What is Scam?

One Important thing I always tell my viewers, We all do business to favour both the clients and the members.

When any online business or company is made to favour only the business owners without giving many regards to the clients or members then we say it’s a scam

and when an online business portrays itself to favour just the clients without favouring the business owners or company then we also suspect it’s a scam because no one will spend and invest in a business that doesn’t pay or make monetary returns

Furthermore, I also say “Any online business promising more than they can afford is likely to be a scam

Nevertheless, Even if an online business or company is Paying, However, it doesn’t subject itself free from scam

If a business tends to enrich the company while subjecting the members to too much stress and getting peanuts in return, brother that one too na scam

because no client or member will love to invest in a business that will take too much of his time or we have him work all day and night and get peanuts in return

MMM broke the hearts of most students and workers who invested their school fees, salary and house rent just to make get rich quick money.

A Business Will Also Be Scam If

• It seems too good to be true – for example, a holiday that’s much cheaper than you’d expect 

• When someone you don’t know contacts you unexpectedly

• If you suspect you’re not dealing with a real company – for example, if there’s no postal address

• Mostly When you’ve been asked to transfer money quickly

• When You’ve been asked to pay in an unusual way – for example, by iTunes vouchers or through a transfer service like MoneyGram or Western Union

• If you’ve been asked to give away personal information like passwords or PINs

• You haven’t had written confirmation of what’s been agreed

How To Check If An Online Business is Scam

I know many may be asking how do I check out a company with CAC, Just follow my ultimate hack below

1. Double-Check The Domain Name

A lot of fraudulent websites will use a domain name that references a well-known brand or product name. But won’t be the official website. 

You should also be cautious of domains that end with .net or .org, as they are rarely used for online shopping so may have been acquired by questionable organizations.

For Example a fake website domain could be FacebookNigeria.com while the original facebook Website is Facebook.com

2. Checkout The Pages Of The Website

Take a couple of minutes to double-check the site. Maybe visit the homepage or the About Us Pages and read the text there and see what they say about the business and its mission

You should also watch out for poor English, such as spelling and grammar mistakes, or phrases that don’t sound quite right.

It could mean the site isn’t genuine and was put together by someone looking to make a quick profit.

You should also check that the website Contact Us Page

Reputable and legitimate companies will always list ways to get in touch with them; if the website doesn’t have a Contact Us Page, it could well be fraudulent.

If the site does have Contact Us page but only offers a form to fill out, be wary as this could also be an indication of a dubious website.

Any company offering goods or services should list a place of business, as well as a phone number or email address through which to contact them.

If any of the above pages such as Privacy Policy, Contact Us, Disclaimer, About Us are not found then you should treat the website as highly suspicious and a fraud business

3. The Appearance Of The Website

Come to think of it when you go to a shopping mall to buy electronics the one which is clean and looks new will attract more attention than the one which looks old and almost faulty

The same thing implies when it comes to identifying fraud business, you should check the design of the site very well before thinking of investing your time and money into it a website with poor theme/design

and has no much pages has nothing meaningful to offer, such a website is trivial and will result to fraud business

Imagine a website claiming to have paid millions to its members yet can maintain a good design, my dear when you come across such run for your dear life

4. Check The Returns Policy

If the company is selling a product online, it should have a shipping and returns policy listed on its website. If it’s a real company, it should tell you how and where to return a faulty item.

The website should also have terms and conditions, and a privacy policy that tells you exactly what it plans to do with any data you share and any extra-contractual rights you may have.

Does it offer realistic product descriptions and prices? Let your common sense and intuition be your guide. An offer that is “too good to be true” probably isn’t true, and should be approached sceptically

Check the Internet Archive to see how long the company has had an online presence. A website that is only a few weeks or a few months old may not be as reliable as one that has been in business for several years.

5. Checkout Reviews And Comments About The Website/Business

You should carry out Action research, stud and get reviews about the business or platform and know what people have said concerning the platform or business.

Thank God you stormed this site because here on legacytips.com i share info and make reviews about latest scam free businesses in Nigeria. You should also check the company’s social media pages for recent activity and to see what other people are posting on their social channels.

You can do a review check on blogs, Youtube and lots more

My Personal Encounter With Fake Websites

There was once this online business that makes got trending called Rackstelly, alot of people made way into it, tying to do get rich quick business. I had to go through the site and do some investigations

As I visited the site I had no option than to back my bag and baggage and run for my dear life as if my village people dey chase me for a dream

Here is the thing I found out, The important pages which I mentioned above are all missing th most annoying part of it is that the design of the site is nothing but just an eyesore (Very poor)

hence the business is not trustworthy despite i heared some people were able to successfully Withdraw from it

But hey one thing I was sure of is that the End is always Catastrophic

I have said this before and I am still saying again,

“Any business which tends to favour members without favouring the business owners are likely to be a scam because every business is set up with the sole aim of making a profit”

I was not surprised When Rackstely turned out to be a big scam

Its no doubt that most of these businesses are gotten online from social media, likely Facebook and WhatsApp.
