the Bad +9 to +12 Points thinking may be to buy but this score is still is bad

     If you've spent any time at all looking around the web for home business ideas, or money making opportunities, you probably feel like bashing your head against the wall. It seems like everyone out there has a "Limited time opportunity", or the latest "Get rich while sitting in your recliner" program.

     How the heck do you know what is a true opportunity and what is a scam designed to rip you off? Who provides honest information, value and product support and who will take your money and leave you twisting in the wind?   That is exactly what I designed this web site to address these problem.

There are many Internet-based business opportunities that exploit the novelty of the Web as a lure. If you nibble, they'll further bait you with promises of freedom, esteem, high income and the good life. For a fee, they'll set you up with a company-sponsored, duplicate Website, along with products or services to sell. But many will also offer you incentives to recruit others to pay the fee, which is really what these so-called opportunities are all about. They are among what the U.S. Federal Trade Commission cleverly calls Dot Cons. Click Here to see story

Internet Scams

Internet Scams are a dime a dozen. Many of the internet scams that we report on originally started as offline scams but made their way to the online world.

Everything from cheesy MLM programs to online versions of the same scams we have reported on in other articles and almost anything else scammers can dream up. Internet scams don't only waste your time but can really cut into your pocket book as well.

Before you buy any business opportunity that is Internet based, you should do the following:

1. Make sure they list contact information. Names of people who are involved with the site, phone numbers, an address etc. An e-mail address is fine when someone isn't asking for money but when companies are asking for your hard-earned cash, e-mail isn't enough in our opinion.
   
   
2. Go to a few sites that report on scams  Do not waste your time with the Better Business Bureau. The Better Business Bureau is not a government agency plus they have no real power. I have heard as many complaints about the Better Business Bureau as some of the scams out there.

   How to Avoid Internet Investment Scams Securities and Exchange Commission document examines the issue of online investment scams, how the SEC is responding and what individuals can do. Scams - Frauds - Internet Scams - Online Scams  How to recognize and avoid internet scams.

3. See what kind of return policy they have. Most business opportunities should at least offer a 30-day trial when you are checking them out.
   
   
4. Lastly, got to a search engine.  This is hardly a science and I know that people tend to complain more than they praise, but you might be able to find something out (Which was covered in question No. 26 of the scam test). If you find one or two people complaining, ignore it. If you find 10 or 40, something is going on. But, only one complains, on the 9 to 12  points is still BAD.
