There are a lot of work from home scams saturating the internet and nowadays it is very hard to distinguish the real ones from the fake ones. Unfortunately I have found a lot of people are simply copying websites and trying to pass themselves off as "Experts" when all their really good at is plagiarizing. I have written down below a few key elements to look for when trying to spot a scam vs the real deal.
Rule 1. Make Sure There Is a Valid Way To Contact the Company
Always make sure there is a way for you to contact the company whether it be by phone, email or just a simple contact form. Many times I have almost purchased from a program and then realized they either have no form of contact or I have attempted to send them an email by way of online contact form and it is no longer a valid working form.
Rule 2. Make Sure To Ask Questions About The Program
This is a definite way to know if the company is on the up and up and actually does possess some expertise in his field. Ask specifics about how the program works.
Rule 3. Watch Out For Claims of Wealth or Guarantees of Amount Of Income
No matter how genuine or good the program may be, NO ONE can guarantee any specific amount to be made on these types of online jobs unless your paid by the hour! This is just not possible, as it depends on the person, the amount of time, effort and consistency he or she devotes to the job.
Rule 4. Every Program Should Have an "Earning Disclaimer" Page
This is a disclaimer that is used to protect the company in question in case they were to be accused of "false promises" or guarantees of income as we discussed above. Obviously if a company does not have this page then they do not plan on being around long enough to actually get in trouble.
Rule 5. Check to See How Long The Company Has Been Around
This is a good tell tale sign if the company is just one of those "Fly by Night" sort of programs. Those kinds are usually scams and they don't last. A good standing company should be around at least more then 1 year in order to become established. You can run a search on "Whois" to see how long the website has been up and running.
