Can any one tell me whether Better Business Beaureo (BBB) of Scam Free Zone certifications, etc., have some meaning? How scam free are scam-free websites? Recently, a work from home site has sent me mail claiming to have been certified by Scam Free Zone. Can I trust them? Some one with knowledge, kindly suggest. Thank you.

Hi vjagra, Your best bet is to call the Better Business Bureau(BBB) directly and speak to someone or e-mail them if it's possible. It's always better to be sure it's not a scam than to get involved and than lose money or have something else horrible happen. If it sounds too good to be true than most likely it probably is but their are some scam free legit work at home jobs/businesses you just have to find the right ones. If it asks you to invest money or put money down than it's most likely a scam, you shouldn't have to invest money to start a job. If your hired at your local grocery store you don't have to give them money to start so the same should go for working from home. If I were you, I'd definitely call or e-mail the BBB, they'd be able to tell you if it's a scam or legit,I'm sure now a days their getting many phone calls and/or e-mails since people are trying to find any work possible. They can most likely provide you with legit work at home jobs as well, I would at least hope they could, they should make this information available to everyone so people know what's real and what's not. I hope this has helped some, good luck!

Thanks for your suggestion. I will soon try contacting BBB and Scam Free Zone sites for inquiries. It definitely sounds funny when these sites claim that they can help you earn few hundred dollars per week for sure through their guidance, and then ask for a payment of $49.95 or $37 or $19. Thanks again.

A general rule of thumb, regardless of how many certifications they claim to have, is if the offer sounds too good to be true it probably is. I get offer's all the time. Some say make upwards of $35,000 to $40,000 within a couple of months. It all sounds so good except they always leave out one key thing. For that you have to buy their super duper package that will teach you how to do what it takes to get there. Some go as far as saying there will be no cost to you whatever. Just set it up and sit back and the money will come rolling in. And, oh by the way, our kit to tell you how to do all this for only $49.95. Enter at your own risk. If you can afford to throw that kind of money away, go for it, you never know what you may find out. But don't count on it being so easy or inexpensive as they say.

You are very correct. I really wonder if there are some genuine site or every body is merely trying to take your money and run. Some system of rating should be started on Internet so that bad guys are exposed and it becomes a place of trust and respectful business. Thanks for sharing.
