Internet Work At Home Scams-Little toads in a big pond

Could be an online advertisement for an e-book on the subject to avoid Internet work at home scams started asking me about how dangerous working at home on the Internet. I stumbled across ad by accident. I have to confess that was doing just what I advise all other non-allowing me to get sidetracked in the middle of doing some work rather than make a bookmark and returning later!.

An announcement saying something along the lines of "secret tips to prevent scammers" caught my eye.Forget all about the fate of feline nosey, clicked the ad and started reading what turned out to be a long sales letter for an e-book for download on the subject to avoid Internet work at home scams. That was a fatal error, because there's no stopping halfway through me: if I want the product or not, I just have to read to the end.

The discovery that the author was asking just short of $ 25 for an e-book about Internet scams, made me wonder if this could be a scam. You'll see it all the time on the Internet: people offer to sell you e-books containing "secrets", but when you download the book that you find it full of tips that should be obvious to anyone with half a brain cell and information that you could pick up online for free. Would this be just another case of a promise to sell secrets that prove to be no more than a collection of free information, much of which is absolutely obvious?I'll never know unless someone tells me because I have no intention of paying to download this e-book simply to satisfy one's curiosity. If not recognize most types of Internet scam after being online for more than two years ... In fact, I'd still be here if I couldn't recognize them until now.

How to avoid Internet scams is a lesson I learned without the benefit of an e-book telling me how to do it.Most of the lesson was easy and came free as one of the advantages of being a compulsive reader: this involved tons of free articles read.If you type "Internet scams" into a search engine, you will find hours of fascinating reading.

Another part of the lesson came through purchase in some scam programs (you know, the old too good to be true syndrome) and realizing the resources to avoid when considering future programs. This part was not free (ouch!), but these were errors of the first days and although they look foolish, now, is easy to understand as they happened. I suppose experience qualifies me to become the author of my e-book "scams, how to avoid Internet work at home", but does the world need another book on the subject to avoid work at home scams? How big is the problem of work at home scams?

The values I found were pretty amazing: in 2005, fraud complaints received by the FTC were divided as follows:

1. identity theft-37%

2. Internet Auctions-12%

3. offers of money abroad-8%

4. Shop-at-Home/Catalog sales-8%

5. Prizes/Sweepstakes and Lotteries-7%

6. Internet services and Computer complaints-5%

7. Credit protection – 2% and pre-rate of loans

8. Business Opportunities and work-at-Home plans-2%

9. phone Services-2%

10. Other-17%

The numbers do not distinguish between Internet work at home scams and offline, work at home scams, but it is probably a safe bet that most of that 2% of complaints concern the Internet-based work at home scams.

Seeing the work at home scams put into perspective makes working on the Internet seems much less dangerous. less dangerous that is beyond the fact that working at home on the Internet will inevitably lead us in situations where we could become prey to thieves and are plummeting real in our pool. identity theft is much more frightening than Internet scams, work from home if you're mistaken will probably cost you very little unless you're very unlucky. sometimes loss won't even be financially, will involve time waster. If, however, become victim of identity theft, you could find themselves penniless and in prison, even though you're completely innocent of any crime.

No, I don't think I would pay for a book on the theme of work at home scams but a book about identity theft? now that is a different story.

Who is novel or dating scams are directed at?

Incidence of romance or dating scams have been increasing since arrived at public knowledge
not too long ago. Yet, many people in the Western world are yet to grasp the reality
the fact that this seems to be increasing.Maybe, because most of
people who lose money to these scams don't speak about their losses. many people prefer
to support the financial losses in silence, rather than disclose to any other party.

On the other hand, in Nigeria and other places where the scammers operate large
amounts of dollars are being received daily against the blows. in the third week of March, for example, a young 20 year old, fetching only admission at the University, deceived 5000 pounds
a middle aged woman in the United Kingdom. He's not the only one that collecting such amounts
meetings or romance scams. Daily, in thousands of cafes across Nigeria, especially, the Southwest and other West African countries, tens of thousands of young people are actively working on fraud, looking for victims.

But then the question arises-who makes the scammers to target their activities They just pick on? anyone anywhere, or do they have a certain set of people that they focus on defraudá them your money?

From what I could gather in my research, here are the main types of people that fraud is focused on:

1. solitary elderly and other groups: men looking for companionship and elderly are believed to be especially vulnerable to scams. They are believed to be soft in heart and willing to part with your money in exchange for romantic affection and attention.

Other groups of people loners are also a target.His loneliness makes them need some form of company, which cannot be readily available around in your immediate environment and that the scammers provide promptly.

2. Separated women, women recently divorced and similar are easy targets of scammers. the trauma of his divorce or separation makes you vulnerable to online scams.The scammers hunt in various online dating sites for women like these.

3. people of overweight: these are people set about the easiest way to the destination and fraud, according to the scammers. it seems that some people with overweight need someone to admire them and love them as they are.

And it also appears that some of them are emotionally insecure. and it seems that, as a result of this, some obese women seem to do anything holding on to a man, even if they don't know if it is real. it seems that he is her feeling of insecurity and its need for acceptance that often is exploited to get their money.

4. People Looking For Sex: many adult sites are a special target of scammers. scammers show naked photos of themselves and engage in sexual acts with the persons who are in the site.

Generally, people deceived through adult sites never reveal that they were wrong or keep their losses themselves. all interviewed who lost money for fraud through this medium refused to give numbers ofpeople scams as they were living with AIDS and differently abled people are also a target the blows.

This is not an exhaustive list of those being targeted by fraud. These happen to be the most popular target of scammers.

The best way to deal with online dating scams or romance is how the scammers operate and be wise as to his ways. educate yourself about these scams helps you learn how to prevent this from happening to you.

Why work at Home Scams Fail

You probably know how to spot a work at home scam and they are bad because you never will earn them money and they will end up costing you money and wasting time. You know, though, why they fail? Understand why fail blows can help you big time when new blows came to market. There are constantly new blows developed and not everyone can be something you've heard of. That is why the more you know about frauds, the better chance you have of avoiding them.

What classifies a scam?

A scam is a work at home opportunity where the company or the person behind it is out making money per se.They never intend on people who work for them to earn money.

