been uninstalled restart your computer,
