Telltale signs of stay-at-home business scams

Jun. 3, 2007 09:17 PM

 

Question: What precautions should I take with Web sites that offer consumers work-at-home businesses? Carolyn Eye, Phoenix

Answer: According to the Better Business Bureau, work-at-home scammers prey on seniors, the disabled, stay-at-home moms, and people with low income or low skills.

Typical signs of a home business con are outlandish claims about the product, exaggerated claims of potential earnings, the requirement that you send money to learn how the "foolproof" system works, claims of "no experience necessary," and the use of personal testimonials without identifying the people so you can contact them.