A scam is also sorted by the fact that there is no real products or products sold are useless garbage. There is no real opportunity for this business never go anywhere or be successful.

A scam is not an opportunity that simply doesn't work for you. If you don't make money, but it is possible that you can earn money can then be not the opportunity that you have a problem.

Weaknesses of a scam

Perhaps the weakness of a scam is the fact that there is no product to sell. When you have no product there is no income.Basically the income that has only a scam that go off is the money that people pay to be part of the scam.

Blows fail because people realize that it is a scam and stop paying for it. eventually, the money stops coming in and the person who initiated the scam bails out.The whole operation crumbles and all victims are left out of the money paid in with little or nothing to show for it.

In General, the blows are weak.They have no real Foundation of the company.They have no goals and they have nothing to work with. they are just as strong as the owner who has to create a large advertising campaign to keep them.

The Ultimate End

As mentioned, eventually all blows will die. people will begin to recognize it as a scam and will stop investing in it sometimes the owner gets tired of it and ends, too.

Eventually, no matter what the scam will not succeed. There is no success had to be when all you're doing is conning people. Scam companies cannot thrive because they aren't real. nobody can make it in business when they don't sell anything. When a business is not selling anything that they are not part of an industry, they cannot be competitive and cannot make someone rich except the person who initiates them.

Fraud are not good and that is the bottom line. you may be tempted to try the reason how it might work, but unless you're starting to farce, it won't pay always.

Have you actually been scammed?

What constitutes a scam?

Let's start by pulling out of the dictionary and getting the definition according to Webster.

Noun: a fraudulent or deceptive act or operation

VERB:

1: cheat, defraud

2: get (like money) a farce

Now that we know that Webster considered a farce, let's examine what many Internet marketers think like a farce.because, I think there is a difference of opinion on this topic.

After spending many years in forums dedicated to the theme of fraud, it seems that most think a program, company or business opportunity is a scam if they don't make money from it. it seems to me that this is the only true needed to power online scam cry.However, just because a person doesn't build a network marketing company, online or off, it makes the opportunity/program a farce. Can simply mean that the person who has failed, not doing something right, or work hard enough, or at all for that matter. Many think can subscribe to a program and money only will roll.When it doesn't happen that way, rather than look at themselves for failure, it is easier to cry scam about the company.

As for the thought of money for nothing, some would be blame marketers, by leading them to believe that it is possible to accumulate huge amounts of money for doing absolutely nothing.However, they can't blame anyone but themselves, because they were stupid enough to fall for it.

Think about this: say a person acquires a TrueValue franchise (TM), but not announcing the deal or not promotes enough in the right places, and they lose your shirt, file for bankruptcy, etc. ..That gives them the right to call TrueValue (TM) a scam?Certainly not.Or say someone orders a product from a catalogue, and invoicing Gets screwed up. say that the person was charged twice…This means that the mail order company is a scam? without him there. errors paperwork and data entry, since it requires human interaction, it is not perfect either. in other words ...Stuff happens.

If the policies and procedures are not to the taste of which is not a reason to cry foul wants. The enterprise has the right to establish a policy at its discretion, within the limits of the law. If the policy violates the law, then the company has a team of lawyers poor, or he could very well be a scam.

Back to Webster to set a couple of different types of scams ...

PONZI:

Pronunciation: pän-ze

Function: Noun

Etymology: Charles Ponzi died 1949 American (born Ital.) deadbeat

Date: 1973

investment: a swindle in which some initial investors are paid with money secured by other later to encourage more and greater risks

PYRAMID SCHEME:

Function: Noun

Date: 1975

: an illegal operation typically where participants pay to join and profit especially from subsequent payments made by participants

Then there's the: infomercial scam, scam, scam investment seminar insurance scam ...The list goes on.

There are literally hundreds of different types of scams, but the most common of them all is the scam of the array and this is the downfall of a people for most of the times.Many companies that perform this type of fraud refer to it as an electrical network.This is a situation where a person is told that they need to purchase a product or pay a membership fee, and all those people who pay their way after them will generate a massive income for them.Or, they say that if they buy your product, for what turns out to be way more than worth it, will receive a prize of greater value, once they get a certain amount of other people to buy the product, using the same promise of wealth.Both scenarios are similar from the pyramid, where, eventually, someone loses everything in the background (time and money) and receives nothing.

The problem with this is that there are a finite number of people in the world, and someone has to be passed on the line.This number of people decreases even more because there are fewer people in the world that can be achieved, which have legal age for consent being stolen, or who can afford to take the risk. because of this, programs created this way always will collapse so they are illegal; someone always loses, typically more than they can afford to lose.

The best way to avoid getting ripped off is research a company before becoming involved with it. think of it as a reverse interview. instead of you being interviewed for a job, you interview the person and the company that is trying if you sign up. Verify that the company has a legitimate product, at a fair price, and that you enjoy enough to wear it yourself as in prosperity scam Automated System, there was no product. all participants was a website and autoresponder and promises of riches which paid for was a list of lead and someone who would entice others to participate in the program for you. people spent a huge amount of money on links for PAS. the guys at the top was rich, and the people less has robbed. the Government then them off and my sources tell me that even people who have lost the program are facing legal challenges as a result of their participation, not just the big cheeses. The scam, 12DailyPro, is another example of getting something for nothing gone very wrong.

Just because one doesn't make money in a network marketing company does not mean that the business is a farce. If you really want to know if a business opportunity is a farce, show the good impression to a lawyer.

Rule of Thumb:If the only way you can earn a Commission is to sell stakes in something, not a product, they is not a good business opportunity. the reason is that the number of shares that can be sold is finite. products may be sold repeatedly generating commissions repeated. And those programs that require the above passage of sales to a member of the upline, (commonly called ' qualified ' sales) before earning a Commission is illegal. at least in the United States.

To be successful, offers a product or service that is more valuable than the money necessary to get it you will have satisfied customers, and they are money in the Bank.

The Trii-Zine Ezine

Don't get scammed more than once

You as often been duped? I know it may seem an odd question but there is a reason for it. I asked how many times you have cheated because, judging by online advertising around over the past few months, admit to getting cheated several times is the latest Internet marketing trends. Sites that all these people "Was duped" talk are in work at home business opportunities, home. These sites "Was duped" are multiplying and latest who claim between 95% and 99% of work at home opportunities are scams.

