How Chain letters are proposed as legitimate business deal?

You will be asked to follow simple instructions.

First you have to order few reports (say 5) as shown in the given list and for each of the reports you will be asked to send few dollars (say $5) to the listed person directly. You will be asked to follow the sequence. It will also take details on your e-mail address and residence address to boost up your confidence.

Only after receipt of the money you will be registered with the chain letter scheme. To increase the interest, they will pour more honey like you will be asked to save the reports on your computer so that you can send to as many numbers of people you can and create the link for yourself. They will also provide statistical information like if at least 2% of mail receivers respond to your mails, you will get 1000s and 1000s of dollars and you will become a multi millionaire within a short span of time.

In reality, it is not true and you will not be paid at all. Moreover, you will loose the money, which you had already sent.

How to protect yourself from chain letters scams?

Scammers are people who give false promises that they will make you rich within a short period.

Scammers look for either your money or your personal information. So you have to be very careful in selecting the right job with the right company who has good track records with payment proofs. Also you need to take some third party consultation with Better Business Bureau (BBB) or Small Business Administration (SBA) before joining any online jobs.

You have to collect information on the company through various message forums in order to find out its legitimacy. Do not pay any money in advance or purchase their kit without knowing the company's profile. If the company is legitimate, it will pay you for the work you do and not vice versa.

Also do not let any personal information like bank details, residence address unless otherwise the company is 100% legitimate.

Please remember, if someone says, you can become a millionaire or billionaire just spending few dollars and sending e-mails, it is nothing but a trap set to steal your money.

Please do not believe these scam chain letters and fall in to the pit yourself. These chain letter authors are perfect frauds and trying to earn money as much as possible for themselves. There are so many legitimate online job providers in the internet who never demand money or your financial particulars. You can pick up the right one for earning a reasonable income. No bureau is certifying these chain letters as a business at all.

Only right amount of knowledge, systematic investment and adequate effort will make anyone to earn money successfully.
