How To Identify A Phone Scam?

August 29, 2008 By: Victoria Ling Category: General No Comments →

After receiving so many calls from people telling me that they can help me make money overnight, I can say that I know what they will say most of the time.

So, if you hear the same conversation, please be extremely alert and do not let greed overcome you.

1. Usually, they will say they called you from being referred by some big name internet marketers.

2. Then they will tell you that they can help you make a huge amount of money  (usually in the tens of thousands in a month)

3. You only need to pay one lump sum and they will do the rest.

4. They will ask for your credit card number.

The ending is either you bite or you say good bye (rhyme intended ;)

So please do not be gullible to fall for these crap.

You need to work and put in effort to start and maintain your online business. It will never be 100% hands free.

Keith Wellman Called Me This Morning…I Smelled A Scam…

August 28, 2008 By: Victoria Ling Category: General 2 Comments →

I received a call from “Keith Wellman” this morning and I was pissed by the rampant online scams.

I have been receiving more and more calls from the so called gurus or was asked by the gurus to call me.

The call started with the caller identifying himself as Keith Wellman and said that he only worked with 20 people a year and will help me make money within 24 hours. Don’t they all say that? ;)

Then he also said that he will help me make $2400 a week or something, I can’t remember and then $60,000 a month. Too good to be true, isn’t it?

The rest of the call went like this: (KW - Keith Wellman)

Me: Are you sure you are keith wellman? You don’t sound like him.

KW: yes, I am keith wellman, You saw my videos? …So you know how i look?

Me: Yes, Keith has a unique voice and you are certainly not him.

KW: Well, I am Keith Wellman and I can help you make $60,000 a month.

Me: What do I have to do?

KW: You only pay for the advertising costs, a small portion of about $10,000. (seriously, I don’t even know what he was talking about at this point)

Me: I can’t pay the costs.

KW: Do you have a credit card or debit card?

Me: No.

KW: …….(line went dead)

Well, you draw your own conclusions ;)

Just want to share this little incident with you and hopefully, you don’t fall into the scam trap.

If you wish to start an online business, focus on one aspect first and don’t hope for the secret solution that will make you tens of thousands overnight.

I’ll talk about how to identify a scam tomorrow.

Take care!
