Pay attention. Many families are facing this economic situation and are looking for new opportunities to make more money. However they are some offers that turn out to be too good to be true. "Clasic work at home" Have you ever seen an ad like that. I believe yes.
There are everywhere, and people unfortunately for obvious reason want to go for that. They fall off in a tramp. These ads, "Medical billing, promoters promise you can earn a substantial income working with a small fee".
Mike Bannon, director of Bucks County Consumer Protection, which has seen an increase in work-home complaints in the past nine months. The victims cash the checks and sends the refund, often before the scamer's check bounces in their accounts, these checks are often fake. \
The Federal Trade Commision received 20,286 complains related to this subject in 2008 and 17,294 in 2007.
Consumer are more vulnerable because of the recession, they are facing foreclosure and other financial problems.
A big advise, "Don't put any money up from. Just stay clear. If you see something and you are not too sure, call Consumer Affairs, they will check it. But don't invest. There's is no free lunch, and there are no giveaways. There never were, but now people have to learn to contrl their emotions.

I have always found that these "big money" schemes were too good to be true. I would never send money to make money. Makes no sense.
ReplyDeleteThese schemes definitely require you to read the fine print on the contract. There have been cases where the person taking the stay at home job found themselves doing things that they did not realize were illegal. People are desperate in these economic times and unfortunately that leads to making some poor decisions.
