Hundred-Fold-Life Team: Beware Of Home Business ScamsCopyright © Douglas Miller Hundred-Fold-Life
http://www.ClixGo.comThere is an old saying that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is and never has this been truer than in the age of the internet. There are some pretty convincing writers out there that can write convincing copy that can make all but the truly skeptical dive into a business opportunity that, if they took two minutes to consider the information, they would never think twice about again (I don't want to tell you how many times I've did that in the past).
A few years ago their spiel would have been accompanied by a pat on the back and a brilliant smile as they took your money in person. Today's business scammers do not have to worry about meeting you face to face and they can fleece a lot more people in a shorter period of time before worrying about the police knocking at their door. Finding them can be virtually impossible as they can change email addresses and websites in a matter of minutes and never have to give real information to the website providers.
Fortunately, there are a few things you can keep watch for that can keep you from falling for the many traps these scammers set for the unwary, as you are working toward your Hundred-Fold-Life. The first thing to avoid is the urgency trap. Any offer that comes with a time limit or a membership limit should be ignored right from the start. The offer may claim that it will expire in one hour and even have an onscreen clocking ticking down the minutes until you can no longer take advantage of this amazing offer.
Go ahead, close the page and then go back to it and, amazing as it may seem, the clock is back to 60 minutes and the countdown begins again. Another one is the offer that claims it is the only time this offer will appear and if you close the screen, you will never have the chance again. Would it not be nice if that were truly the case? However, go through the process again and see all the same offers and the same warnings that you ignored the first time.
It may not be unusual for many businesses to require a fee upfront to become part of their distribution network but before you send them any cash you will want to know exactly what you are going to get in return for your investment. Companies that require their distributors to purchase products for personal use in order to be eligible to earn commissions on sales may be borderline illegal. Buying product at wholesale for resale is not all that unusual, but if you do not have a retail outlet and the company takes all the orders and handles all warehousing and shipping but requires you to make a monthly purchase for your own personal use, it may be best to walk away.
Most home business opportunities will require an upfront payment with a money back guarantee. If you ever find one that offers to set you up in business and you do not have to pay upfront until you make enough money to pay the fee, jump on it. If they were so certain you could make a killing in their business, they should be willing to take the chance.
In your search for your Hundred-Fold-Life don't be pressured into a quick deal. Take time to do your research. Taking action is important for success but not action that have no thought behind it. There are many great opportunities online but for every great one there are two if not three that are not. I experienced failures and outright rip-offs, but I am fortunate to have found my successful online business.
