Tax Resolution Marketing: How Tax Scams “Sell” You | Linked Local …

I’ve always been fascinated with marketing. Even when I was a kid, I used to love getting those thick publishers sweepstakes envelopes in the mail. The postmark was made to look hand-stamped, some of the content was printed to look hand-written, and of course who could forget the famous tagline, “You may have already won $1,000,000!” Some people would actually believe it and think they had indeed won a million bucks!
Tax resolution firms make heavy use of direct mail. I’ve posted some of the letters I’ve received on “TaxSettlementScammers.com.” Perhaps you’ve already started receiving their letters, particularly if the IRS has filed a Federal lien against you. The envelope will be made to look official. You will be urged to “Respond Immediately! Important Information About Your Tax Debt!”
When you open the letter, in many cases it will be from a company with a generic name like “Tax Resolution Specialists” or “Tax Settlement Department.” They will get the amount of your tax debt from public records so it will look like the letter was written just for you. The letter may claim your IRS debt can be lowered to maybe a third or even a quarter of what you owe. When you’re faced with an IRS tax debt, you may want to rush to the phone and call right away for a deal that good!
The ads are very persuasive because tax resolution firms try to charge thousands of dollars. If their fee and the amount of savings they claim they can get for you are many thousands of dollars less than your total IRS debt, wouldn’t you be tempted to sign on the dotted line? That’s what tax resolution firms are counting on!
Remember these two important facts:
NO ONE can “estimate” what your tax savings might be without calculating your complete financial disclosure.
NO ONE can guarantee how the IRS will decide when they review your complete financial disclosure.
You can use my ebook, Lower Your IRS Debt, to calculate your own financial disclosure and submit an application to the IRS for review. I’ll take you step by step through the process I used successfully to lower my IRS debt from $42,564 to $1! Use my ebook to complete the IRS forms and you’ll have a good idea where you stand, without paying a tax resolution thousands of dollars

Low Cost Advertising and Scams on the Internet – Internet Marketing …
May 20th, 2012
A business without a sign is a sign of no business. This is an advertising banner or quotation that can be seen in large billboards along the roads and on the side or top of buildings that is vacant. Television and radio would say, This program would not be shown or be heard without advertisement. It is true since most of us are watching the free television channel and programs are produced by payments of advertisements.
Business owners understand how important an advertisement is. It is in this manner that they would tell to everybody that they are selling products and offering services. They would not have sales, which in turn give them profit, if people would not notice and buy their products and avail of their services.
However, it is not happy to note that there are people who would try to steal money from advertisers and business owners by offering cheap advertisement packages and not delivering the agreed service. Business owners and advertisers should be informed of this because they would become victims of a scam.
The scam here is when the advertiser paid for these different kinds of services but none or some of them are not really even performed. The main point to consider here is to whom is the advertiser transacting with. To avoid being ripped off doing a background check by knowing the following will help.
-past successful projects as evident on customers comments
-a good reputation that will be confirmed by his references, (people that he’s had past transaction with and that are also reputable)
The pay-per-click ad campaign is when an advertiser would pay a certain agreed amount by the search engine developers every time a user clicks on that banner. This was a good idea before it was not touched by hackers who developed a certain program to automatically click on that banner which increases the amount to be paid by the advertiser. The next paying scheme was the pay per action, which is harder to hack since the advertiser would only pay the search engine developers an agreed amount every time a sale would be done on that customer.
One thing is for sure, advertising in the Internet is not easy but it is fun, especially when one understands fully the power of the Internet. It is not a unidirectional means of advertising like the television or radio, but it is an interactive avenue for both the advertiser and the prospective clients.

Scamworld is Spreading » BethAnnErickson.com
May 17th, 2012The video/article I posted yesterday has been picked up by a few interesting media outlets.
The New Yorker listed the article in their “Weekend Reading” recommendation and calls it one of the “Best Magazine Stories of the Week.”
Boing Boing picked up the article calling it, and “Incredibly Detailed Look at Internet Marketing Scams.” A quote:
The Verge‘s Joseph L. Flatley delves into the world of Internet marketing scams (those stupid spam pitches you get for “lead generation” and such) in eye-watering detail. Fundamentally, these things are exactly what they appear to be: con artists who suck money out of desperate people by lying to them about the money they can make with “work from home” businesses.
Finally, Andrew Sullivan over at The Daily Beast calls the video a, “long but excellent video.”
Very cool. If you haven’t seen the article or vid, head over to The Verge.

