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.

This scam generally works under the guise of helping the owner to avoid deleting credit and save homeowners. 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.

PhishingSchemes. without this kind of fishing is done with a hook and a pole. this kind of "phishing" is done with e-mail.But the goal is the same, to bind you to give them your personal identification number or password, etc.

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.
