From everything I've read in researching online money making systems I would steer well clear of this site. If you google it you get a lot of reports of it being a complete scam. The best advice I can give is if you're in doubt, don't put your money into it. You'll only regret it and then probably won't be able to get a refund.

Yes very good advise for sure!
Do your own due diligence and take your time and if you are running into descrepencies or negativity in any way, you may want to put it on the back burner and keep looking.
Good luck
John

Thanks so much you guys for the heads-up on this site. I recently read in Consumers Reports that this site and PL was 2 of the best at home business, I have heard some very good replies on PL. but not too good on Legitonline, so thaks for the advice. I really enjoy this site because so many members are very mcuh aware of the scams and what's not a scam. So what site have you guys heard or tried that are not scams, I'm trying to do a little something to get myself started online. I really think that SBI is going to be the one that I go with, but it's not easy getting up the first $300 payment fot the registration.. So what do you guys think. Thanks

I am going to give the BEST advice about these work at home "jobs". This is what I do as I am so immune to them;
1. when I find a work at home scheme, I go immediately to google and type in the name of the company and I search until I see negative links which is usually the first 1 or 2 links; not too hard to find, I READ THEM!
2. I then Google the location of that State Attorney General's office in that state where they are located, I find an email and a contact name and I forward the email immediately to that state Attorney General's email, then I spam the email I received.
Let me tell you the amount of emails have been considerably decreased since I started that system.
NEVER GIVE OUT ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION, THAT IS WHEN IDENTITY THEFT HAPPENS!!
If someone can make that much money, then that company would not be giving any information.
Just find a job; 8-5, 9-6, 1-9, or whatever and go earn your honest day's pay, you will feel so much better about yourself.
I cannot express how many state attorney general's offices compliment me all the time and how they wish other people did the same thing I do!
DO NOT FALL FOR THAT STUPID BANK IN THE OTHER COUNTRY THAT CLAIMS YOU HAVE WON MILLIONS!! CHECK GOOGLE AND FOLLOW MY LEAD!!

Legit on line is a fraud, they never give you what they promise, If you read good things about it is because people is trying to sell it, but belive me it is not worthed.

fsagarnaga: If you read good things about it is because people is trying to sell it
That's a very good point and probably 100% true.
When you look at the website it says...
"What If I Told You That 99% Of Income Opportunities Are Scams And That I Could Show You A Real System To Earn $200+ Per Day Working From The Comfort Of Your Own Home... Would You Be Interested?"
...which just goes to show how devious they are in their sales pitch. Trying to lure unsuspecting people into their system by inferring they are part of the 1% when in fact they are a large part of the 99%.
Another benchmark I use is to see if the name Sebastian Foss is associated with the program, if yes, run away very fast because it will be a fully-fledged scam, of professional proportions.

Well thanks guys, that's very nice to hear, about all the scams. I really think at this time that I will just have to find me a part-time job, don't need to lose any money that I don't have.

And I quote: "if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will.........I got spare time" I love that movie. Anyway, thats what happens alot with the whole wah programs. The impulse buying mixed with the guarantees and sales pitches, people get sucked in and attempting to try something they really did not want to try in the first place.

you can also (in the uk, maybe usa) look at the "companies house" register to see if they are a registered company and pay tax.

Wathc out for MAHIBAY.COM!! It is supposedly a dropship/wholesale company to where you can open your own site. Cost $6,000! They take the money and run! Zibus is another site they (Brandon R Boyd and Joshua Lee) Do not believe a word they say. I have a federal law suit against them. Hopefully the will go bankrupt or out if business. I would like my cash back but thats unlikely. DO NOT sigh with them or send any money. They are scammers and very good at lying. MAHIBAY.COM Watch out. Tell all. I want them gone/in jail. Were are talking about thousands of people scammed. At $6,000 a pop thats a lot of cash they got.

Hi! I have been working for a Health Benefits Company since Oct. 2006 and we have a startup but the company gives us everything to run the business from home. I think people often confuse a "job" and "business" I don't know of anyone who can start a business without any capital. My husband has a construction business that he started years ago and it was thousands between buying the tools, the truck and taking the tests to be registered.
My advice is to make sure the company has been around awhile. Also make sure they have training and support and a corporate office. You can't always go by ripoffreport and some of those other sites that others have mentioned because often times, there are alot of disgruntled people in there that start businesses and expect to get rich fast and when that doesn't happen they go on those sites angry..remember there is NO SUCH THING as a get rich quick! Any real opportunity, no matter what business it is will take a little time to learn. It's like starting a new job..it may take some a little longer to know the ropes than others!