Work at home, home business opportunity scams exist (I even wrote articles about them earlier), but an estimated 95-99% being blows sounds too high to be genuine.I decided to take a look at some of the sites of "not having deceived-work at home business opportunities, home are scams".(Please do not get the idea that I'll pass me off as a "researcher" or "" investigator, which was done just for curiosity.)

There are some good sites anti-scam that give warnings about types of work at home scams, how to identify them and where to get help if you get scammed.The new style "not have mistaken" websites are different. in fact, they do not offer any help or advice on how to detect and prevent fraud. just send creepy warnings about the number of jobs at home, home business opportunity scams, tell us that they were cheated countless times and advise us to join his latest get rich quick program.

Can someone explain why any sensible person would join a get rich quick programming, recommended by someone so gullible must get completely charred before that realise fire is hot?

Looking at these "not have mistaken" sites was a sad experience. an Ant-scammer says: "I have tried almost everything to try to earn money and to be honest with you, I don't have the brains to get very far". It then proceeds to urge them to buy into their current program get rich quick. You have to admire the guy for admission is short in the brain, but it is enough to make you want to associate their get rich quick scheme? Makes me want to reach for my credit cards – and hide them!

Another "not have mistaken" website owner admits he was tricked 37 times in 3 months, when he joined 37 get rich quick programs. then it suggests that you join your choice of get rich quick schemes.Three months? Soon enough to establish a home business, let alone become successful with it. it does not explain whether he joined all 37 get rich quick scams on the first day and tried to run them all (obviously impossible) or if he tested them one at a time. If he took the last stroke, the average time for each get rich quick scheme would be 2 ½ days (not long enough to give any program a fair trial).

Yet another browser "does not have mistaken" says that he knows that every online paid search are scams because his sister joined once and had not made a profit after trying for a month.Then he tells him to participate in their money making programs selected. a person, an undertaking, in a month: hardly a scientific test conditions to a research project.

Another site "does not have mistaken" says: "went out and paid real money for the opportunities of the Internet that we thought showed promise. in most cases, we were wrong."Then enumerates recommendations for several jobs at home/money making programs."Most of the time we were wrong"-you trust your judgment and join programs they recommend? me not!

A real victim of a scam is in a position to give a detailed notice about the particular scam. However, these people just say "I was wrong," they don't name the scam programs or explain how they work fraud. your message comes across as "I'm so stupid that I was mistaken many times but still trying to make money with get rich quick schemes, you should join my latest one".

Remember: fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me 37 times ...?

The profile of the work at Home Scams

It is common knowledge in the work at home, Community that blows are a danger to watch out for. Scams are so common because they are confusing. It can be difficult to determine what is a scam and what is not a scam. Getting a good profile of a work at home scam help you determine when you come across one.

How scams work

Work at home scams tend to follow a pattern.Most scams make big statements, but do little to up those claims. They are great at words and little details. Scams usually also want to pay money to get nothing.

You have to look on a work at home, work the same way that you look for any job. If you don't pay the equivalent work outside the home, then you should not pay for it to work at home.

Working at home is no different then the work outside the home.Many scams try to make you believe that you have to pay for work at home because it costs them to have you work from home or are there any major risk for they have it working at home.The truth is that home workers save money from companies not to fall for that old trick.

The bottom line about scams is that you put in a lot of work and get nothing or very little in return. they just are not real jobs. You can't win money and, eventually, the company will collapse because it is not a real business.

Confusion of scams

Scams can be confusing because there are many things said about scams that can be applied to legitimate opportunities.Therefore, defining a scam and understand what is a scam is becomes important.

Home businesses that often are legitimate opportunities require an investment in front of the big different a business at home and a scam, however, is that they give you all the information in front of a home business.This way, you can decide if this opportunity is for you or not. With a scam, you do not obtain any information until you pay.

Another confusion is with opportunities or jobs that aren't just a good fit for you. sometimes people feel that they are wrong only because an opportunity has not worked for them. A farce is an opportunity that will not work for anyone, because nothing is being sold. there products are a sign of a scam, you really should check to make sure that you're being scammed before pointing the finger at a company, because it can be simply that just wasn't working for you.

Know the difference between a work at home scam and a real opportunity can really help you to discover the good work at home opportunities you will find you more easily can spot a scam and you can find a legitimate opportunity that is best for you.

Latest Scams Black owner must observe

Stain owner blows hard grow

They can catch you off guard,

You should keep informed

And meet the signs that warn

Then you'll know the ignore scams.

As owner of death and taxes, fraud, theft and cons are a fact of life. The good part about fraud, if there are any good part, is most of them never change, they just dress with different clothes. But for the uninformed, they are still effective in separate you from your hard-earned money and if you're not careful your whole House.

Of course one of the favourite targets of scammers, shady business and questionable even creditors are owners of afro-Americans. African-American Homeowners remain the less informed and less likely to shop around for the lowest loan rates or to negotiate.

The reasons I mention the above statement is why I continue to publish this newsletter and news site of Black owner. To get the Word as a defense for those who would try to take advantage of us ... knowledge is our only defense.

Now you must do your part by informing about the other homeowners who know of these scams.The only way that these schemes have a chance to survive is to who knows they don't say anything or neglect warning others.

Here's the latest scams to watch out for:

Loan Foreclosure Rescue Scams.This layout works to explore distressed homeowners facing foreclosure. Most victims is minority, low-income and elderly.But, due to the shutdown problem in the market today, this scam is starting to graduate to higher average and even middle-class neighborhoods.

Usually they will start their authorisation to negotiate with your creditor on your behalf to sign some routine roles.What victims don't know is that leave papers allow them take ownership of your home (always read the fine print).

Now the scammer can place loans against property or even sell the property and maintain equity.Reports of these scams litter the files of State Attorneys General across the country.

Many owners uninformed fall for this scam ever know that banks and other legitimate organizations will never ask you for this information.For example, legitimate companies will never request your passwords and personal identification numbers in an email message.

