Examples of Work-from-Home Scams
Internet Auction schemes
Below is an example of an actual email promoting a work-from-home product that is much more likely to transfer your money to the guys selling the scheme than it is to make you wealthy!
Notice the typical signs of a worthless product, scam or gross exaggeration:
-
Hype and exaggeration!
-
Vague and ambiguous statements about how it works
-
A focus how greed and making wealth, rather than sound business principals and the mechanics of the plan
-
Do it in your spare time!
-
Claims that, unlike all the others, "This plan works!"
-
Unsubstantiated claims "we've made thousands of people wealthy", earn "thousands $$$ per month"