If the home business ad has pages and pages of how easy it is, success testimonials, and tells you what your missing out on but does not actually state what your selling, what you will be doing, or how you make your money it's probably not a real work from home job. It is a scam. And I am sorry to say that in the past I had fallen. This is why these forums are so great because it makes it easier to get personal information as long as you research it enough.

Generally People Think Networking Marketing is all a Scam Because they have joined opportunity's and Fail terribly.. The Title Fools most People although most of the time its The Titles Are Pretty True.
I came to understand that they may have went through a ruff time before hand... For Instance..
"Learn how I made $5000 in my first week and heres how you can too" - It's most likely they went through some sort of struggle before - They Learned "The Code". Then after that a duplicated that in to another business and made $5000 in there first week.
I don't Know if you had a Clue what i Just Said/typed.. LOL
This Place is amazing .. nice to share information and ideas.. You are amazing so Grateful to be here.
People Get Lucky in Networking Marketing. most make sales from all the hype or because someone thought i was gone be easy quick cash.
Heres Something For You
TIPS :
1. People Don't Like to Be Sold Too. Imagine you go on a date and the female/male starts saying things like I LOVE YOU, I want to Marry YOU *Chuckle*.. "DO I EVEN KNOW YOU" Whats your natural Reaction..... *RUN* So in business they gone run too .. it isn't attractive to try sell your product or compensation plan. Sell Yourself Build Foundation for an ever lasting relationship.. Not A Quick Buck
2. My prosperity prospers others and there prosperity prospers
3. Give Away More In Value Than You Take In CASHHH... What you give away you get to keep.
4. You Can Only Earn Income To the Degree Your Awareness will Allow You To Keep, Also You Will Only Earn Income To the Degree You Can Replace Yourself
5. Web 2.0 Marketing isnt posting link and making videos its More than That!
6. Lead

I think that one has to be careful before joining any on or offline business.
Nevertheless, what makes online businesses so appealing is that there is a relatively low financial risk and affords everyone an opportunity to get on the playing field and make money.
However, you must believe in the product and have a passion for helping others to succeed.

If you have honest motives and are not in it "just for the money" you will attract success and earn the financial freedom you seek.

There is no way we can celarly identify scam or no scam. Only way is constantly monitor and do research on ROI. But it is really tough to identify the scams now a days.

Hi,
Scam, Hype, Whatever.
I've been looking for a good way to make a little extra on the internet. I travel about 10 months a year in my 40 ft. motor home and have found work in various places. I don't do the common workamper jobs, cleaning toilets or picking up after other. Most of the time it's some kind of sales and marketing. My wife and I have worked retail at several places just because it was an area we wanted to explore.
I decided that I would give the internet a try. I can't believe the stuff I'm seeing. It seems that most of the people that offer these programs were one step away from welfare, sick and disabled, about to loose their home or car and so on. Than out of the clear blue sky this wonderful program appears and they instantly become millionaires. Now out of the goodness of the heart they are going to help you become a millionaire.
Give me a break if you're making millions while you sleep why would you even want to spend time and energy plus divulge the "system"?
It seems that there is a common thread to almost all of these offers. I was broke, found this wonderful program, made millions, want to share it with you, oh by the way it will cost $$$$ but don't worry I'll guarantee the program for 56 days.
My question is has anyone really found a program that delivers? It doesn't have to be millions just a little to help fill my 150 gallon fuel tank that is currently $4.25+ a gallon.
If you don't want to go on record, please PM me.
I really enjoy the post here.

I agree with you, this people just try to take money out of needed people.
Remember usually, if it sounds too good to be true, it is not true.

There are alot of scams out there. You just have to find what works for you. But of course that is easier said than done.