When in doubt it is always best to contact the lender or the telephone company to verify that they are asking for this information. in fact, most companies want to know about any email you receive to ask for this information because they recognize phishing as a growing problem, they want to know so they can investigate that.

Predatory lending.Despite the growing number of laws, claims and legislation against predatory lending practices. Many predatory lenders have gone out of business and others just gone underground.But others have changed only clothes, but his fate is still the uninformed, the desperate and the gullible.

Mold inspection and removal of fraudThis is a new scam that is growing rapidly, especially since Hurricane Katrina and the latest health news on the molding. I predict how rainy season approaches this scam will increase as many houses full of experience.

The fear of mold and its influence on health of the owner is what drives this coup. Because Mold inspection is a new little industry if there is any regulation to protect the owner.

Nonlinear acceptable standards exist measurements mold spores .so, unethical mold inspectors can easily make the air in your home seem to take more mold spores that it really makes you know enough to question their results? most homeowners wouldn't either.

A favorite method used to beat the owner shall submit a sample spoofed to the laboratory for testing. they switch the actual example with mold a location strongly contaminated. show you the report of a legitimate lab and you're convinced to give them a generous contract for work to clean up the mess.

To protect the same never use an inspection service that also performs the mold remediation or removal ... or recommend a company that does. I would call this a conflict of interest and an invitation to a rip-off.

Here's another tip. spore traps used to collect samples of mold have a specific serial number of your own. Verify that you see and note your serial number before leaving your home.

Conclusion

These are the latest cheats attacking the African-American owner. now that you know them spread the word to family and friends and do not allow the same ... or they fall victim of these scams.

Continue to stay informed because the current information is your best defense. remember that your most important defense is to avoid thinking that it could never happen with you because if treats each con mans favorite advantage.

Recognize the email scams of Top 10 and protect yourself

Unfortunately, because of the relative anonymity afforded by the internet and due to the relative ease and cheapness with which internet communication can be achieved it has become an increasingly fertile ground for fraudsters. There is even an evolutionary competition going on between email filtering applications and fraudsters' attempts at conning their unsuspecting victims.

Below I am going to list some of the most prevalent scams and I will tell you a little of how to recognize the scam and protect yourself from it:

Advance fee fraud (419 fraud) -- This is also sometimes known as the 'Nigerian Scam' which is a confidence trick in which the target is persuaded to advance relatively small sums of money in the hope of realizing a much larger gain. This is most often perpetrated by email and begins when the 'investor' is contacted; typically with an offer such as: 'A A rich person from the needy country needs to discreetly move money abroad, would it be possible to use your account?' and sums in the millions of dollars are named. The investor is promised a large share of this money (generally 30-40% of the total). The proposed deal is often presented as a 'harmless' white-collar crime with no risk to the 'investor'. The operation is professionally organized in Nigeria, with offices, working fax numbers, and often contacts at government offices. But the mark is then asked for money to bribe officials etc. Money is sent and the mark is never contacted again. Just delete any message where you're offered money out of the blue, especially if the message originates in Africa. The Charity Request Scam -- The Charity Request/Disaster Relief scam is becoming far more prevalent these days. Scammers prey on the natural and admirable human desire to aid disaster victims by sending fake emails desiring donations or they set-up fake charity websites and steal the money donated to the victims of disasters. Often the approach will come in the form of what looks like a forwarded email. Essentially, if the request for donations came via email then not only is it a scam but there's a good chance that it's also a Phishing attempt (see below) especially if it directs you to a website. Never respond to these emails. If it's a legitimate charity then find the phone number of the registered offices and donate over the phone. The Employment Scam -- In the Employment Scam unscrupulous persons posing as recruiters and/or employers offer attractive employment opportunities which require the job seeker to pay them money in advance, usually under the guise of work visas, travel expenses, and out-of-pocket expenses. The scams can also involve lucrative offers of employment in Europe, the Middle East, West Africa, or South Africa with money demanded to be paid to an agency or travel agent for visas or travel costs. This type of scam has become more and more frequent recently and it often targets people submitting their CVs to employment sites and bulletin boards. Often you will be addressed by name in the contact email. If you are contacted by one of these emails and the deal is abroad and seems too god to be true then give it a wide berth. The Holiday Scam -- These started as unsolicited emails announcing that you had won a 'Cruise of a Lifetime' or a 'Free Holiday to Florida' or the like. These scams are generally more active during the summer months (May to July) as this is when most people take their holidays. Generally you will receive an email either announcing that 'you, or someone you know' has entered you in a contest, and that you have won a free cruise or vacation package alternatively your are offered a cheap (or even free) travel deal -- all at a price that's too good to refuse. If you do call to take up the deal you will find that there are hidden costs or you have to pay over the odds for the hotel or you will have to sit through a sales pitch when you arrive. As with all similar scams, if you did not enter for something and an email comes out of the blue it's probably a scam. The Lottery Scam -- In this scam you get an email saying that you've won the email sweepstakes for a lottery that no-one's ever heard of. Or you've been told that you've won the email sweepstakes for a well-known lottery but the contact address is not the contact address of the lottery organizers. This is a very common form of spam email and it's east to avoid. Basically, lotteries only serve one of two purposes. They are there to raise money or they are there to provide publicity in order to draw-in customers. If you have not seen an ad campaign for a lottery and you have never entered then any email you will have been sent is a fraud. Overpayment Scam -- This scam targets people selling high-value items on internet auction sites or on internet classified sites. Here the scammer finds your ad (through on-line or paper small ads usually though this scam is also seen on auction sites such as eBay). You are sent an email offering to pay much more than your asking price. The excuse given is supposedly related to the various international fees to ship the item overseas. In return you are requested to send the scammer the item and cash for the balance. This looks legitimate and you agree to the transaction. Your are sent a money order or cashier's cheque or banker's draft which looks genuine and you deposit it. The claimant is at your door so you hand over the balance and the item you were selling. Later you the bank calls you to say that the payment method was forged and you are out of pocket. Once you know about this scam it's east to avoid. Never agree to any overpayments and always wait for funds to clear in your bank. The Phishing Scam -- Phishing is a term used for the criminal practice of attempting to fraudulently acquire sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords and credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. The majority of phishing methods use some form of technical deception designed to make a link in an email (and the spoofed website it leads to) appear to belong to the spoofed organization. The easiest way to combat phishing attacks is to modify users' behaviour by education. The truth is that nearly all legitimate email messages from companies to their customers will contain an item of information that is not readily available to phishers. Always check for this information. But if you see this kind of email purporting to be from a bank or other organization always contact the organization directly to check if what the email you received says is true. The Pyramid Scam -- In this type of scam you will receive an email with a list of people in it. The email will say something like 'you have received an incredible opportunity to make CASH FAST!'. To gain anything you have to send $5 to the people on the list and forward the email to six other people. Basically this is just a pyramid scam and it is completely illegal. Do not reply, do not forward as to do so means that you are participating in a fraud. The Re-shipping Scam -- The re-shipping scam is designed to trick individuals or small businesses into shipping goods to countries (generally West African or Asian) with weak legal systems. The goods themselves are most often paid for with stolen or fake credit cards and the re-shippers (unbeknownst to them) assume the brunt of the legal risks. Often the fraudster pauses as a representative of a growing company trying to establish a presence in the UK/US (or wherever).

