Is this a scam?
Hi. I got a call last night from Generation X about a home business opportunity. They had ones that were free and others that had a start-up fee of $100. I chose a free one - wellness products. He gave me a website: www.discoverlinu.com/lifechanging. He said there would be testimonials from people earning a six-figure income. I went to look it up, and the site doesn't exist. I typed it in exactly as he said - all lowercase. Why would he give me a site that doesn't exist? He's supposed to call me back today after 12:30pm. What do I do? Hope someone sees this before he calls! Thanks!

Re: Is this a scam?
A start-up fee for a home business opportunity? I would not pay anything to sign up for an opportunity.Usually there are different upgrade options once you have signed up, but never any payments just for a sign up.I checked the domain with whois.org, and it does not exist.The domain name is currently for sale.The conclusion, it seems like a scam.

Re: Is this a scam?
When you get the feeling that something just isn't right, it probably isn't.
I have a great site for you to sell wellness products and other products for free.
Go to the my first signature url.
Go to the second opportunity "The Best Work at Home Opportunity."

I hate to see anyone to get scammed with a business opportunity. There are so many i realize it must be really hard to find a legit company. There are many legit opportunitys represented here at this forum. Also check out ripoffreports.com and scam.com. Please do your research befor giving out any money or personal information. If you have any doubts about a company go with your gut do not do it.

Thanks everybody! He did call back, and I had misspelled the website, and it does exist, but they were selling extremely expensive health drinks. They were like $50 for a one or two liter bottle! So needless to say, I didn't persue it.

Re: Is this a scam?
Generation X is actually a lead generation company. Some poor sap paid them like $3-$5 or so for them to direct you to his website.
Why don't you tell us what you are looking for in a business opportunity? Do you want an MLM, where you need to build a downline? Do you want an internet-based business, where you market online and let prospects come to you? Do you want to set up an affiliate marketing business, and sell other people's products for commissions?
What is your budget like for starting your business?
Based on what you are looking for, and how much money you have to invest, we can probably steer you in the right direction.

Re: Is this a scam?
There are so many opportunites, it is really hard to decide which one is 1) legit 2) which one you would be good at.
I run a distributorship program for my products, and I often times turn people away becuase I just don't think they would make any money with my products.
What you need to really ask your-self is what you would be good doing, and hunt for that. That is what I did, and I couldn't find it. So I made it my-self.
Best of luck to ya.

Re: Is this a scam?
So many programs. Many are really good. Nowadays, the start up costs are very low if anything at all. I would look for a business that comes with marketing tools that you can implement right away so you can get in the money ASAP. Hope this helps
