Classically, internet scammers start by stressing your weak points and all the pain you have in your classical 9-5 job to increase your motivation to buy from them. Then, they come up with a very promising and legal like chance to solve all your problems.

Unfortunately, I lost few thousands of dollars in the last whole year trying to finally find legit work at home jobs and now I can tell you that most of these get rich quick programs are nothing but scams who promise you the moon and finally leave you again disappointed.

Lesson (1): Internet Scams do Succeed. Why?

The first reason is most of the get rich schemes devote reasonable time and energy to let you think that it is one of the top serious legitimate business opportunities that finally achieve your dream to make easy and fast money on the internet. A wise idea is to check their credibility using other popular internet marketing forums to see how serious and honest they are.

Secondly, internet frauds do another good job in stressing on your pain to push you to get the response they would like to have from you. It is not your personal problem as it has something to do with human nature. It would help you to guard yourself against internet scammers if you learn how to stop yourself being driven to their favorable action. A good idea is never to buy the fist home based business you find around even if they promise you immediate online income.

Lesson (2): Legitimate Business Opportunities: How to Check?

The mistake I did in my early stages of building my online business is that I ran after these promises which were nothing but a big loose in time and money. I listed for you here the common characteristics that these scams share:

Scam websites do not stand alone but they usually link to other websites asking for more money.

They never offer your fresh and up to date content. Add to this, some of their links might do not work if you click on them.

Poor customer support: Send them an email asking a question!

No refunds: Play the role of an unsatisfied customer asking for his money back and see!

They do not have affiliate programs at widely accepted networks like clickbank.

Lesson (3): Hard Facts of Legitimate Business Opportunities.

There is no way to be rich in few days if you like to do it using a legit work at home business. Spreading your word and building credibility would take you time and effort.

To succeed in legitimate business opportunities, take an action and plan your action. Otherwise, you would never earn thousands just by hoping that it would happen.

Real and serious part time home jobs does not need only few minutes work per day as non serious opportunities promise you.

Are you willing to make full time online income in just a couple of weeks? Then, legitimate business opportunities are not the right choice for you.

Therefore, if you face any online business opportunity that promises you one of the above points, please be very careful and start first by testing them. To do so, here are my final advises for you are:

1. Play the role of a future customer and mail them asking for more details to see how they react.

2. Refunding is a key point to decide if they are really serious. Check their process to pay your money back in case you are not happy with their money making program.

3. You do not have to be scammed your self to learn. Just learn from the others, and to this goal, have a deep look at popular internet marketing forums to see what other marketers experienced with this program. - 15485