Work at home scams disguise themselves as legitimate opportunities on a number of ways.Always carefully investigate any work at home opportunity before investing.

Stay away from exaggerated claims.

This seems obvious, but you'd be surprised how many people fall for hyped earnings statements. work at home scams often make outrageous claims. If a work at home opportunity tells you that you will earn $ 10000 in your first month, or you don't have to sell something, you don't have to do any work, these are signs of danger of hype.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Work at home scams prey on hope and dreams of others.

Again, this sounds obvious, but many people miss the boat on this one. Work at home scams will try to get you to pay for job ads, but real home based jobs with a legitimate business costs nothing.

Any home business will require an investment, work at home employment not!There are some legitimate work at home resume work listings of sites out there that provide assistance, listing, and other services for freelancers who require a small annual fee to access its database of jobs and other benefits such as insurance medical and dental assistance. Any legitimate work at home job broker will provide a full money back guarantee, otherwise don't even think about it! Carefully check the credentials of a company. Whether it is a work at home work or a home business opportunity, make absolutely sure you're dealing with a solid company, respectable. This is one of the best strategies to avoid work at home scams.

Verify that your company's standing at the Dunn and Bradstreet.This will cost a fee, but it's worth if you will make a major investment or are not sure about the legitimacy of the company. Find other representatives or working at home, company employees and ask how will your work and whether they are happy with the support of the company. Look that would be the marketing of products or services that you would provide. They are good quality, reasonably priced and legitimate? they come with a money back guarantee?

Are exaggerated claims of product or they are backed by science?Work at home scams won't have these things in place. Call the company. They are quick and respond to your questions?

They are professional and courteous? company provides you with customers or you need to do the marketing yourself? Is your fair wage, so you can earn a good income? If you're doing Sales Commission, how many customers you need to win what you need? Customers can obtain a refund, if they are not satisfied with the company's product or service?

Contact the better Business Bureau.Although many legitimate companies may also have some complains, shameful companies that promote work at home scams will increasingly complaints against them.

You are paid to sell products? Some work at home scams are pyramid schemes, where you earn money just by bringing other members.

If your payment only of recruiting other representatives, instead of selling legitimate products, then stay away!This kind of thing is considered a pyramid scheme and is illegal. A legitimate MLM or Network Marketing Business will provide you with a way to both products Sell And form a team of business partners. You will be paid only on the volume of product its new partners, use or sell, not in recruiting fees paid by bringing new representatives to the business. Avoid envelope stuffing and homework assembly! There is abundant evidence that both are nothing more than to work at home scams that take your money.Work envelope stuffing is nothing more than a few materials advertising the same job that you signed.You put your contact information over the fliers and poor souls who respond send your money for you! erection domestic demand that you pay for a kit of materials. Some materials are provided, and then be required to sell the finished product, or you are told that their work is unsatisfactory. Be careful!
In summary

Look before you leap!Work at home scams take advantage of the ignorance and emotion. Not engage in any work at home job opportunity, or business before checking carefully the company.I personally make it a rule to never buy anything that doesn't have a money back guarantee.

Trust your instincts ' gut '! If something looks suspicious or questionable, investigate the opportunity carefully to determine if it is a work at home scam.

Don't pay high prices for seminars at home business opportunity, or training seminars. some work at home scams involve attended progressively more high-priced training seminars in exotic locations.

After leaving his guard down and you believe that they are your ideal partner, this is when you can be the victim of a widely used many scams.The four main scams used online dating sites are the travel scam, scam prostitute, phone scam and postal scam. each blow is pretty simple and all result in you departing with your money if you be a victim.

One of the main objectives of the use of an online dating site is eventually find yourself with the people you chat.Once you agree to meet someone inadvertently you a scammer, will explain to you that currently living abroad and can't pay travel costs to visit it. having gained his trust and affection is currently asking him to send them money for travel expenses and many innocent people send money to a scammer hoping that they will finally get to know the man or woman of your dreams, but in reality you will never hear of them again. This is known as the travel scam and unfortunately is very commonly used.

The scam prostitute is quite simple. Prostitutes take advantage of the market of online dating and dating websites use to solicit business.Is created a fake profile, usually with a user name and a detailed description contemptible atrevida, thus making it relatively easy to recognize. some people believe that prostitutes are genuinely looking for a relationship, but don't be fooled into thinking that. They're on dating websites for one reason only; to win money at your expense.

The phone scam has been around for many years, but unfortunately has now become one of the online dating scams online. As a member of a dating site, you may receive a message from someone who became friendly with asking him to phone them on the telephone number provided to you. You will be led to believe that they want to speak with you personally away the dating site. Unfortunately, the phone number does not belong to the person believes that you are in contact with and you'll find yourself receiving a big phone bill as a result of calling the number provided to you.

