How To: Avoid being scammed
Most of us have been scammed by some “get rich quick” type system. That said, we should work very hard to ensure that this will happen once at the most. There are a few things I do to make sure a system is worth the money before I spend any time or money on it. Using these rules could save you lots of money.
1) Contact details of seller
You should at all times have direct contact with the person you are buying the product from. If you don’t, how could you possibly expect anything good to come out of this? You can’t expect to hand out money to a complete stranger without even knowing his name or get any contact details.
2) Money back guarantee
Does this system offer a money back guarantee? If it’s any good, it will. Don’t even bother spending money on it if it doesn’t offer some sort of guarantee. If the creator doesn’t believe in the system, why should you?
3) PayPal payment
This is extremely important. If you buy the system and it’s not what the site promised, you will be very happy to hear that you can put in a claim with PayPal. They will investigate the matter and if they rule in your favour, you will get a full or partial refund. I have personally gone through this, so make sure to only use PayPal when possible.
4) Try before buy
This is a pretty good sign that the system is legit and most likely works. If you have nothing to lose, why not try it out?
5) Do you have to resell the same system?
These type of systems are the most common. They sell you master resell rights to a package that you have to resell to make money. Why not just download software/ebooks (with master resell rights included) from the internet (for free) and sell them. I have a few to choose from under the Downloads section, and will be adding more soon. You can download them and resell for whatever amount you choose. You keep 100% of the profit. You might wonder why I would be offering them for free. I will be answering that question later when I throw around a few ideas about making money from your blog.
6) Ask questions!
Contact the seller to get more details about the system. If he doesn’t want to tell you, he must surely be hiding something. You can expect not to get all the details, but you should at least get a good idea of what the system is about.
Final thought
Remeber, those sales letters you see were designed to do exactly that…SELL. Don’t get fooled by some guy on a photo standing next to a Porche or Ferarri. Be very careful who you give money to.
