Don’t get ripped off by unscrupulous work at home opportunities.
Before investing your time or money into any home based business do a little homework first.
At a minimum do a Google Search to see what information pops up about the business.
Check the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to see if they have listed or rated the company.
Caution: A BBB listing is typically from a paid fee from the company to the BBB. This can influence the ratings as the BBB would want to do as much as they can to maintain a revenue stream.
But, if enough complaints are made against them you may find a negative report which would be a real good indicator to stay away.
A very useful resource is the RipOff Report ( http://www.ripoffreport.com )
Read their About Us page to get a good feel for what they do.
Put RipOff Report at the top of your list before joining anything, and keep them in mind should you need to file a report yourself.
If you can’t find any posts about the opportunity or business - that’s a good thing.
Depending on what type of business arrangement you plan on having you might also want to perform a people search on them.
