Strategies How To Avoid and Recognize the Scams

These few points should help you to analyze work from home opportunities and decide for yourself if they are legitimate or scams. I urge you to read all of the articles listed here before even considering any work from home offers.
Although I have tried to be thorough, realize that there is no way to cover everything. Use your common sense and that of your closest friends. Don't be shy about asking two friends for their opinions. If you're an optimist that refuses to see the negative in anything, chances are one of your friends isn't.

Unfortunately, more work from home scams exist than legitimate job listings.
How do you determine which ones are frauds and which ones are genuine? First, you need to spend some time researching the program and getting all the details before you spend a penny. Don't rush into anything, no matter how short lived the position might seem. The time you spend in advance will save you in the end.

Here are some general rules to remember:

  • Use common sense. If it sounds too good to be true, it is. Be carefully of listings that guarantee you wealth or financial success or that will help you get rich fast from home. They will probably do none of the above.

  • Take your time. Promoters of fraudulent business opportunities are likely to use high-pressure sales tactics to get you to buy in.

  • Consider the figures they present as the top 0.01% not the averages. If they say people are making $50-$100 a day, figure that only one out of a thousand people are making that. The other 999 people are making considerably less.

  • Get all the details before you spend any money.

  • Know who you are dealing with. Make sure you have an address and a contact number. Call the number and see if it is in service. Google the address. Is it a legitimate address, is it a postal mailbox, or is an empty lot?

  • Nothing will make you tons of money overnight. Sorry.

  • Be aware of legal issues. Some types of work require licenses or certification and cannot be done at home. Check with your state and local offices. Look for the nearest local Department of Labor in the government listings of your phone book or search engine.

  • Know the companies refund policy. If you have to buy equipment or supplies, ask whether you can return them for a refund and under what circumstances you can do so.

  • Do your own research on all opportunities. There are many resources available to provide good advice and lists of scams as well as legitimate opportunities.

Governmental watchdogs

There are several sites from Governmental watchdogs that can help you identify legitimate businesses and differentiate them from fraudulent ones.

  • The Better Business Bureau: This is probably the most well-known of all the organizations that help to protect you.
    They offer valuable resources and information on all types of businesses. It can be tricky to find the information in the searches, so do multiple searches until you find it.

  • The Federal Trade Commission: Do a search for here and you can get a ton of information. Among the wealth of info you can find out which companies are being or have been investigated and/or taken to court by the FTC.

  • National Fraud Information Center: Provides lots of valuable resources about all sorts of scams including: telephone, mail, and online scams.

  • Also check with the state Attorney General's office and the consumer protection agency in your area and the area where the promoter is based to learn whether there are any unresolved complaints about the business opportunity or the promoter.
    While complaints may alert you to problems, the absence of complaints does not necessarily mean the company is legitimate. Unscrupulous companies may settle complaints, change their names or move to hide a history of complaints.

  • Finally, do a search on Google and Yahoo! to see if you can find any positive or negative comments. You can also check out Scam.com.
    This is actually a free public bulletin board that allows people to post their experiences with a variety of different scams.
