subject: Making Money At Home Scams - Tips To Prevent You From Becoming A Victim [print this page] Are you looking for a legitimate way to earn money from home? Before you can find the legitimate ideas you have to learn how to avoid the making money at home scams first.
Once you know how to avoid the scams online you will easily be able to spot the legitimate business ideas. There are a few things that you can do to help you easily pick out the scam business ideas from the real ones.
The first thing you have to do is to really take time to thoroughly check every single idea or opportunity that you find that interests you. Thorough checking is the only way for you to find out if a company is legitimate or a scam.
Be sure to check out their website for their contact information. The scam companies will not give any of this information, but the legitimate companies will always give a business name, telephone number, physical business address, email address and maybe even a fax number.
Some will even have a help desk or forum that you can utilize for getting in touch with them at any time. When you find these companies you can be more confident that they are legitimate. However, you still need to take the next step to be completely sure.
The next step is to get in contact with them a couple of different times. Contacting them a couple of times will help you figure out if they are a legitimate company also because the scam companies may answer you one time, but after that you will never be able to get in contact with them again.
The real companies will always answer each time that you get in touch with them. Just make sure that you contact them at least three times to make sure that you will always be able to get in touch with someone if you should have a need to.
Another step is to check out various home business forums. When people online that are trying to make an income find a scam on the web a forum is one of the first places they go to warn others about it.
You can check out the forums to make sure that the idea or business opportunity you are interested in has been talked about as a scam.
The last step to take is to check out the Better Business Bureau website. They will be able to tell you if they have any complaints against a company.
If there are many unresolved complaints then this is your sign for moving on to another idea or opportunity to start your business with.
Now that you know how to avoid the making money at home scams, you will be able to easily spot the real ideas or opportunities without any difficult at all. Just be sure to completely check out everything online before selecting a business to start so you never learn what a scam victim feels like.
