Cyber Crimes Online
By Karl Jones
As more and more home based businesses come online, you may as well get use to seeing headlines as follows:
"Top Ten Crimes of Today." "Cyberspace Crimes Steady on the Increase." "PayPal Fraud Keeps Support Teams Busy on Overtime." "Another MLM Scam Artist Goes to Jail."
"Mentoring Scams are Becoming Harder to Detect from the Good One." "Network Scam Artist keep CyberPolice on their toes." "Network Marketing Warning, Be on the look out for XYZ COUNTERFEITS." "MLM Complaints on the Rises." Frustrated Network Marketers are Left penniless." "Dishonest Network Marketers Pleads Guilty with no Excuse." "Honest Net-Workers Suffers because there are too many Dishonest Lead Vendors. "Successful Network Marketers are Becoming Fewer and Fewer." "The Art of Scamming School Ring Broken Up." "Cyberspace Cops Increasing in Numbers."
In order to avoid all Scam Artist and their scams, one need to think like one. Now, how do a Scam Artist think? Today there are some who disguises themselves as helping you avoid scams, only to eventually lure you into one. For example: A blogger may begin talking about work at home scams. He tells you how he is going to give you a quick rundown of how to avoid a work at home scam, so you do not lose money and time to these scam artists. Then after telling you about 1. "Stuffing envelopes scam." Which most people should know about by now. 2. "Paid survey scam." Which are for the most part (not all) spammers. (Then he adds a good advice.) "If you're looking to make money online using paid surveys, you should look for companies that are free to join."
Now we are at the point where he appears to want to help you make a lot of money, on the internet. He writes . . .
"If you're a complete beginner to making money on the Internet, come and grab a free DVD copy on how to make $3000 a month online at Scam Artist.Com." Of course that is a not a real web site. But, wouldn't it be nice, if there was a truth detector software? That is, one that could be downloaded on your computer to automatically detect a scam of this type on web. Think about, how many people would be home right now, if it was just that easy to make $3000 a month from home?
Understand this. It is said, that 98.3% Make Money Sites Are Scams. Therefore the first rule still stands. If it sounds to good to be true? You got it. . . . "RIGHT!!!"
How do you know that the opportunity you are in right now is not a scam or scheme? Are you required to pay a lot of money upfront and the person who is trying to get you into his or her business is not successful themselves? Tell me. If they are not successful at it, how is it that they are going to help you become successful at it?
Not only that. But they cannot explain the business opportunity to you themselves. They are vague in the description of their business opportunity and they are only allow to say so much. These are just a few of the signs that may possibly point to a scam or scheme.
Again. A popular way to get taken by a scam work at home company, is when they ask a person to pay them money. Now you are probably confused. Right!
If the job were not a work at home opportunity but instead Wal*Mart, would you pay money up front to work with this company?
There are exceptions to the rule, but to make sure contact your Better Business Bureau before you put down your hard earn money.
A work at home job (for the most part) is like any other job. One need to really think about what is being requested of them. Would a legitimate company outsource their employment records for filings or for any other reason?
The bottom line is, a Scam Artist will say anything and do anything to leave you with no work at home job and less of your hard earn money. They may even tell you that they will refund your money and it sounds good. Remember, just because that is what it say that, does not make it so. If I told you that you can make a Million dollars in 7 days if you put down only 5 dollars, would you do that? I hope you said, NO!
Many scam companies are betting you will. Why? The sad truth of the matter is many do. Many people put their trust in, "You will receive a Refund after 30 days." "Guaranteed Your Money Back." "No Risk!" That is good to know, but, that alone is not enough. One need to investigate further and not hang on to those catch phrases.
Well, it is not long before the work at home employee realizes he has been scammed, he makes no money and he gets no refund. The reality is, there is no real business and this is nothing more than a scam.
To insure that you are not scammed, investigate before you invest your hard earned money, for there are many false companies on the internet. "They are Scam Artists, Con Artists, Rip-Off Artists. in Business Suits."
But more importantly one should become educated on how to effectively operate an Online Home Business.
