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.
