Exclamation Do Your HomeWork

You may not always be able to detect a scam but one thing is for sure,
spending just a few minutes time can save you a lot of time in the long
run and probably save your money too.

Things to look for :

-Is there a name on the site?
-Is there owners and founders info on site?
-Is there a contact email address?
-Is there a phone number?
-Where are they located?
-Is their email address a yahoo or hotmail email address?
-Is their site professional?
-Are there photos of the owners on site?
-Do they state bio's about themselves?
-What company is hosting their site?
-How long have they owned the domain?
-How fast do they respond to a question you send them by email?
-Are there terms and policies on site?
-Is there a guarantee?
-What is the guarantee?
-Do they offer refunds?
-What is their refund policy?
-Are there testimonials?
-Have you contacted 2 members to get their opinions?
-How long have they been online?

All of the above, truly only takes minutes and can save you a world of headaches.

It never ceases to amaze me the people that join and purchase things one day to see they have lost the next day simply because they did not take a few minutes to READ and look for the things as stated above.

IF all that info is not available, it does NOT mean its a scam.
IF all that info is available, it does NOT mean its not a scam.

What it does mean is, you have at least did some research and probably
lowered your risk considerably.

Default Re: Do Your HomeWork

This is great advice for anyone to have. I wish I would have looked at this prior to exploring some other business ventures I was suckered into. This is very good advice for life in general too.

Thanks for sharing,

Smile Re: Do Your HomeWork

I like all of your advice!
It is the right way to go about it!
I know you have listed the terms and policies, also known as polices and procedures or even
P&P's.
I never realized how hard those are to read! I used to ignore them!
But wow, some of the things they put in there are crazy.
Once again, Yourdaynow, Good advice!
Rhonda
