Red Flag #1 - Promoted By Fake News Sites

These types of home business scams will typically use some sort of “table” to suggest that the more links you post, the more money you’ll make. They’ll also say something like:
“Let’s do the math: 15 links for $15 each equals $225. That’s $225 for 60 minutes of work! If you do this five days a week, you can make $1,125 a week… $4,500 a month… and $58,500 a year! And that’s just 1 hour a day, I do at least 3 hours per day Monday to Friday keeping the weekends to myself.”
Bogus income projection tables like this are frequently associated with scams – even older scams. For example, you may have seen claims such as:
- Earn $5.00 for each envelope you stuff for us!
- Make $25.00 For Every Email You Process!
- Earn $15.00 for each rebate you process!
- Earn $25.00 Per Order You process!
- Earn $15 for each link you post!
This is a dead giveaway that your dealing with a scam. Typically you’ll see something like one of the following:
"Currently 5 positions available in your country!"
or
"Congratulations! There is currently 1 position left in your area, don't miss this, grab it now!"
"Congratulations! There is currently 1 position left in your area, don't miss this, grab it now!"
