Five Scams you'll want to Avoid
Many websites claim to offer home business opportunties. Some
people do make money at home through online jobs, but many of
these so-called opportunities are scams. How do you know the
difference? Here are some tips for avoiding home business scams.
First, use some common sense. If you are looking because you're
short on funds, it can be easy to talk yourself into believing
the promises you will read online. Try to look at the offers
objectively. Many scams try to convince you that you will become
wealthy with little effort, and you might even see on the
website that this is some "secret" for making money that is just
now being revealed. Much later they reveal the cost for learning
the secret. Before buying this kind of information, take a
moment to wonder why it's being sold. If it's really that
effective, the person selling it should be wealthy and not need
to sell anything.
Second, don't get involved in a pyramid scheme. These are
programs that pay you to recruit but don't really have a product
to sell. You make money by getting other people to join the
system. This only works for those who start the pyramid scheme,
and is illegal in several states. Note that this is not the same
as home party or similar plans where you get a percentage from
what you sell in addition to a percentage from those you recruit.
Third, don't pay to stuff envelopes or make products. In fact,
don't pay to work for anybody.
Forth, getting paid to do Survey's. While some companies may pay
you, I have found that the majority do not. They offer a entery
into a sweepstakes where "you could win" but in my experience
the sweepstakes even has a catch as well where if you do win
they want you to pay a registration fee of let's say $600.00
then you will get the "All inclusive trip for 2 to the
Bahama's". Don't buy into it. There are way better things to
waste your time on.
And lastly, anything witht the word "Blaster" in it is a SCAM,
unless you want your email filling up with spam don't do it. I
had a campaign with Ad Blaster and I'm still unsubscribing to
spammers.
Avoiding home business scams means avoiding anything that offers
easy wealth. It also means avoiding paying to work for somebody.
Don't expect anything online that makes no sense in the real
world. Don't get scammed.
