The following list give you an overview how you can identify a scammer and bad selling products without making a background check - only by reading their offers with an open mind:
- Earnings in the spotlight
Every advertising, which puts the amount of earnings into the spotlight, is nothing else than scam. As higher the promoted earnings are, as less reachable they will be for the case it is not a scam.
- Pay per sale
Even the client knows that his product is hard to sell. If the client has an easy selling product, than he would offer only an hourly rate for the sales people.Each business is done for making profit. Nobody likes to pay more than absolutely necessary.
- High commission per sale
As higher the promised commission per sale is as more difficult is it to sell the product. Nobody likes to pay more than it is absolutely necessary to find someone to doing the work.
- Offer without a picture of a real person or of a celebrity
The salesperson already cannot show his face in public. Maybe he/she has scammed already some people and need to hide himself for this purpose. It is also possible that such a person gets searched already by the police or Interpol. They are browsing the social networks too.
- Offers without an email address
Such an offer is only a time waster. Such people even don’t know that the world has 24 time zones and are expecting that everybody is waiting for them.
- Calling data (phone numbers with names) are not provided by the client
Address agencies are already to expensive for the client. He expect that you are making with already heavy used data a big business. Hopefully the client will be able to pay the center for their work,
- “genuine” offers
Where is only written about a “genuine” campaign or product than it is only scam. The person, who is offering something like that, does not even know what he is offering.
- Email me for more details
That is only a time waster. Such people are only collecting email addresses. Maybe they can sell It somewhere. A normal salesperson will describe his product very well, because he has less work with false requests in this case. Why he should make more work for himself than necessary.
- Call me for more details
That is even a larger time waster. Such a person is already afraid from the written words, which can get used against him. For this he likes to speak only. Such offers are in each case only a scam.
- Act fast phrases like "Last Chance", "Limited Slots", "Limited Seats", "HURRY UP", etc.
The best translation would be: Don’t prove the offer or make a background check. In such a case you’ll find the scam immediately.
- Any upfront fees – however they are getting called
That is the plumpest scam ever. If a client likes that you are using special software, than he has to pay for it. Maybe the client is already nearly bankrupt and cannot pay already the products, which you should use. In such a case he would even not be able to pay you for your work in the case it is not only a scam.
- Royalty fees
It proves only that the “broker” has no contract with the client. For this is it already scam.
- Security deposit
A security deposit is given normally to this one, which is working and has some investments to do. This is in the case the call center, because they are investing in staff and phone minutes. The broker gets paid from the client for whom he is working.
- Exuberant praising a product or campaign
You will not be able to sell such a product to normal people. Such products are normally overpriced and trash. The purpose of such a behavior is to find stupid people, which will buy it. With the exuberant praising of a product or campaign the salesperson likes to hide the known problems of the product.
- MLM – Multi Level Marketing
In such a system are getting low quality products for a very high price sold. The product price needs to pay your upline and need to be a winning for the company. You need to be happy if you are at least earning the costs you have with it.
- Repeated posting of the same campaign
Real campaigns need to get posted only once, they get very fast taken. If a campaign gest posted longer as a few days then is in any case something wrong with the campaign.
- The offer sounds too good to be true
In this case the offer is only a scam
As more from the above points are fitting to an offer as higher is the risk for running into a trap.
If the offer is interesting than you should continue with making a background check to avoid getting scammed.