The Reality Regarding Online Home Business Scams | Online …
May 17th, 2012
A lot of people get caught up in the idea of earning a lot of money with very little output. This is certainly something you find thanks to the online market place and the availability of many ways to generate money on it including home-business opportunities. A number of online home business scams can be spotted floating around targeting innocent stay at home moms and dads along with other Internet marketing wannabes.
There are a number of methods to prevent getting drawn into these promotions. The best thing to do would be to learn to avoid them so that you do not become a victim of them.
Many reputable jobs will require individuals to have even a small amount of expertise. Hoax web sites will advertise that they require a lot of manpower with no experience needed.
These are the websites you should not bother with. When you see an advertisement stating that you can make a few hundred dollars a week by working only a couple of hours daily, it becomes pretty sure that the job is not genuine.
There are a number of luring propositions expressed by phony websites. Making money fast and in very large amounts isn’t realistic whatsoever.
Even though you see those pictures of people holding checks worth thousands of dollars you’ll have to assume that they’re a fake company or at the very least you should be worried about them. You can’t believe in websites that appear too good to be true.
Nevertheless, that doesn’t mean that all jobs located on the internet are phony. There are a lot of great paying websites available. The key is to locate one you’re satisfied with.
Luckily there are a number of ways to ensure if a website is reputable or not.
1. The first thing you can do is to perform a bit of a background check. You can hop on your preferred search engine and type in the name of the business.
Look for a couple of reviews about them to determine what people have to say about them. You can even join an open forum and bring the topic up. Other users can give you comments to help you.
2. Individuals in the freelancing community are usually friendly and very helpful. They’re also business people and several have been in home based businesses at one time or another.If you want help, suggestions or advice, you can usually get some help from these folks.
3. Search for blogs about online home business scams. Many writers freely discuss their encounters, particularly during their difficult first years.
You can even find legitimate online jobs from these web sites. Learn about various ways on the way to confirm home businesses. If you have friends that freelance, you can ask them about how they found their first job.
4. Common online home business scams. Avoid things like certain typing at home opportunities, medical billing, email processing, and websites providing a list of companies needing workers if they ask for money up front.
It is much easier to steer clear of online home business scams if you spend time researching every opportunity before you invest any time or money on it.

The Worst Online Marketing Frauds Uncovered | Inteligencia …
May 13th, 2012
Reno, Nevada (PRWEB) May 04, 2012
Webrageous, pay per click management company, has decided to share important information about the worst online marketing frauds running wild in 2012.
The number of both novice and experienced advertisers who are being duped into spending their online advertising dollars on a range of marketing frauds and pay per click scams is rising every day.
The legitimate advertising experts at Webrageous fear for the reputation of trustworthy specialists in the industry and have made it their responsibility to share essential warnings about the actions of unscrupulous advertising companies and how not to fall victim to these pay per click scam artists.
Nobody should fall prey to online marketing fraud, said Webrageous Director of Marketing, David Chapman. Webrageous wants to ensure that advertisers are aware of the pay per click management scams that deceitful managers and unqualified companies like to run.
The following list highlights some of the worst online marketing scams that mercenary search engine optimization companies (SEO) or pay per click (PPC) firms use in order to draw in new and unsuspecting clients:
1. Installing Link Directories on a Website (SEO)
A search engine optimization firm that wants to install a link directory program on a website probably plans to put that site into a link exchange program.
Reciprocal links are not effective in SEO. If someone is engaging in extensive two-way linking, they risk being banned or penalized by the top search engines.
Dont let so-called online marketing experts do this with your website, Mr. Chapman said. Link exchanges no longer work.
2. Upfront Charges for Free Google Services (SEO)
Beware of companies that require upfront payment for services that Google actually offers for free. Webrageous can provide full information about Google services in order to prevent advertisers from being conned into signing up for something that shouldnt cost a cent.
Google publishes which features are free. Webrageous advises that advertisers check with Google before signing into any contract, because some unscrupulous SEO firms even charge for setting up a listing on Google Maps. A listing on Google Maps has never cost the advertiser anything and setup can be done in less than five minutes.
3. Priority Submission to Google (SEO)
Some search engine optimization scams focus on the idea that priority submissions can be made for specific websites. Webrageous can confirm that this is not true. Google never creates special relationships with anyone.
The only way that anyone can submit a site to Google is to do so through Googles Add URL Page Section or via the Google Sitemaps program.
Both can be done for free at any time. A website owner can also choose to simply wait until their site is naturally indexed by Google for free and without any special effort required from an online marketing management company. This natural, free listing, is often achieved within a matter of weeks. Nobody should have to pay for the privilege.
4. Permanent or Special Positions on Google (SEO/PPC)
Some search optimization companies like to falsely claim that Google has reserved special positions for their clients on the Google search engine results page, either for paid or natural results.
Webrageous knows that this is not true and it will never be true. Google never guarantees a website a position on the Google search engine results page for anyone.
5. Charging For Pay Per Click Management but Only Working on Natural Search (SEO/PPC)
This is perhaps one of the dirtiest tricks of them all. Some pay per click management companies charge their clients for pay per click advertising which isnt actually being provided.
Webrageous has discovered that some pay per click management scam artists charge their clients $ 2000 for paid search advertisements, but only use $ 1000 or less of that budget for pay per click. They then keep the rest of the money for themselves.
In order to cover up what they have been doing, the missing $ 1000 of advertising money is accounted for from organic search results. The scamming pay per click management company sends their client results gathered from paid search advertisements and organic ones all mixed together. Sometimes the scamming company takes things one step further and doesnt produce any reports for their clients at all.
As the traffic starts to come in, the scamming pay per click management company claims that ALL the traffic is the result of the pay per click management that they have been doing, when in reality the traffic has come from organic listings that the client should not have to pay for.
Webrageous advises all businesses to thoroughly research the SEO and pay per click management companies they want to work with before signing a contract. Advertisers should start with what the Better Business Bureau has to say about particular agencies and then they can continue their research from there.

