Internet Scams
The Truth About Internet Scams.
Internet scams are more plentiful than ever. Most online scams have origins in the off-line world and they have been brought on board the net by con artists and frauds.
Internet scams come in all shapes and sizes. But I'm going to show you some proven methods for sniffing out and identifying most scams on the net. Just read below and you'll be one step ahead of the scammers!
The first and easiest way to identify a fraud, scam, or con artist is to simply check for a phone number listed on the website in question. Con artists and scammers almost never list a phone number. And in the rare event that they do list a phone number, it's usually not answered. So even if you see a phone number listed, be sure to call it just to talk to a representative from the company. If you get a voice mail message, be sure to leave your name and number. Don't do business on that website until you get a call back from a representative. And even if you get a call back from a rep, be sure to ask questions such as this:
How long have you been in business? Can you give me some references from your past customers? What is your physical location and would you mind if I drive by to look at your building? What is your refund policy? What can you tell me about your products?
Lastly, be sure that the website in question lists a physical address on their website. If all they list is an email address or a contact form for you to fill out, I'd be extra cautious in doing business with them. There are plenty of other companies out there that do list a physical address and answer their phone all day long. And that's exactly the kind of business you want to work with.
You can also go to deja.com which will take you to google groups where you can type in the name of the business, company or individual person in question to see if there are any complaints floating around the net. Yah, everyone tends to be a complainer on the net, so you have to take your search results with a grain of salt, but it wouldn't hurt to look and see. Right about now, you're probably saying "Why not just call the better business bureau?"
You should understand that the better business bureau is not a government agency like the F.T.C.(Federal Trade Commission) and they don't have any authority like the FTC. In fact something most people don't even realize is that the better business bureau has complaints against itself! Yes, there are people that have called the police on the Better Business Bureau! I have been mislead and mis-informed by the BBB on several occasions. I've heard so many bad things about the BBB, that I don't give them much credit anymore. In my opinion, the FTC is the most powerful agency policing the internet and they're the only one I trust.
You can also go to websites such as OnlyReviews.com to investigate and look up companies before you do business with them.
Be sure to only do business with companies offering at least a 30 day money back guarantee.

I have been both. My first husband and I divorced when my daughter was 2 and I was a single mom and worked. Now I am a stay at home mom and I can tell you that being a single mom and working was by far the hardest thing I have ever done.. for me staying at home is a cake walk..I have 3 a home right now ages 14, 8 and 4 and although at times it is kind of crazy it is by far easier than when I had 1 and worked. I have all the sympathy for working moms and single moms it's not easy as a matter of fact it is damn hard. My hats are off to you..keep up the good work and rest assured it will get easier .

You actually have a few different options. There are a couple different home jobs you can do. Understand that they are minimum wage earnings, so you won't make a sufficient amount of money. After taxes, you will end up making below minimum wage.Here's a couple URL's you can take a look at and apply. I can't guarnatee that you'll get the job, home jobs are high in demand because of the gas prices which causes food and everything else to go up, but you can apply.

If you need more then a minimum wage job, then I suggest you take a look at a home based business opportunity. There are plenty of options out there through many different industries. My husband and I have had our home based business for over six years now. It's an incredible adventure!
If you'd like some ideas on home based businesses, I've created a blog on my yahoo 360 page on this topic. Over half a dozen different industries to take a look at. I've had friends of mine who are in different industries and have their own business inside a business and do very well. A lot of information on my blog on scams, reports, bbb and a lot of other things you should read on.

Are you looking for a job or to work a home based business? I run a home business and we are really hitting the Canada market and yes you do actually make money, but it is a business, not a job.
