WWW Dot Com Frauds
Copyright © Katie Ford

There are several opportunities for someone to work from
home. One can do the popular thing and start an online
business. “It’s easy!” the advertisements say. “All you
need is a home computer and an internet connection.”
Starting an online business usually requires purchasing
a dot com address, or you can start out on a web page
offered through another site, normally for free.

Trying to research for information about web-based
businesses on the web is a bit difficult. When a link
is clicked, a page is brought up for you to fill out.
This page includes your e mail address, home address
and phone number. After several e mails, you sometimes
learn that it’s just spam and you’re not getting any
information at all about the business. Do your research
from the Better Business Bureau to find out which ones
are truly legitimate.

People are often targeted to stay at home and work. Retirees
and stay at home moms are some. A lot of new moms subscribe
to baby and parenting magazines and, if you’ve ever looked
in the back, there are numerous ads to work from home. They
include phone numbers to call; when you call there’s an
automated message to leave your information so that someone
can get back to you. They also include web addresses; when
you go to the site, there’s limited information but plenty
of spaces to fill in your personal information so that
someone can get back to you.

This isn’t to say that all home business opportunities are
a hoax. One thing is certain. With online businesses, you
need to spend money to make money. Data entry, survey
taking, e-mail reading all sound wonderfully easy and quick
to do. For a start up fee, you will be given a membership
to their dot com address and your information will be given,
and sometimes sold, to other online companies. But don’t
worry – you’ll make hundreds a day! This is where research
comes into play. Make sure what you’re getting into isn’t
a hoax.

You also need to be aware of what is called a pyramid scheme.
This is pretty easy to explain; one person starts this
‘business’ and they call others who, for a small fee, can
become employees. These people call other people who pay
another small fee and then they call more people… It goes
on and on. The only way to make money from the pyramid
scheme is to be the originator. And these things are illegal.
There are no real services provided, so it can’t legally be
called a business can it? Know what you’re getting into
before providing personal information so that you can work
from home.
