Beware! Of "Work from home" Wolf Tickets (Part 2)
This article is a continuation of Beware of "work from home"
wolf tickets (Part 1). If you have not read it, you can read it
here www.telerepsathome.com/workfromhomewolftickets.html; I
suggest you read it first. I will briefly highlight some points
from part 1 to help you follow along.
In 1995 I begin to educate myself on these heartless home based
job stealers; I started recognizing their identifying traits. I
uncovered other resources that existed whom could give me
details about the business practices of companies. Friends and
family begin to come to me with questions about businesses and
how to do further research on the vague company report given by
the BBB. Back then, it was like a scavenger hunt trying to
identify Wolf Tickets and finding resources that could help, but
today this information is more prevalent than ever. Before we
review how to resist wolf tickets, let's talk about the 3 most
common Wolf Tickets today.
The 3 most common Wolf Tickets being sold Today
* Data Entry Jobs: Data Entry jobs are the most sought after job
by work from home candidates. Scammers are aware of this. There
are legit data entry jobs out there, but these are far and
in-between. Use caution when applying for data entry jobs on and
off-line. Ask other home based job seekers what companies they
recommend.
* Mystery Shopping list: Many ads claim to get you started with
mystery shopping; you may or may not receive a list of
companies. Mystery shopping jobs are very time sensitive.
Assignments have to be done on the day specified. So, a list of
jobs would not be beneficial. You can find companies and
up-dated jobs at mysteryshop.org (Mystery Shopping Providers
Association)
* Survey Web Sites: Despite the hype, surveys are not a quick
way to make a lot of money from home; a real research project
may take 30 to 45 minutes to complete, paying you a whopping! $5
to $10. The most common method of payment for surveys are-- gift
certificates, products and points. Cash is seldom paid, if you
do receive a check it is not enough to call an income. A lot of
survey sites are just companies linked to affiliate companies
that pay the web site owner just for you signing up, although
you may never receive a market research assignment-- you will
get an inbox full of solicitations. People usually fill out
surveys to get free stuff.
In Part 1 of wolf tickets we discussed three steps you need to
take to resist these wolf tickets, Avoid, Identify, Report.
These three steps formed the word (AIR) because this is what
scammers are full of. Let's see how you can apply these words in
your home based job hunt.
1. Avoid- Wolf tickets by knowing the words that are printed on
them.
* Easy Money
* No experience required
* Everyone Qualifies
* Offer of Unrealistic Pay Check (1,000.00 per wk)
* 1-800# with 20 different extensions which lead to the same
company
2. Identify-Know how to identify Credible Jobs and Companies
* Real jobs do not center on how much you are paid, their main
focus is finding the right candidate for the job.
* Web Site presence, because the site has a web presence it
doesn't mean it's legit, but it's better than just a P.O. Box.
Look for... contact information-- phone numbers, email address,
and office location. Find out the number of years they have been
in business. Identify the owner or President. Look for press
information; Press Releases, Magazine Articles, etc...
* Start- up fees is not required, the exception to this rule is,
some companies may
require a fee for background checks or credit
checks. But this usually comes after the interview and you know
you have the job.
* Real Companies post jobs on job boards frequently visited by
Candidates, they do not send you spam emails about this
wonderful position they have. Email from a company, you did not
apply for-- is a red flag!
3. Report- To the "Wolf Ticket Watchers" They are...
* The Federal Trade Commission-www.ftc.gov
* Bad Business Buearu-www.ripoffreport.com
* National Fraud Information Center-www.fraud.org
* Web Assured-www.webassured.com
The 5 most targeted group of people
In Part 1 we identified the 4 most targeted groups of people,
they were...
* College Students
* Senior Citizens
* Moms
* The Disabled
In Part 1, we also discussed that the biggest target market of
this group is stay at home moms. However, since this group of
people has become schooled on scams, Scammers are now trying to
slither into the wallets of a new target. Who are they?
A new Target of Wolf Tickets
That new target is our teenagers. Teenagers are 5th on our list
of the most targeted group of people. They are the new
generation whom is falling prey to Wolf Tickets, because of
access to the internet our teenagers are being sucked in by
scams. They get spam from them in their email box or a Pop- up
from a website they frequent may entice them to get mom and
dad's credit card. These wolf tickets are enticing to teenagers
because they are eager for Independence, and they believe that
having their own money is going to give them that.
TeleRepsathome surveyed a group of teenagers, and the results
were unnerving! Either they or their friends had encountered a
work at home scam. When asked what they would do with the
money-- they thought they were going to make, the answers came
pouring out; buy clothes, get a cell phone, buy fast food, get
cds and the list goes on. Note to Parents: Start educating your
teens about Scams.
Teach your teenagers the (AIR) Technique, since children learn
better by doing here's an exercise you can do together, this is
an example of 2 real work from home scam ads, found in the local
newspaper.
(1st Ad)
Headline: Make $3,264/Weekly
Body: Processing Rebates Online! Earn $15.00/Per Refund
Guaranteed. Extremely Easy. No Experience Needed
(2nd Ad)
Headline: Earn $950 Weekly
Body: Typing From Home. Data Entry Workers Needed! Everyone
Qualifies. No experience required
Now, you have your teen spot the red flags in Ad #1 and #2?
* Unrealistic Income
* Extremely Easy
* No Experience Needed
* Everyone Qualifies
Teenagers are the most naive out of the 5 most targeted groups
of people, they are unaware that scams exist and oblivious to
the strategies that are used. Here's something to think about,
when the teenagers were asked why they didn't take the bait--
the most common reply was, "because I did not have a credit
card". Not, because it was a scam.
