What Online Businesses Are Legit and How Do I Know?
Recently I received a call from a company wanting me to join their coaching program for a hefty fee.
Well, needless to say, I did not have that kind of money.
So I asked a relative if I could borrow a little to cover the difference.
When talking to my relative, he brought up a good point and one that I think everyone should follow when dealing with online companies.
Is it a legit company and what does the Better Business Bureau think about this company? So, I went online and checked them out.
They were rated an "F".
I am so glad that I did, otherwise I could be dealing with a company who is dishonest and would end up kissing that money goodbye.
You need to do your homework before accepting an offer from an online business, or for that matter, any other business.
Otherwise you could lose out, and it may not be a small sum either.
Anyway, when the company called me back to see if I could get the funds, I asked them about their rating.
He then proceeded to tell me it was because there were people signing up for the program and not going through with the coaching and they wanted all their money back, and all they would refund is 50%.
He told me that it was the only reason they were rated so low and he stated that even Disneyland has a low rating.
Well, me being the skeptic I am, I looked up Disneyland and they were rated very well.
So, to end that story, "Look before you Leap".
I am not saying there are a lot of bad companies out there, but buyer beware.
I have found several other companies who are backed up by legitimate internet entrepreneurs and they are not listed as a bad company to deal with.
So, don't get discouraged, you will find the right company for you.
Just keep looking, they are out there.
