Web Fortune Master is a work from home training program from spokeswoman Angela Bussio promoting a link posting opportunity, a type of affiliate marketing which has been around since online marketing began.
In fact, link posting is one of the most popular online business opportunities, both for legitimate earning at home and for scammers who are hoping to take advantage of people, as described in this ABC News article.
Angela Bussio herself has promoted multiple link posting opportunities, each almost exactly the same as the last, generally with just a simple name change:
Legit or Scam: How to Tell
Since link posting and affiliate marketing are legitimate opportunities that are being exploited by scammers, it’s not fair to simply blacklist each and every website or company that recommends working in this industry.
Instead you have to evaluate the information you’re being given, how it is being given to you, and how the company is being run to decide whether or not the opportunity is one worth taking. Before you ever input your credit card number, you should always review the official refund policy in the Terms & Conditions.
This is also a good time to determine whether the company itself is based in the US or an overseas country like Cyprus. Companies based overseas on small islands make it almost impossible to take legal action in cases of identity theft or fraudulent charges.
For more guidance, the Federal Trade Commission has a good list of questions you should try and answer when evaluating such companies.
Web Fortune Master: The Bottom Line
Unfortunately, this program has many of the same problems common to unethical link posting programs. It makes earnings claims that it doesn’t back up and it uses tactics to make you think there are only a few openings left so you feel an urgency to buy.
Another way to protect yourself is by doing free research online through trusted sources regarding link posting and what is entailed in the business. Knowing the reality of the business opportunity will help you spot people who are giving you misleading or deceitful information.
But with a program like Web Fortune Master, perhaps the best way to evaluate it is to look at the reviews of the previous programs issued by Angela Bussio. Unlike brand new programs, her programs have an established history and vocal customers that you can learn from.
