There is one way to clear out all your red flags, to notice which sites are real and which sites just want to take your money.

Here it is.

Notice in whatever kind of advertising that you are reading, notice how many "facts" are included. The more facts that you see, the more checkable resources or checkable research that there is in the site or in the email, the better chance you have of communicating with a legitimate offer or legit job.

In other words, examine these two ads and see if you notice a pattern:

" Great job, no experience necessary, make thousands each week. You will love doing this. You will really enjoy this and there is no work at all involved, just sit home and make money while you sleep".

And then there is the other ad:

"Call **( ... (their telephone number), and inquire about your appointment for interview. Our company sells living room furniture and we are looking for a salesperson for the showroom. Our showroom is located at 12 Smith Street, USA.

Here is our website,and our fax number. We have been in business for 20 years and we are a member of the Chamber of Commerce".

Now, reading those two, which one do you think is the real ad and which one is the come on --we want your money?

The second one would be the real ad.

Now, read all ads like you read those two.

Look for these things in the ads:

1. Does the company have a real phone, a real address, a home base, and a website. Are they actually physically real?

2. Are they asking you for money? (Red flag here)

3. Are they asking you to send a registration fee or a fee to cover processing? (RED flag here).

4. Are they never asking for your money (usually a legitimate business).

5. Are they asking for your bank account or for your paypal name and password (TEN red flags here).

6. Are they asking for personal information and yet you know nothing at all about their company except that you know their website which contains hardly any factual information(Ten red flags here).

These are ways to detect real companies from those that just want to take your money.

Be careful, be alert.
