Uncovering Internet Business Scams

For years, internet business scams would create landing pages for their eBook “success systems” which contained testimonials from fictitious satisfied customers. Internet business scams would also over-promise but under-deliver (e.g. you’ll earn $5,000 each week by working part time hours). But, thankfully as of December, 1st 2009 the FTC has made it illegal to include any fictitious or over-dramatized results. Sure, there will still be many internet business scams around that do not comply with the new FTC guidelines, but eventually they will be dealt with and shutdown.

When considering the purchase of a product that may potentially be an internet business scam, analyze every detail. If the product promises to make you riches for little to no effort on your behalf, there has to be a catch. Nothing of any value comes easily; keep that phrase in mind when analyzing potential internet business scams. To ensure that the product you’re interested in isn’t an internet business scam, enter the phrase “(insert product or company name) scam” into Google or Complaintsboard.com. If it is an internet business scam, surely others who’ve fallen for the internet business scam have made the online world aware of their complaints.
