If you respond to an ad like this one...
YOU COULD
GET
SCAMMED!!!
The Tracer Association Page
does not advertise a real business opportunity. The ad is a fake, posted by
the Federal Trade Commission to raise awareness about the hazard of business
opportunity fraud on the Net. No information about you has been
transmitted to or collected by the FTC.
DON'T BE A
VICTIM OF CYBERFRAUD
Beware of online business opportunity advertisements
that make exaggerated earnings claims and ads that offer little product
information but lots of promise.
Use extreme caution before sending bank
account or credit card information online.
Use caution when transmitting address and other personal
information. This information is used by scam artists to compile "sucker"
lists.
BEFORE YOU INVEST...
Get disclosure
documents and review them carefully. In most cases, the law requires
business opportunity and franchise promoters to give potential buyers
detailed information about the business and about company finances.
Check to make sure the business opportunity complies with applicable
state registration laws.
Research the business and the market, and talk to current investors.
Additional information about Franchises
and Business Opportunities is available from the Federal Trade
Commission. Real information is also available about the
HUD/FHA
Mortgage Insurance Refund Program. |
