Some Ways Recognize A Work At Home Scam Scam web sites often have some characteristics in common, so we have listed some of the less well-known ones below. The older the site, the more unlikely it is to be a scam, because scam sites are removed regularly. This test is also not conclusive, because new businesses are created every day, but it might help you make up your mind. A further useful test is the contact details. Are there full contact details? Can you check the address? Look it up on Google Earth. How about the email address, do they have their own email address or is it a free one, like a Hotmail, Gmail or Yahoo account? Why would a company not have it's own email address? If there is a phone number, ring it on . Does it sound right, or does it go straight to answer phone? What is the pay? Do they claim that you could be earning thousands a week? Does it sound credible? You know the expression: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Does the advert claim that no experience is needed? How can you earn money at a job you know nothing of? You will need experience whatever you do. So you will have to make allowances for that. Also, does the advertisement target one group of people? Does it say, 'jobs for stay at home mums' or 'work for pensioners'? Why would a firm worry about where its staff comes from or how old they are? These are warning signs as well. Be very wary about using your own personal accounts for other firms. For example, a firm selling toys asks you to sell them on eBay or wherever you like. You place the adverts, you collect the money and they ship the items, for which you pay them and keep 10%-20%. The problem is, the company never sends the toys, so then eBay demands a refund, but you have already sent the majority of of it to the firm. Does the registration form want to know the ins and outs of your personal life? Why would they want to know whether you are single or not and how many children you've got? Why would they like to know whether you own your own home and while the insurance expires? Well, because they can sell this information or use it to spam you with personalized offers. Never give your personal banking details. Instead, open a special account solely for receiving income in and sweep it clean often or try to be paid via PayPal. There is a fee, but the money is secure and PayPal will chase up or right any illegal actions. Remember that anyone sending you money through PayPal will not require your password, they merely require their own! . Enter the name of the company into a search engine with the word 'scam' or 'difficulty', then try the same with the name of the website. Judge for yourself by the results. Any more than two or three complaints is a bad sign, but click the links and see if the concerns were resolved. Obviously a good company would endeavour to resolve any worries.
