The easy marks to a scam are those that are new, inexperienced, or those that are desperately looking for a way to make some money, that swindler will usually target. Emotional hype and false sincerity are their ticket to a scam. Some are obvious, but others are not. Now, I mean no insult if you have been scammed – Why – been there and done that. Don’t be embarrassed or ashamed – be aware-- and vow to be ever vigilant in your choices. And remember to reassure yourself, that next time – if, heaven forbid, you should encounter another scam, you will definitely handle it differently.

Affiliate Scams

What constitutes an affiliate scam? 1. No contact information

2. Commissions to high -- (I know what you are saying – but commission looks so good? Are you sure?) Research – people do no remain silent when they have been scammed on Internet.

3. Your emails go unanswered. 4. Worse of all – your affiliate checks bounce.

Work-At-Home Scams

Work-At-Home scammers will gear their sights to Mom, who wants to work at home, or individual who lost their job, or individual who wants to supplement their income from an on-line venture. If you’re looking for a work-at-home position remember these warning signs:

1. If you have to pay to get access to site or database to make money – could be a scam. 2. If you receive an email – before joining – that says something on order of “No BS – this is a legitimate offer!” Stay clear – it is BS! 3. If you’re not been paid – strong indicator you have been scammed. 4. They change rules and pay days (to, of course, to string you along and avoid paying you).
