Business Opportunity/Employment Fraud Reporting
Programs that provide a hotline, website or other mechanisms for people to report fraud involving bogus business opportunities including work-at-home businesses like stuffing envelopes, franchise purchases, Internet start-ups, multi-level marketing plans that turn out to be pyramid schemes, unhelpful investment and business opportunity seminars, payment for the promise of a government or mystery shopper job and other offers that make big claims about what one can earn.
