Knowing for sure that an online home business is not a scam is hard to do. But there are indicators to help you identify an online scam and to protect yourself from fraud.
Dealing with a business that offers neither contact information whatsoever such as a phone number or email address is one of the indications that you are dealing with a scam. You are definitely heading for trouble especially if it just asks you to send money via Paypal or Alert Pay.
If a business claims to make money for you with you doing absolutely nothing is most likely bogus. There is no such thing as making money from a totally automated business by doing nothing.
Some online scams offer to give you a product as a come on, but actually end up giving you just a replicated website. Better keep yourself from spending money because this kind of business only works for people who have a huge mailing list, or actually the ones who started the program.
Another sign of a scam, is if the business is promising you that you will make money in that same day or even week. They are appealing to your desire to get rich quick, and most likely the website will have dollar bills flashing all over the place. This smells of a scam a mile away.
Offers of great leverage of a small amount of money, for example leveraging $25 into $50,000 is obviously an online scam. Embarrassing as it is, but I would honestly say that I got involved in something like this once and learned, so trust me on this one. This is simply a small pyramid scheme that will not work.
Other signs of home business scams are very cheap, poorly made websites. Stay away from these sites at all costs. These scam artists cannot even afford a decent looking website, and are probably in the most need of YOUR money! Run away from these cheesy sites like the plague!
These are just some very basic ways that you can tell if you are dealing with a home business scam or a legitimate business opportunity. Many online businesses are unfortunately not legitimate so buyer.. you must beware!
