Beware of Facebook Business Opportunity Groups

Beware of Facebook Business Opportunity Groups

I felt the need to write this post about why you should beware of Facebook business opportunity groups.  Over the passed few years, I have joined numerous ‘work at home’ and ‘business opportunities’ Facebook groups and I have yet to find anything legitimate.  What I have found is scam after scam.  People post their so called ‘legitimate’ opportunities but after researching their companies, all I find are articles and reviews warning people to steer clear.

I want to differentiate between the work at home or business opportunity groups and FB job sites.   The FB job sites post local jobs, so I am in no way complaining about them or do I feel they are not legitimate.  Like all opportunities, you still need to do your research.

I still visit some of the groups, but now I point out the scams.  Yes, it makes the poster mad, but hey if they are going to promote crap, then someone needs to step up and call them out on it.

Beware of Facebook Business Opportunity Groups Schemes and Scams

These Facebook group members promote endless schemes and scams; MLM schemes, Forced Matrix schemes, Project Payday, ZNZ, credit card schemes, MCA, and so many other schemes, it would take me all day and probably more to list.

I have determined that Facebook is not the place to look for legitimate opportunities as so many believe.  What happened to ethics?  Does it not exist anymore?  Is society so hell-bent on making a buck, it no longer cares about promoting schemes and scams?
I’m seeing more of postings requiring a PM or private message in order receive information for some the opportunities.  One of the reasons I was given was that posting a link is a violation of their company’s terms and conditions.  That could be true, but another reason could be that Facebook prohibits the link because it was reported previously as a suspected scam or unsafe website. 

So far the responses to my requests for information about an opportunity have been nothing more than MLM schemes or a scam. So, I am more prone to believe the latter reason is more realistic.

Affiliate Marketing and selling my own products seem to be the only legitimate opportunities out there.  But even with Affiliate Marketing, research is required because if you are promoting a product, you want to make sure that product is legitimate and authentic and the seller or company is reputable.

    looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that
    might be able to fix this issue. If you have any recommendations,
    please share. Thanks!

      You might consider changing your theme if you are using WordPress. That’s what I did. There are plugins, but try a different theme first. Use this site to check to see if your site is mobile friendly:

      Thank you. I visit numerous sites everyday and get tired of all of the ads and pop-ups that people have on their sites. I developed the site on my own and utilized several free tutorials to fine tune it. I appreciate your kind words and will continue to keep the user experience as a top priority by avoiding the clutter.

      Yes, I use WP and love it! You don’t need to know HTML, but it can be helpful. YouTube has some great free tutorials about building a WP site for beginners. Thanks for visiting my site and best of luck to you.
