HELP US HELP YOU - Tell Us the Home Business Site You Want to be Tested
We all know that most online businesses are frauds and most of us have been victims to these frauds more than once. So how do we know which ones are actually legitimate? The same way I have- trial and error. This is very risky however, because many of us can’t afford to try different online businesses…
Well I Have Helped All of You Out:
WHY? Just about a year ago, my best friend got ripped off in BIG-time ($2300) from an online business scam that nearly ruined her life…Nobody F**Ks w/ my family/friends! So I decided to take action: I talked to my aunt and cousin about making our own online business of protecting others from Home Business scams…well, maybe someday we’ll get money from it but until then it will certainly help others…
HOW We Determined Fraudulent Sites: We tested 27 different Work At Home businesses that were posted all over the internet, over a period of 7 1/2 months (it took so long bc we had to put $ into each one to try it and very few refunded our membership). We found only 3 legitimate sites and they were all surveys (the ones posted on this blog and I have remained a member of them ever since). The 3 of us tried each of these sites so we could write a detailed description of our experience ($$ spent to start, what was received, the steps we did to try and make it work, our interaction w/ customer service, outcome, etc…).
I’m too nervous about somehow getting in trouble by listing the exact site info of each fraudulent one in case of any legal issues it may cause. However, I’m just now trying to generalize the results into categories and post you a ‘Top 10 Home Business Scams‘ list, the outcomes of each one, tips to avoid and distinguish these scams from the very few Legit Home Businesses, and the 3 Legit sites we found.
***While I put all of this together, I was hoping to get some advice on:
- How to go about shutting the fraudulent sites down (besides BBB- that’s what we’ve started doing thus far).
- How to tell everyone our results while avoiding legal issues/problems from the Fraudulent sites.
- A list of Home Business programs that you want us to check out.
- Finally, if you have any knowledge of how we could use this data to get a small profit out of it (to repay $ put into it & fund future testing of sites requested by others).***
OUR GOAL: Prevent others from getting ripped off from Work At Home Businesses; Shut down these fraudulent sites; Help others get their $$ back after trying a fraudulent program; and to gather ideas on how we could get reimbursed for the $$ we put into this project (sites/companies that would help/sponsor us, or maybe charging about $2 for the entire list if viewers requested it- *but at the same time avoid lawsuits from the fraudulent companies at the same time, etc…).
HELP US HELP YOU!!! Send me a message w/ your advice and look for future postings to learn about the sites we tested.
*The Home Business Detectives (we’ll set up a website in the future as well).*
