Genuine Business in Apsense But......
I think Apsense is a big help where this site really allows you to promote your business. But how do we know that all ads and people talking are genuine. Any email you pick up, people talk about making us millionaire or draw traffice to you web site etc... now some of this might be reasonable but there is no way to really find out what is true and what is not..If we need to make this a place of promoting healthy business and not scams then everyone needs to really work hard..may be apsense should have some point system which validates the business or service existence and rate them accordingly...what do you think???

Ahmed,
Not knowing the citation of the report you mention, I would say initially it sounds like another chicken little. Also, not sure I understand the dates you mention. You state this "cycle" dates back to 1950. First off, 50 some years is hardly enough time to base a financial cycle on with the economy changing as fast as it does and to the degree it has become an international economy over the last two decades. If we do use 1950 as a point on this economic cycle, and go back 60 years,

Hi Digg3000,
In my opinion the only way APSense could protect us from scams, which appear daily on the internet like mushrooms in the early morning, would be if some one has undisputable proof that a program is a scam and then turned over the evidence to APSence for assessment.
One of the biggest problems on the internet is that there is always some that will scream scam no matter what the program is simply because they do not want to see a program succeed. There are those that do it beca

Hi guys,
thanks for your input.
have anyone of you heard the great economic depression that is coming in 2010?
economic recessions come by every 12yrs, while depressions every 60 yrs+/-. from 1950 onwards, add 12 yrs and then 60 yrs, you get a major world event that had transformed the world we live in today. When economic recessions are around the corner, scams increase and so on. I came across this interesting article few days ago.
Mr Doug, with your experience, how true this is?

I have been reading these posts, and kept shaking my head. Something was missing in all these comments, all good, and all different. Then it dawned on me what was missing, and I kicked myself for not thinking about it earlier.
AS a financial consultant/advisor for years, the first question I always asked a client was, What is your goal, what are you trying to accompolish.
That same question holds true here.

I've only been here one day and the first thing I saw was an ad on the frint page that I know is a scam. Well, maybe not a scam but definitely streeeeeeeeetching the truth! My thought was, wow I just logged in for the first time and this is the first thing I have to see? You you see something like that you want to scream to the world: DON't BELIEVE IT, DON'T BUY IT! I was hoping it might be a little different in here.

What works for me is to do my own research about any new business. First of all, if it sounds too good to be true, I don't bother. I just delete the message. Second, if I am interested enough to look further, I copy ant paste the whole link into my Google search box, add :scam at the end, and run a search. Believe me, if anyone anywhere has posted anything about a program, this will catch it. I will always carry this one step further if I get a lot of hits to this search criteria. I will po

These are all really good comments. I have been around this sort of thing for many many years and I have seen hundreds of opportunities come and go. Along with many hopes and dreams.
One of the best things you can do is to follow the money. Find where the business in incorporated. Find out who and what the owners have done in the past.
What about the product, is it real and genuine or is it something you can buy at the local market for about the same money?
If it is a heatlh product the

You can find out alot of information on a business simply by doing a search on them. You can usually find out alot about a company through posts of people who have dealt with them first hand, there is usually buzz about companies going on at marketing forums. You also can check for complaints throught the Better Business Bureau. But, when a company is new, it can be hard to spot a scam, sometimes someone might catch that is is owned by people who have run scams before. But, with alot of new prog

If it is hard to get information on a company or business, then move on. Legitimate companies are open about giving information. In my business, I invite interested people to my team trainings and meetings and let them meet real people in a conference room and get real time answers to their questions. If you are looking at a business ask the person if you can come to a meeting and meet the team. Ask questions. If they are hiding behind a mask, you got the information you needed.

Another idea that comes to me is Why are we here in this group? To meet people and get to know them. This is a relationship business! If you get to know people, and really know them one of them will pop out of the croud as being honest and dependable. What business are they doing? Ask questions and get to know the person and then get to know the business. It just might save you a few dollars in the end.

Unfortunately, there is no way of telling if an offer is genuine or the person offering it is legit, without spending a lot of time doing due diligence. Now, as far as what "due diligence" is and how much is necessary, well that is entirely up to the individual. There is no definitive way to say you have done adequate due diligence.
AS far as Apsense doing the rating for us, well, let's just say that I appreciate the low cost of Apsense for what it does provide already. Not sure I would want

But that is always the hard part when you live in a world where everything looks too good to be true and they hide behind masks.

Bottom line is that you have to do your due diligence. You can't expect APSense or anyone else to do it for you. Check out the group How to Choose an Opportunity for great ideas on this topic.

Yes, I think it is a good idea, except who is Apsence going to speek with or coordinate with to find out the ACTUALS about each company? That is, without spending the money to find out for themselves. Amy
