Warning: Misleading Home Based Business Ad - Work From Home

Posted: Oct 13, 2010 |Comments: 0 | Views: 102 |

There is a very misleading home based business ad which is currently being advertised on some very poplular websites, and you may have seen it. I know there are lots of these ads out there, but this one is particularly easy to identify because it leads with the headline "Work At Home Mom Makes $8,795/Month Part Time."  Then, right below that, is another eye catching statement "As Seen On MS/NBC,ABC,USA Today,CNN"  plus several other notable mainstream media outlets. To top it all off, the entire ad is formatted on what appears to be an official newpaper or television or media website, which is supposed to add even more credibility to this misleading opportunity.

Well, first of all, I went and filled out all the information, just to see what I could learn because they didn't offer up anything in the first page. Initially I was stuck reading an entire page of nothing but a story of a girl in my city, who has made $8000-$9000 per month working at home. Of course, Kellie Richards, the girl, does not exist....at least not in my town. Her name and my city are both conveniently filled in automatically whenever my computer server's ip address is read by this scam operation. And of course, when the next guy or gal from Las Vegas or Dallas, or Philadelphia clicks on the ad, then Kellie Richards will then appear to be living in those cities. So you get the idea. They simply want to make you feel comfortable that somebody in your area is already successful.

Well after that first page, I was taken to yet another page where I had to fill out more information and give my address and phone number, which I did, and then after that I was taken to yet another page where I was told I could get my free starter kit for just $9.95. Well, it ended there because I am not sending it any money because I still don't have a clue what they do to earn $8000-$9000 working at home like Kellie Richards, who doesn't exist in my town anyway.

Don't fall for this scam or any other misleading ad which makes promises or claims of incredible income if you just send some money or sign on the dotted line. The only way to earn money online is with training: real training, coaching, and mentoring from someone who has already been there. Get involved with an internet coach or coaching center which can help you learn the ins and outs of online marketing, as well as save you a lot of money, which hundreds of scam artists are constantly attempting to get from you.

    A discount plan will allow anyone to saveon dental by presenting a membership card at the time appearing for the appointment. Savings using a discount card can be anywhere from 25% tp 80%, as long as the dentist is a participating provider. In addition, discount plans are not subject to copayment or deductibles, there are no limits, and no one is ever turned away because of an existing condition. These kinds of benefits are attractive to people who may have been turned down by insurance plans.

    With the high price of health insurance today, there are many families who simply cannot afford to have coverage for their loved ones. In fact, even those who can afford the $500 or $600 per month for an insurance plan, still may find that the company's plan will not cover certain conditions if there is a prior history involved.
