To begin to easily spot scams you need to be made aware of the types of opportunities that are usually scams. Once you have a good grip on these, you will be fully equipped to know a rip-off when you come across it.
The three main types of scams that we are going to talk about is envelope filling, home assembly and chain letters or emails.
Envelope stuffing sounds so great. I remember when I was younger I got a letter that said they would pay me one dollar for every envelope I stuffed. I was so excited, send them to me and I will load you up. The offer was that they would send me 300 envelopes and letters, all I had to do was fill them and mail them. I couldn't wait. A week went buy and finally my 300 envelopes came. What a rip. They sent me 300 envelopes and 300 copies of the sales letter I had just received. The way it worked was I was to place an ad in the newspaper and require people to send me a dollar for postage for their free information. The information was the sales letter I got, and then if they were dumb enough to fall for it the company I paid was going to rake in $20 for the package.
Home assembly works the same way. I tried to do this too. I ordered a package for $20 for this duck light switch cover craft assembly. I paid about twenty dollars for it also. They sent all the supplies to make the switch covers, and they were going to pay me $3 for each one I made. The stupid assembly instructions were so complex that it took me 3 hours to make one that sucked, plus I still had to paint it, then get it to pass their quality control examination. Basically I could make about twenty bucks per day if I worked 24/7 and made these flawlessly. I gave up after I spent an hour sawing out the first one.
Chain Letters, I will say these never got me, but they are scams. No matter which you get that says to add your name to the list and then rearrange the information is a scam. Very few people will follow up on this and really do it. In reality most will just eliminate your name, add theirs and then mail out the letters. That's what I tried. I took someone's name off the list and sent out to a mass email list I had of opportunity seekers. I think I made a dollar. You get no money, your name is removed and the other person who did it gets no money either. They try to fix this by saying it doesn't work if you don't mail a dollar to every person above you, but I can tell you it doesn't work then either. How the heck is anybody going to know if you mailed a dollar to the person above you.
Anything in this world that sounds too good to be true almost certainly is, it is that simple. The above information is dedicated to those who have received envelope stuffing, home assembly or a chain letter. You now know these are absolute scam material. Don't fall for this material; seek out a legitimate online opportunity.
