The internet is littered with every kind of con and scam you can imagine.
There are the Nigerian 419 schemes, forced matrix ‘opportunities’ that would max out the entire human population in just a few short ‘levels’ if enough people fell for them, there are pay per click and Adsense scams, fake mlm and network marketing ‘opportunities’, and the list goes on and on…
Desperate home-based business seekers become easy prey for vultures pushing scam products and fake ‘opportunities’.
An often overlooked tell tell sign that an ‘opportunity’ is a scam are the products themselves.
- Are the products truly valuable? Can the products be sold without the ‘opportunity’ attached to it? If the answer is no then use the RLH formula for protecting your wallet. RLH stands for run like you-know-what (heck).
- Also, look to see if there are outrageous fees or ‘qualifiers’ before you can receive a penny in pay.
- And finally, does the program tell you EXACTLY what you will receive a commission for promoting, before they take your money? I’ve lost track of the hundreds of scams that have been sent to me saying ‘give us $39 and we’ll tell you what this biz opp is’.
RLH!!!
Those are the three most common give aways that a program is a scam.
Many programs openly violate those standards and are easy to spot:
1) crappy products that are unsaleable apart from the biz opp
2) scam qualifiers that prevent you from getting paid even if you do somehow find someone to buy what you are selling
3) the company ‘hides’ the product until you cough up cash to find out what it is
I joined my first biz opp around 1976. I was 12 or 13 years old. From then until I “wised up” in the 80′s I had joined hundreds of programs purchased through direct mail offers, income opportunity mags, and joined half a dozen mlm programs promoted by friends, family, and in some cases complete strangers.
I wasted money on envelope stuffing schemes, ‘blind ads’ for business opportunities that were nothing more than vague marketing plans for hypothetical ‘business start up plans’ that required coming up with 5-10 times the average national income in America at the time just to test and see if the idea would work or not. Of course, you couldn’t get a refund without trying the unreasonable and unproven ideas, so yeah, I got screwed on those purchases.
I’ve tried forced matrix systems with crappy info products and health products. Online and offline chain letter schemes.
And the list goes on an on.
Fortunately it only took a few short years to come up with my list of ‘red flag’ identifiers for recognizing potential scams.
Times right now are hard. The economy is in a slump. Gas prices are on the rise and so are home foreclosures.
People are desperate for something that will put money in their pockets quickly. That desperation has put a target on their forehead for scam artists and hucksters of all sorts. Others are not so desperate but are still looking for ways to increase their income without much hassle or work.
If either of those scenarios apply to you I suggest taking a look at the New Business Building Kit. It pays 100% Commissions to affiliates for referring the product to business owners.
The kit is a real product that was being sold prior to changing the kit into an affiliate reseller program. There are no qualifiers to receive a commission other than successful sell and postal delivery of the product to the buyer.
To learn more about the affiliate program and how to earn commissions from promoting the product, just go to New Business Building Kit sales page and scroll to the bottom. Click the link at the bottom that says, “Affiliates”. There you will learn how to earn 100% commissions without the risks and hassles others are facing with scam ‘opportunities’.
