subject: How To Avoid Internet Business Hoaxes [print this page] We can safely surmise that everyday somewhere in the world, one fool falls for Internet business hoaxes, hard. This is such a sad turn of events considering that the Internet itself offers a wealth of information about the many types of online hoaxes, the many ways to detect them and the many methods to avoid them. It just so happens that many people still fail to pay heed to good advice.
Well, there is absolutely no need for you to become yet another statistic - if anybody is counting, that is - of an online business hoax. You should take note of the following ways to avoid these hoax, save yourself the time and effort and, more important, keep your precious money to yourself.
First, you have to check the site itself. Most, if not all, Internet business hoax will not provide complete information about the:
* The names of the person/s behind the product since a company or business name is insufficient evidence of legitimacy where the Internet is concerned.
* A verifiable telephone number to which cases, complaints and concerns can be made.
* A confirmed complete address since a Post Office box address simply will not do for this purpose.
Now, if one of these factors is absent, it does not necessarily mean that the offer is a hoax. Instead, you have to delve deeper into the possibility that it may be a legitimate business offer only with a minor detail overlooked. Or maybe it is a hoax, after all, but that's what your investigation should tell you in the end.
Second, you will know Internet business hoax from the words used in their sites. Look out for these sentences in their various disguises:
Get rich quickly! Our program allows you to sit back and relax while the money rolls in to your account. Just look at a snapshot of what you can earn in a week, month, etc. Do you want to earn cash today? Do you need a job but only wants to work from home? Do you want to earn money in your spare time and in your pyjamas?
Indeed, when the emotion of greed manifests itself in you, it is better to run in the other direction because that is exactly what online hoaxers feed on - your greed and lust for money and more money.
Third, you should never ever pay to be able to avail of moneymaking opportunities. If you are asked to do so, then you can bet on your bottom dollar that you have just stumbled into one of many Internet business hoaxes. And to make matters worse, you might even be paying them your last dollar, too!
Keep in mind that online hoaxes prey on the desperation of people to find decent jobs to support themselves during the Great Recession we are in now. Don't be so desperate as to bet your bottom dollar, and possibly your future, on business hoax that you could have avoided had you taken the time to closely look at the offers.
In conclusion, you can, you will and you should avoid falling victim to Internet business hoax. There are legitimate offers out there such as Internet marketing that provides for a decent income with a decent amount of work poured into the endeavor. And yes, these are work-at-home jobs, too. But that's another story altogether.
