Default Work At Home Business Scams - How to spot

As financial times harden so does people’s desperation to work from home and make extra cash to get by. These individuals are increasingly being taken advantage of due to their dire situations. Hopefully this data shows the carnival with its jip joints for what it is.
I was browsing a work at home July 08 magazine today page by page, which is by the way all advertisements and testimonial articles paid for by the advertiser, I see brilliant dazzling feel good colors. Pictures of gold, riches and stacks of money. An inspirational message from successful billionaires telling you to get it while it’s hot before it’s all gone.
After I completed viewing the Magazine counting a total of 38 Full page adds out of 50 pages total.
The remainder pages were smaller adds and then the classified sections. The following is the Main Advertising title of each of those 38 full page adds only. I am not listing any company names or websites.

My first question is how do they get the money to pay for the full page ads.

I think if you find something that has a lot of hype that is what you will get hype. Scams normally are all hype. It is very scary seeing all of those. I don't believe any of them unless they say that it takes time and hard work. It is sad in this day and age that people are getting ripped off. I honestly feel sorry for people that are in such a pickle that they get scammed trying to help themselves out.

If you want a honest opportunity look at smaller ads with no razzle dazzle. Those are the ones that have the most potential of being real.

Hi Brandy,
First off let me say I like your way of thinking it’s refreshing and to the point.
Each full-page ad is real expensive; I never bought one so I know not the cost. You can fairly assume that each advertiser is making money off each or else they would not be advertising every month.
The way I see it is the publisher and the advertisers together profit from the ill desperation of others and yes I to think that it’s horrific and immoral but that’s the deal. These advertisers use these paid for ads to show their prospects as proof that they are a reputable money making opportunity and most prospects believe it and contribute more money by joining. The real sad part is the advertisers have no compassion at all for the prospects and in fact call them stupid and losers behind their backs for being greedy enough to believe and invest in such a venture.
They set up the desperate seeking needed work and income by enticing them with carnival draw. Then they make the kill once the prospect has been put in stupid mode due to greed stimulation.
There should be some type of test a person could take to determine if they have been stimulated into the stupid mode.

Totally agree. The magazines don't care who advertises as long as they pay. Which I think is sad. I also think that many times the scammers go into debt to pay for a full page ad, but get the money back when people buy into it- it really is just a business expense and tax deductible.
I found my opportunity in a Christian Magazine so I was skeptical, but really did think that they would check it out before publishing.
I really feel horrible for the people that have gotten scammed- there are so many that I speak to that have and I just want to cry. I really want to know how people can sleep at night knowing they have ripped good people out of their hard worked for money.