Finding Legitimate Paid Online Surveys While Avoiding Scams …
May 13th, 2012
Many companies are interested in consumer’s opinions. Likewise, Internet users who would like to make a little extra money can engage in paid online surveys and express their opinions and views. One reason a lot of people don’t take these surveys is because of the scams present online. This is unfortunate since a lot of great survey companies exist on the Internet. This guide will help people learn to avoid scams and to find out about legitimate survey sites.
The Internet is riddled with scams of all sorts. However, almost all Internet scams are very easy to spot, so they should in no way deter the aspiring survey taker. Sites that say they will pay 100 dollars an hour are clearly not legitimate. Doing surveys online for money is a good hobby that will have small but rewarding benefits. The money made will never be enough for a job, but it is enough to fill an eager survey taker’s wallet with extra spending money.
Another way to spot a survey scam is if the site asks for money. Legitimate survey companies will never ask for money. The survey taker provides them a service, and they pay accordingly. Some scam sites promise long lists of survey opportunities for a fee, and others just need a one-time “membership fee.” The lists these scam sites produce are mostly unusable fluff, and real survey sites don’t ask for money to become a member.
Another important factor in avoiding scams and finding legitimate survey sites is what information the sites ask for. Scam sites may ask for information like social security numbers, credit card numbers, or debit card numbers. Survey sites do not need this information. They are clearly only asking for sensitive information like this to steal money or cause the survey taker problems. A lot of legitimate online survey sites pay by PayPal, and some have their own reward systems where points are given for surveys for prizes like magazine subscriptions.
Differing from scams, legitimate sites ask for information that is helpful in selecting the right surveys for the survey taker. This includes demographic information, hobbies, and other general information that will benefit them by potentially providing them with more survey taking opportunities. For instance, a person who doesn’t have a car would not benefit from a survey about owning a car, while a person who does own a car would be able to make money taking that same survey.
One final check that should be done to avoid scams is to search the survey website for its privacy policy. If the survey website does not have one, or if the privacy policy contradicts the claims it makes on other areas of the site, it is most definitely a scam. Reading the fine print should help cement a survey site’s legitimacy. Good survey sites have a proper privacy policy that backs up and reaffirms everything the site advertises.
Now that a few methods of determining the authenticity of survey sites have been discussed, anyone willing to make some extra cash to take surveys should have fun with it. Paid online surveys are an enjoyable way to give opinions on all sorts of things, and they shouldn’t be missed because of online scam fears.