Scammers use several variations of postal scam, although the principle is the same for all of them. You will be asked to send money. The most common scam mail is the Nigerian 419 scam that is also known as AFF or fraud Free Advanced. This scam is usually used by people living in Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Ghana, and possibly other West African countries. Once a scammer has made friends with you, they will tell you that live in the United Kingdom and are currently working abroad, usually one of the countries mentioned above. They then give a reason for that badly need money and ask him to send them the money that you believe that you are the only person who can help them.Many people fall for the cheats at the moment and send the money requested, believing that they truly are helping a new friend in need. Scammers give many reasons for needing money, are some examples. They will tell you that they have a back critically ill relative in the United Kingdom and they need cash for travel expenses urgently to visit them. Claim to have been assaulted and all your money and stolen credit cards, thus requiring money to help them. They will say they are a student and need money while they complete your university degree; They claim to be a relative of a deceased civil servant and need your help in the transfer of large sums of money, promising to give you a great deal of money in exchange for allowing you to use your bank account.

We cannot underestimate the importance of knowing when you could be in contact with a scammer. There are several signs to look out for which may include; a personal description vague that does not match the photo. they will avoid answering questions, usually because they are sending the same message to multiple people. conversations will be repeated.can change the tone and style of the message. the use of very poor grammar and spelling, although this sign alone does not mean that they are a scammer as many people have spelling and grammar issues; immediate answers to your messages. they will ask you to use your personal email to avoid detection by dating site;claim to be in love or fall in love with you, possibly by sending you a romantic poem. one of the most obvious signs to look out for is a profile photo that looks like a model, which is probably a model, but not a picture of the person sending you messages.Scammers use pictures of beautiful people because profiles with beautiful people usually get more mail, so the scammers have countless people to choose between deciding that they're going to continue.More often than not a profile photo seems too good to be true, it usually is.

If you have been a victim of fraud and sent money, unfortunately there is little chance that he is recovering.Once the money has been sent, the scammer usually ends all communication with you, although there is no chance that you may be prompted to send more money.If you're worried that is in contact with a scammer, report them immediately to the online dating site you are using and stop all correspondence with them.

In General, dating sites are completely safe, provided that you follow security rules and look for the signs of a scammer. many sites big and small screen members and look out for scammers, but unfortunately few online dating sites allow anyone to join and are only concerned in members actively by sending messages. don't be fooled into thinking largest dating sites paying members of the screen, as not all they do.

When using any online dating site, under no circumstances should you send money to any person or reveal details of your bank account. no matter how plausible a reason may sound, never send money having gained their trust ... a scammer will leverage their feelings and amiable nature. no matter how well you feel that you know someone, be skeptical and avoid becoming a victim of a scam online dating.

Forex Scams-not Let Thieves Steal Your Money Online

Forex market, as one of the largest markets in the world, is very lucrative and opportunity tempting for anyone, and therefore most scammers will use it to attract people to their schemas and steal money from them.

The Internet is, unfortunately, very convenient for scammers and it is relatively easy to deceive people.Today anyone can purchase a domain name and setup a website for less than $ 100. it is also possible to hire an expert to create a site for a relatively small amount of money.

In addition, most people aren't so familiar on the Forex market that makes them easy targets because it is very easy to promise dreams and manipulate numbers and information submitted.

Scammers can easily hide from the public, and once fooled, getting money back is very difficult and often impossible.

The most common scams are several Forex investment programmes, also known as HYIPs, or High Yield Investment Programs.Scammers usually present themselves as financial experts who can bring unrealistic profit by investing in the Forex market, stock market, oil, stocks online, several companies offline, etc. and offer a chance to profit in your "experience" of potential victims.

Scam is generally seen as a great investment opportunity, sometimes with unrealistic returns (200% to 300% within the next days), and many people decide to invest money into it. the problem is that every investor should expect a certain amount of time before money can be withdrawn. For example, if a program offers 300% within 10 days, this means that if you invest $ 100 after 10 days of this "expert" "" you'll earn $ 300.During this time investment is blocked, which means that you cannot remove a single penny before 10 days expire. Obviously this time is necessary for the owners of program "trade with money invested" and "profit" for investors.

What is really happening during this time, nobody knows for sure, but here is the most likely scenario:

You invest a certain amount of money and have to wait 10 days before you can withdraw all the money. During that time scam artist promotes your program on the Internet to find more potential investors.Scam artist also offers investors a Commission for each new investor who bring which makes the promotion of your site (scam).

Each of the new investors invest sums diverse and each one has to wait ten days before withdrawing any money after the first 10 days scam artist generally collects enough money to pay their investors initial seus lucros. They are happy because they won a lot of money and decide to tell everyone they know about this program.

The number of investors begins to grow exponentially, and the scam artist is collecting the money.In a moment he has enough money to live happily ever after and can no longer pay profits to investors. then is when he decides to stop issuing payments and HYIP collapses.In this scenario the first few investors made money, while many others who joined later lost their investments.

Other scenarios are also possible where nobody gets paid and scam artist only collects money, makes promises and suddenly disappears with your program.In addition, many scam artists come back later with a new look under another name and website and scam people again.

Some of them even offer realistic investment returns and use it to attract more investors, but one thing that never know about this type of programs is when they stop making payments or when they will disappear.

High Yield Investing Programs are just one type of forex scams. There are many investment programs that offer more unrealistic income through some kind of get rich quick scheme involving trading forex.There are also a lot of shady Forex brokers that offer foreign currency futures and option contracts and they should be avoided at all costs.Some of these programs may seem legitimate and can be very difficult to recognize, but always keep in mind his only goal-to take your money.

The best recipe to avoid getting scammed is use your diligence. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Also pay attention to every detail when you come across some sites that offer "great opportunity" and always do an in-depth investigation. it is difficult to say whether there can be real programs that really trade with money invested and generate profit for investors to invest there, but probably less than 1% of all programs and investments are private, these programmes offer low returns and rarely accept new members.

Never leave any offer tempting cloud his judgement. be suspicious of each offer where you have to decide and act quickly, as phishers often use this technique to prevent you from thinking too much about that. Always do a search and you will never be wrong. If the offer is genuine, he won't disappear overnight and will be available tomorrow.

If you are interested in investing in forex, arm yourself with knowledge-learn as much as you can about Forex trading and thread carefully in the Forex market also find a lot of forums and online discussions about forex trading on the Internet and join them. they are excellent source of free information and even give you the opportunity to interact with other Forex traders. you can see, opinions and experiences from different people about various issues. Forex trading strategies, HYIPs forex scams, and other investments, programs, and even ask questions about anything in particular.

