Home Based Business Scams

The crooked mind will always find something to throw at those who are gullible enough to even spare a glace at their direction. A lot of this Home Based Businesses you see on your screen as you frantically search for something to do if only to scrape up a few dollars to at least make your income overlap a few inches, will entice you to get on and ride that wagon even when there is something tugging behind your brain not to.

The ever sweet deals that this home based businesses will offer to separate you from your hard earned money is just too good to be true and thus, to my opinion - too good to be true. So stay away from them, unless of course you are one of those who are looking to make big bucks by coning others so you'd want to learn how these crooks operate.

Liz Folger, Work-at-Home Mom Expert and author of the book, The Stay-at-Home Mom's Guide To Making Money , says, "It's estimated that 6 million people answer classified ads each year regarding money scams. Don't become a victim yourself. Ads for assembling crafts, stuffing envelopes, medical billing, reading books...these are all potential scams ready to steal your money. Also, keep in mind that if an ad sounds too good to be true - it probably is."

8 Tips to Spot Scams

1. The very first line states you can make hundreds of dollars a week working from home.

2 There is no experience needed.

3. You can work just a few hours a week and still make a bundle of money.

4. There is lots of CAPITALIZATION AND !!!!!! used in the ad.

5. You read an extremely vague ad. You haven't a clue what the business is about; but boy, could you be making the bucks.

6. You're asked to call a 900# for more information.

7. For a fee, a company will send you a list of businesses that are looking for home workers.

8. You are forced to make a decision immediately and are made to feel stupid if you say no to their offer
