Tips on how to Spot a Scam!

There are literally millions of home-based business or work from home job opportunities in the internet. Everywhere are banners, text ads, buttons, videos, ebooks advertising that they are legitimate. But like so many would attest, finding the best work from home program can be difficult. While there are legitimate work from home programs, there are really scams with nothing in hand but rob money from you.

I had also been scammed too a year ago. I paid for a Paid Survey Program through PayPal. Oh and they are tricky. You can talk to them through the telephone and have them reply to the emails. But weeks later, they were just not answering my emails regarding dead sites and other issues. I felt I just need to call them more because the program is not a program at all. It was merely a list of companies offering payments for surveys. And many sites were dead or they simply said, 'Sorry, this is not available in your area'. It was horrible. One mistake I realized after that was, I did not check the salespage thoroughly. There was no money-back guarantee nor any certifications. The ebook they had as a bonus was no more than a sign-up instruction.

With that, I was able to gather some tips on finding a work from home programs without being scammed. So always,

• Read through the salespage carefully. Look for the "No-Risk" sign (money-back gurantee) and other certifications. Look also for physical address, telephone number and an email address. Bare in mind that they are scammers. They lure you into something that is not there so keep an eye to these.
• Do some research. Read about other's ideas. Blogs like this are the perfect place to get advice and tips from. You can also seek answers from forums. People here share information. They praise good products and bust those that are not. These people are not afraid to voice out their opinions. If you still doubt, talk to friends who work from home, they'll share with you their experience and will be glad to welcome you to the same business.
• Always be specific with your question like, 'how do I get paid?', 'can my country participate?'. These are the queries you should know especially when you are interested with Paid Surveys. See if it is global because most companies only accepts members from their country. This is also true for paid-to-shop and paid-to-watch-movies, etc.
• Google it and see what the other websites or blogs have to say about it.
  
• Lastly, if you think they are just going you into circles, LEAVE!