A variation of the scam dating sites is site pornographic disguised as a dating site or, more often, a dating site for adult. normally, as a website will use images of attractive "Members" to lure you in.

Some prostitutes knowledgeable discovered that is more profitable-and much safer-to post a profile on an adult dating site than to work even better streets. for prostitute, her (and in some cases it) has a global market.

But Internet dating scams are getting more complex when they go international. the most common is Russian bride scam email.This is targeting people of first world countries (the USA being main target).

The majority of Russians Internet dating scams begin with man be contacted by an attractive young woman.Often but not always, the man is much older than the woman.The scammer is counting on a man being gullible due to being flattered by the thought of an attractive young woman, showing interest in it.

After a few emails, the woman claims to be in love with the man and wants to join him in his country. She asks for money for a passport, Visa, airfare and traveling expenses (at once or in stages). She suggests transferring money or other means of sending money irreversible.

Once the man sends the money, two things can happen. the woman may simply disappear. Or there may be a family "tragedy" for which she needs money extra man unhappy. She can also claim to hold an airport happen for several reasons it is milk as much money as possible off the poor guy.

This type of fraud is usually done by men Russians or unions employing women (for rates very scarce) to use there profiles and get the money for them.

Unfortunately, this scam is also helped by attitudes and stereotypes. Russian women's perception as desperate to leave their country is an example.So is the assumption that everyone wants to emigrate to the West, especially the United States.

There is also the Nigerian scam (and lately Ghana). Nigerian Scams are a bit more difficult to detect that con artists most are people generally good that usually do their homework;and they can be extraordinarily patients.

You get contacted by an "American citizen" working in foreign country.Since it is the contact and some level of trust established, the scam artist asks you for money money orders him/her. Orders are fraudulent and you are left to pay your bank the amounts paid.

Sometimes the scammer is not after the money they are after sending aid for merchandise purchased with stolen credit cards.

Most scams begin in chat rooms or free Internet dating sites.Why? why scam scam artist wants as many people as possible, without spending money.In addition, pay sites require the use of a credit card, that can be crawled by the owner.

How do you protect yourself against these or other types of Internet scams?There are no guarantees, as well as you do not have a guarantee of not getting in an accident, because you are a careful driver.But you can minimize the risks, or become a target difficult (scammers are lazy and goes to the easier target).

1. to get started, sign up with a reputable dating site.A paysite is always more secure as a is required to use a credit card, that can be crawled by the owner.Of course, there is the possibility of someone using a stolen credit card, but the risk is minimal compared to a site free or chat room.

2. Beware of someone who claims to fall in love with you after just a few emails.Start by being skeptical.

Tax season-time to hoaxes

As tax season draws closer, the irresistibly scammers are polishing their latest techniques. This article should help you keep an eye out for these guys unpleasant.

Tax season-time to hoaxes

A gesture especially raunchy, scammers began posing on form or another, as the IRS in an effort to begin to turn into social security numbers and such. Logically, this really makes sense.Everyone is terrorized by IRS and AWE to be contacted by the Agency. most of us would do anything to resolve any issue raised by an IRS agent including sending them copies of your credit card statements and crucial financial information by telephone.Put another way, this is the perfect setting for a scammers.

The goal of scammers, course information individuals may use to open credit card accounts and so forth. This is vaguely known as phishing for purposes of identity theft.

Phishing and identify theft can occur through virtually any communication method. Here are some recent blows that were successful:

1. a group of scam artists began to send spam emails notifying taxpayers were eligible for the tax refund scam worked because the emails were sent from IRS types of e-mail accounts, including irs letters in the address. Taxpayers were then told to go to click to a site where you can fill out a form and get your refund.Of course, the email address and web site were fakes. Nobody has a refund, but scammers received a bunch of social security numbers, credit card and so on. in total, this coup occurred through 12 different web sites in 11 countries.

2. This is a classic.Scammers sending fake letters and IRS form w-8BEN asking non-residents to provide personal information, including passport numbers, PINs, bank account numbers and so forth.Form w-8BEN is used by banks, not the IRS, for information of non-residents who are opening bank accounts! Unfortunately, many non-resident fell in love with this scam and had their identities stolen.

There are a couple of guidelines you can use when dealing with IRS communications.Firstly, the IRS never, never sends an email to the taxpayer. EVER!If you receive an e-mail communication is absolutely a farce.Delete it or send it to the IRS to take action.

If you receive mail communications from IRS, call the Agency to verify that it really was sent a letter to you with communications phone call, get people name and call them back on IRS. both methods will stop scammers in their tracks. Be skeptical of communications received from sources you don't expect.

Finally, the IRS never asks a taxpayer of passwords or PIN numbers you'd like take advantage of their bank account, the Agency can only do so they don't need $ 300 per day until your tax debt is collected!

Scammers are highly creative. If you have questions about a statement of IRS, pick up the phone and call the body.

Scam "Passport to wealth" or consulting is all about?

Passport to wealth is a business model of direct sales. According To Passport To Wealth back-office, they have more 75000.00 Valley software. It is recommended that the software help a wide variety of computer tasks compensation plan used for years by security sectors and direct selling industry for years. Business owners can resell the complete software package and receive r $ 997.00 for each sale. I saw the allegations about frauds in Passport to wealth and other business on the Internet. Lets take a deeper look into scams and their claims. What really mean?

I'm using Passport To wealth as an example, but the sad truth is that many businesses with a solid structure is being implemented by testing scam.You see all that Internet Scam, Beware Scam alert, scammed by the Passport add my business Wealth. If entrepreneurs look deeper for these searches, they will find that 1-2 things really are happening here.

1.) other business is bashing another to receive Sales-this has been an old trick in marketing for many years. Because if I'm going to McDonald's Burger King across the road. McDonald's is using a less direct, then many home business agents. But, in essence in marketing strategies that do the same thing. Most times when you look at these reports scam they are intriguing owner of a company to join up with them. There is no proof of fraud, and there is no factual information to back up your claim. People searching only are redirected to the company's website.Tricky inventive and ethical marketing maybe, I don't think so. put a negative spin on an undertaking to obtain exposre to another is not a positive practice. His way of the Internet and will not change, but for others to understand these practices will help them make a decision.

