how can I tell if an intenet site is a scam? I'm particularly interested in data entry job scams?

Answer 1

If it's an Internet site that promises or implies that you can make good money if you sign up on their site, you can pretty much bet it's a scam. If they ask for a signup fee, then you can be sure it's a scam.

Answer 2

I will say it is absolutely not a 100% fact a business that asks for your money up front is a scam. I honestly and kindly want to say this is not always true. If you want to start a home business working online, there are sites that provide that method and they are legit. I paid up front for my own indepenent business travel website. Basically like owning my own expedia, orbitz...

Just like if you wanted to open a shoe store or sell t-shirts, you have to first pay for the store, the products you want to sell and other things. Those who have a wrong frame of mine are thinking of other types of scams on the internet.

There are a few options if you are looking to work from home or want to have a home based business. I personally have one and love it!

Our company is a medical insurance providing, publicly traded on the stock market company. We are the most legit business around, with a Bill of Rights in our business for our compensation plan, and more than this, we are doing something people love.

I work in the Travel Business, making commissions off of my personal travel website and from other areas of a home based business. My personal travel site is www.travade.com. You can have a site that looks just like it, but name it anything you want.

Travel is a $7 Trillion a year business, and the best part is you don't have to know or be an expert about Travel to join and begin working from home.

Here is a little about us from CNN Money:

These other links in my opinion really explain the business well:
www.travade.info
www.ytbvideo.com
www.howifiredmyboss.com

I am more than happy to chat or email about the business with NO pressure at all. I would love to answer any questions, as one who is looking into this type of business should have questions. My email is [e-mail] or chat via Yahoo Messenger.

Answer 3

To avoid scams altogether, check with companies in your area. Many companies outsource work these days... you may be able to do something at home for them.

Answer 4

If they ask for money up front, it's a scam.