It's not difficult to identify a scam when you know the tell-tale signs of one.
1. Policies and Procedures cannot be found anywhere on the company site.
2. Policies and Procedures are so long and loaded with doublespeak it takes a team of linguistics experts to decipher it.
3. Policies and Procedures cost money to get.
4. Policies and Procedures are not attainable through email, you have to wait for them to arrive by snail mail.
5. You jump through many hoops to get them snail mailed to you.
6. The company mails you their Terms and Conditions instead of their Policies and Procedures.
7. You go through all of the above a second time and finally succeed at getting someone to mail you the actual Policies and Procedures. (But you had to explain the difference between Terms and Conditions and Policies and Procedures to the rep you corresponded with BY FAX (because they wouldn't answer their darn telephone.) You have no idea why faxing them worked.
8. You get the mammoth document in your hands, lift the heavy cover open to the first page and start reading. By the time you get to page 3, you realize you had absolutely no clue what you just read means.
9. You paid good money for the document, you're bound and determined to read it. You push on.
10. A week later, you are done. And you're convinced you should sell your home so you can sign up as soon as you can. You're also thinking of who would be willing to buy your kidney.

I agree on not paying for work at home jobs, but there is a difference in a work at home opportunity where you work for yourself. No matter what always do your homework. Check the company out with the BBB. Check with people that are already doing the program. If the company is legit they will have no problem giving you references to talk to.

I stumbled upon this thread, and cannot believe what i read in the first post. Please tell me why MLM is being included in a list of scams. This is unacceptable. MLM is a legitimate business model.
MLM is taught in most business schools today as a very ethical and efficient business model. A quote from Dr. Charles W. King, Professor of Marketing at the University of Illinois in Chicago, and a Ph.D. in business from Harvard University, "Network Marketing or MLM is the one of the most efficient and ethical ways for companies to move products from the manufacturer to the end consumer." A university PhD said this, not just some joe shmoe from east nowhere.
Point number two:
photomom04: Can I add something here? The number one way to tell if something is a scam is if they are asking you to pay to work for them. If there are ANY fees such as a one time membership fee, a fee for "training materials" etc., it is probably a scam.
Then McDonalds, Starbucks, Subway all must be scams. To own a franchise in any one of these, and any other, one must pay franchise costs, and those are in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Wow! Big Scams, huh?
An MLM or non-MLM work at home opportunity by comparrison requires next to no cash outlay, and it's a scam? I don't think so. Vishal, i thought you were smarter than that. I have been very impressed with your posts, and others in here. I cannot believe what i have just read.
I suggest you all read my thread, "your biz is a scam" in the Oh my God, network marketing section of this forum. Network marketing, another name for MLM.
I suppose someone will boot me out of here for raising a fuss over this. But i could not sit idly by and allow those kinds of comments to go unresponded to. They are just absurd.

Vishal P. Rao: The first thing you should do to avoid being a victim of a work at home scam is to become aware of types of opportunities that are most commonly scams. Here, we discuss some examples of such work at home scams, so that the next time you come across such a sale letter or advertisement, you will be well-equipped to differentiate between the genuine and fake ones.
MPHayes,
The quote above is from Vishal. Notice the stated purpose of why he is giving expamples of work-at-home scams, MLM included: He says it's to help you "differentiate between the genuine and fake ones."
I am a network marketer - and proud of it. I love the MLM company I'm with. It's one of the genuine ones Vishal mentions. That's not to say Vishal endorses the company I'm with; he may have no idea what it is.
To me, he acknowledges the fact there are fake ones and real ones out there and encourages people to be savvy and well-informed.
That's how I - an MLMer - see Vishal's post.

Vishal P. Rao: Well, besides these two work at home scams, there are many more baits lying there for you. So, here we give a list of some of them. * Email processing � Just read emails and get paid $3/per mail. * Craft assembly for $600 a week. You have to call them and they send you a pamphlet with 100 companies to call, these companies will ask you to send $20 or $30 just to get the start up kit. * Multilevel marketing (MLM)
I beg to differ. It clearly states that besides those two there other baits out there, then a list is given, in which MLM is listed. He is not speaking in favor, rather he is including our industry in a list of things to beware of. read this in context and you will see what i mean.
I am proud of my MLM company, we are doing very well with it. I am tired of the industry as a whole being bashed by people with influence. Yes, there are bad companies out there. But all of them are not.

Mitch,
Maybe you're right. I don't want to believe it but I think you're right. I re-read Vishal's post again a little slower this time and I can see your point quite clearly. It does appear Vishal lumped MLM in with work-at-home scams. He posted it back in 2005. I wonder if he's changed his mind since then?
Vishal? I had no idea!
Thanks for speaking up Mitch.
Rob
