If you receive an email from
someone who is selling you a business opportunity and you have
not requested this information, then just hit the delete key on
you computer, or report this person to your hosting service for
sending you spam. Most legitimate business opportunities will
list in their Terms Of Service that SPAM is not tolerated and
that anyone caught doing this will have their account
terminated and will contact the appropriate authorities.
-
You visit a website who is
selling you a product, but doesn't tell you what the product is
unless you give them your contact information. I personally hate
this and usually move on.
-
There is no contact information
of the owner of the business opportunity on the website.
-
The claims and promises on the
website are unrealistic. For example, the business claims that
you will be a millionaire within one month of joining or you get
your money back. I can almost guarantee that you will never see
the refund.
-
If the Business Opportunity has a
seal from Paypal, contact Paypal and ask them if the business is
verified by Paypal.
-
Search Google for any information
if the business has any complaints against it. A great website
is
http://www.ripoffreport.com. Another website is
www.scam.com. The only caution
on forum websites is that sometimes people will claim another
business opportunity is a scam so they can promote their
business instead. Try to find as many resources as possible
about the business opportunity.
-
Contact the company directly and
ask them hard questions about the business opportunity. If they
don't respond or try not to answer your questions directly, then
move on.
-
If you receive a call from
someone you left your contact information with and they ask for
your social Security Number, ask you questions about your
salary, or promise to coach you for a fee, then DO NOT join this
business, it is a SCAM.
