While there are many lucrative home based opportunities on the
Internet, there are also many scams that one must be aware of in their
quest for a home business. Scam artists are in abundance, and just
waiting for someone who is hopeful - and inexperienced - to happen by.
Don't let it be you!
Of course, there are scam artists who target those who want to start
their own home based business, but there are also scam artists who
target average computer users around the world. These scam artists are
adept at creating web sites that look and feel just like the web sites
that you commonly use. For example, they can make an exact duplicate
site of your banks web site, in an attempt to trick you into providing
them with your username and password, or other sensitive data, such as
your account number or credit card number.
In home based business scams, however, things work a bit differently.
In this case, the scammer simply wants you to give him your money, in
exchange for a load of lies and unfulfilled promises. He doesn't need
your bank account information, he just needs payment, which
inexperienced hopeful people will happily give him. He will take your
money knowing that he is crushing your dreams and draining your bank
account - and he won't care.
Protecting Yourself from Business Opportunity Scams
So, how can you protect yourself from these scammers? The first step
is to use good, sound common sense. As always, if something sounds too
good to be true, it probably is. Learn to recognize hype, and to avoid
offers that are 'hyped.' Hype means that outlandish promises are being
made. For example, a scammer might promise you that you can make tens
of thousands of dollars in just a few short days, with little or no
work. That is a common ploy used in scammy home based business
advertisements.
Research the Company
Before you invest your hard earned money in any business opportunity,
you need to fully research the company. Check with the Better Business
Bureau first to see if there are any negative reports. You can also
pay for a basic background check, which generally costs less than
twenty bucks. A great deal can be learned from such basic information.
Personal Information
Use a post office box, instead of your home address, and never give
out personal details if you can avoid it. However, when doing business
online, many times you will need to provide personal information. When
doing so over the Internet, make sure that the site is secure by
ensuring that the web site address in your address bar begins with
https://, instead of just http://.
Read the Fine Print
Read everything, including the fine print, and make sure that you
don't pay for anything until you have read all agreements and such.
You should know exactly what you are paying for, before you send that
payment. If possible, ask to talk directly with other people who have
invested in the business opportunity, and verify who they are. Note
that a scammer can put people up to telling you anything that they
think that you want to hear, but often, when asked for references and
such, a scammer will move on.
Common Sense
Once again, use good common sense in all transactions, and trust your
instincts. If it feels wrong, it probably is. If it sounds too good to
be true, it probably is. If you are unsure, do not move forward until
you are sure. The right business opportunity will come along, but by
paying attention, and knowing what to be on the lookout for, you won't
spend a great deal of time or money investing in business scams.
