If something sounds too good to be true, what would be the first thing you need to do?

What sounds to good to be true, is determined by you. So therefore, we must do our best to investigate before going into a business venture. Some sound too good and is good. We must be watchful..and then sometimes we make wrong decisions. But we learn and move on.

RUUUNNNNNN AWAY FROM IT!!

This always happen.I just don't put my hopes up too much if something is too good to be true,but I try to make it into reality.

Pleasure is mine Trev, look forward to your article

When it comes to online marketing the 'Due Dilligance' factor is essential and you are so right... for it is exactly what I reccomend to all before even joining myself and my promotion... Thanks for your reply. And I hope many view this thread.

Marvelous, thanks. I look forward to reading it Trev, Love to see some of your conclusions. At age 73, as for me abandoned, abuse in many ways, an 8th grade dropout and a top 5% success story in many ways - I wouldn't be on a scam avoidance online while doing business campaign, - If I had used the "common sense" (due diligence) approach online, that I taught so many others to use offline

Thanks Trev for your comments, have to think about that "common sense, a person isn't born with it!"

Liked and shared....

You must seek for a second opinion if it's proven or not.. Sometimes hearing some good stuff we think that it's good but there's a bad side about it though.
