How to Really Expose a Scam before YOU Waste Your Money!
The are many ways to see a company for what it is. I will address some of the easiest ways.
1) way is to check with the better business bureau (bbb.org).
2) Another is to perform an asset search and see if the company has real financial backing or just cardboard behind the front door. Generally, the larger the companies provable assets the more comfortable you should feel in working with the company. In particular, if they are NYSE listed, then they are subject to much more rigorous government scrutiny.
3) Age of company- In contrast to publicly traded companies, the closest companies without real assets are often never subject to any scrutiny because they are in and out of business before too long (typically a few years).
4) Whois search will often give you a clue as to how credible a company might be. For example: take a company like stiforp.com If they are not hiding their contact info you can take their address and use Google maps to see how legitimate or big their physical address might be. I could find no record of any assets for this company. Certainly doesn't look like a big or credible company to me.
5) Don't buy into any company that promotes pre-launch hype & or no effort needed (this is equivalent of the company holding a large sign that says scam).
6) Any company that promises $1,000's with in days or no effort required, just turn and run.
7) Finally, never trust online reviews, they are almost always written by members of the company you are trying to find out about (with exceptions like consumer reports).
You may think, it's only X to join or .... but trust me doing your homework upfront will save you a ton of heartache after the fact.
Wishing you Success

Something else to note. Virtually all of these so called matrix cycle(r) things are illegal. They typically get started with some cheap software (in someones spare room) & run until an attorney general gets wind of it & then they take what they've made and split. Network marketing companies are legal as they offer real products and don't have some wacky matrix cycle nonsense.

Thought you would like to know the company (which is A+ BBB rated & NYSE listed) just added a guarantee that anyone who joins the company will make a $1,000 within 6 months or they will pay the difference. Can you say WOW?

Good article, Ray but your tags are a little long! Simplify your tags so we can like the article. (Remember tags are really keywords. Google won't pick up the tags on this article)

Thanks Chuks!
One final note. If you can't verify the company or a bunch of the above mentioned holds true then chances are you've been scammed. Time is the only thing more valuable than money, so cut your losses and find a legitimate opportunity.