I don't think this is the correct way to a business at home on the market. I believe that entrepreneurs should be able to exclusively about the credibility of its activity on the market. Let the strengths of your business bring quality prospects to your site.

2.) an independent distributor not received good guidance-business as good as online is that there must be good mentors in place so that you can use. If an entrepreneur not received good training and mentoring that they won't fill good about the business model. But this really makes business a scam? In my opinion not strong, your company is not a scam because someone does not receive the proper training.

The sad truth is if it is your Passport to wealth or any other business out there, if you do not connect with the right can be difficult to build any business mentoring team. If you have started a new task that you would need to be trained. Why is any business being different.I encourage business owners that are yelling scam look for the background of your guidance was positive or negative.

I think yours is scams out there?Yes I do, but I didn't think it's the home business industry?I think his mentors who scam Business Builders more.I hear often as people just don't get the right training or I walked with my mentor who never called me back after to help me. for me the scam is the mentor that misrepresents your company.

The next time that you stumble on an undertaking which is claiming a scam report. dig a little deeper to find out if it's because they're advertising there is main business, or because they had built a business and not found the appropriate mentors. business is as the Passport To wealth are used in scam reports because a farce will get much more attention, then a positive assessment. do your homework to find out why the report scam was done when you walk away you might be surprised what you really discovers.

Avoiding work at Home Scams

There are many, many scams out there-that's why it's so important to be able to recognize them when you see them. Avoiding fraud is difficult, but we're here to help! If you are not sure then you need to ask yourself the following questions:

1. What is the value that you have added to the product or project?
If you are not adding value to the product or project-so why someone would pay you for your work?The exception to this rule would be those instances where you are making money off of people different perceived value. the risk that you take is that you're involved in a company that is you scams or teaching him the scam others or both. you also need to ask yourself: even if this is legal-is ethical?

2. Someone would pay you perform this service in person?
If you can't get paid for it personally, then why anyone would pay for it online? Again, it is possible that the deal is perfectly legal and even paid for things online that a person in real life would not pay for-but the odds of this being the case are extremely small. It is more likely that the business is designed to fool you or to train you to scam other people, or both. I have a low risk tolerance, and if either: (1) I'm not adding value or (2) no one would pay me for this in "real life", then I would walk away-maybe even run!!

3. they need money upfront?
Some legitimate companies may require that you pay a franchise fee or buying a business Toolkit to start your business with them.The presence of an initial fee is not a definite sign of a scam-many companies have legitimate reasons to request initial fees.Reputable Franchises spend much money on advertising, research, branding and other items. they charge a franchise fee to cover these costs and earn a profit with companies operating under their flag decent chances are that if you have heard and seen the franchise on his real life (with the exception of the person "sell" you!!) then is legitimate businesses. Kit based companies can charge fees for the same reasons and also to cover the cost of your start-up kit business again, this is a mixed bag-some companies charge rates that simply recover the costs of material-knowing that they will make their money off the mark-up on its products. other companies (less reputable) often sell "kits" that are composed of books and other materials that offer little or no value to the person who buys it-they don't care if you sell any of its products-some don't even have real products-they make their money by selling these "kits". Once again it is important to go to companies that you are familiar with or do your research.

4. do you know anyone who has successfully made the money from this deal?
The main reason that I wanted to start this site and develop a section ' owners talk ' is for people who have a legitimate business tested and may help others to start their own. There is no proof stronger than the endorsement of someone you know and trust!

5. the person "recruitment" you make money just for signing up you?
Beware of schemes "pyramid" schemes in which people are paid based on how many people sign up not based on sales or other indicators.Finders fee or shipping rates are very common in all companies, but are not the main source of money on a legitimate business.Not only are pyramid schemes are illegal in most places, but only the first few people in a pyramid really make any money – people at the Centre are fortunate recover your initial investment and people at the bottom are the ultimate losers-lose their total investment.

and the main question:

6. does not sound too good to be true?
Because if you do-then it's probably!!

As we mentioned repeatedly in our website (not piss-remembering just gently)-you need to search all aspects of starting a small business.This means check with your local better business bureau and federal or other business check service.

Boxing: buy a "verified" or "BBB" (Better Business Bureau) logo on your Web site does not mean that they really are registered with any qualified agencies.Many sites will put a dummy logo on their sites and some go as far as providing a link to a fictitious verification page in its own domain!You should be able to go directly to the website of agencies and research that the deal there. If you find such a logo on a website and find that they are not members in good standing with that Agency-then they are scams!Escape this business, stopping only to report the site to your local Bureau of fraud.

Some fraud most common are:

i. stuffing envelopes: this common you blow has "buy" envelopes and pamphlets of a company-after having filled envelopes and presented, then the company will say often that quality is below the standards and not pay for your work-worst you never back your initial rate.

II. Home assembly: this is very similar to the scam discussed in (I)-you pay for the raw material-making products and company rejects-leaving outside of time and money.

III. Medical billing: some reputable companies provide services medical billing from home and look for typists new all the time. Unfortunately, scammers have picked up on this and are trying to get people to pay hundreds of dollars for equipment and software to do this at home. More legitimate companies looking for workers will not charge the person any fees in advance. they will sign a contract with the person and provide a license for the existing software-they also provide all of your work-you don't need (and usually cannot) try to get jobs directly from medical clinics.

IV. "processing mail", "home" typing "credits or use your computer to make millions" or to help you "make money online": return on investment in these baked cheats? a summary of how you can scam others the same way that you have been duped. are there ways to make money writing from home – but again – legitimate companies will not ask you to pre-pay fees-they won't offer to sell it "customer lists"-will provide you work directly.

v. "Email us for more information or Call 1-900 for more information": these coups collect contact information for legitimate marketing lists and blows. more phone numbers 1-900 cost you money-money that goes to the scammer. the other concern is that these scams often solicit additional information to sell to other scammers or to participate in identity theft.

VI. chain letters/emails promising that you will "make money fast" or asking you to send personal or financial information or send money: these cheats to collect contact information to scammers, facilitate identity theft and taking money from unsuspecting enough to send it.
