Home Business – Protect Yourself Against Scams
Sept 05, 2008
So you found a home business, but you want to know if it is a legitimate and honest before you jump in. That sure makes sense to me. Many people think about starting their own home business, but are apprehensive because they are afraid of being scammed. Protect yourself by researching the opportunity and company, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is a scam.
Are you aware of the fact, that there are many agencies you can use to check if a company is legitimate? Of course, you also have NewsGroups on the Internet to check on various home businesses and work at home programs and companies. Of course, the main issue here is to protect yourself. I hope the following information will be of some help.
* National Fraud Information Center: http://www.fraud.org
* Better Business Bureau: “http://bbb.org — There is a link to locate the BBB in your area. You will also find information on work at home opportunities and scams.
* The US Postal Service: http://www.usps.com/postal inspectors — The USPS has several pages that include, work at home scams, multi-level-marketing schemes and how to file a mail fraud complaint.
* Scam Busters: http://www.scmambusters.com

* The National Consumer League (National Fraud Information Center: http://nclnet.org
NewsGroups
* Google Groups: http://nclnet.org
* Yahoo Groups: http://www.groups.yahoo.com
You have all these agencies and groups in your corner. It would be very foolish if you did not take advantage of their services and information.
If you have already been scammed, you can report the company to the following agencies and/or perhaps they can help you get a refund,
1.) The National Fraud Information Center – 1-800-876-7060 or http://www.groups.yahoo.com

Please take the time to protect yourself. It’s not very difficult and later on down the road you’ll be glad you did. Oh, and by the way, Good Luck with your new Home Business!
