Is it safe to give your credit card details to make an online payment for a 'work at home' business,US.?
Question:
Answer:
You should never have to pay for any WAH business - if you want to work at home, do it legitimately and go to http://www.wahm.com They have listing where you can get real jobs on their message boards and no money is required.
I wouldn't. Most work at home businesses are a scam. The only precaution I would take is to not give it out at all!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, NEVER give your CC numbers to a site that requests payment for you to make money, EVER! REAL jobs would never ask you to pay money to make money.
No?
Definetly not, never give your credit card info
All these work at home sites are scams
Think about it , why do they need money if your going to work for them?
There will be 100% chances of misusing your credit card particulars
NO it is not safe. Many "work-at-home" businesses are actually scams, with the purpose of gathering that very information so they can take all your money. If you want to research a company, go online and google it, and see if they 1) have a website, which slightly increases the likelihood that they're legit, but 2) more importantly, make sure they are backed by the Better Business Bureau. You should see somewhere on their website a little seal that says BBB...or you can go to http://www.bbbonline.org Please do not give out your credit card info over the phone to anyone unless you are 100% certain that they are legitimate. You'll be sorry otherwise.
You're asking for trouble here. One way to find out is to start a checking account and get the card. Drain it down to the minimum and then give it to them. See if they take the bait.Even that is costly and risky. The general rule of thumb is if you've never heard of them, or it's an unsolicited offer, then it's a scam.
having a website in no way increases the chances that they are legit, my 12 year old daughter could have a website if she wanted, would you give her your credit card number?
I wouldn't recommend doing that because there's a scammer at the other end of the line ready to take advantage of your credit card number.
There are few work at home plans. If you take a great company like PrePaid Legal Incorporated and work with them, that's one thing different for network marketing. However, you take a look at most work at home programs, it's a risk. Before you do that consider the fastest growing crime in America is ID Theft. Be careful and Good Luck
