5 Ways to Distinguish A Legitimate Business vs A Scam

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.This is so annoying to me. 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 temporary sort of programs that only last a minute. Those kinds are usually scams. 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.

Beware Of This Data Entry Scam!

The website I was scammed by was called dataprocessing.com 

However, they have since closed out and are no longer there. 

 How I Got Scammed

 I had taking some typing courses in college years ago I

 was hoping to make money placing ads for web companies online.

 Most of the websites I came across were too long, too much

 information overload, so I skipped over most of them (shouldn't have)

 and I kept coming across this same website over and over that said 

"Home Typists Needed" make $300-$500 per week  (sounded good)

 Well it was a lot cheaper than the others too, it was only $20.

 To make a long story short,

 I joined only to find out there was no real typing 

involved. What they had you do is build a duplicate

 website like theirs and advertise for it over to people.

 Yes, that's it! That was all the job consisted 

 of!
 Then when the poor suckers bought the program 

they would do the same thing - over and over. 
I suddenly realized this is a scam!  

Now that I'm a bit older and wiser and hip to the

 internet I now know how to notice a scam when

I see it. My advice is to do your research and

 always listen to someone who has already joined 

a specific company, so you'll know exactly what

 you're getting yourself into. 

There still are legitimate non trandtional data entry companies 

out there. 

Here is an Alternative to Wealthy Affiliate 

Make-N-Dollars owned by Darren Reed

Wealthy Affiliate Owned by Kyle and Carson

(This one is good but too expensive - You can get the same exact thing 

with Make-n-dollars for a one time fee rather 

than $100 per month like Wealthy affiliate charges)

Hope this helps!
