Also most of the earn from home advertisements which appear in the newspapers, even those which claim to be a list of the best programs never give their own address for verification. It should be illegal to publish such ad's which are not tracable.
They only ask you to give your address and order some junk CD or book, which is sent by post COD, meaning cash on delivery. Sometimes also called VPP (Value Payable Parcel). You have to pay the postman before you open the packet.
As soon as you open the packet. You curse yourself for being such a bakra. You have been conned. The postal department does not take the parcel back. And the person is untracable except with the co-operation of a Police action.
The best way to stop such fraudsters is to order such packages and not accept the parcel when it arrives. The postal department is compelled to take it back to the sender and collect their parcel fees from the culprit. If many such parcels return and the fraudsters pockets empty. These kinds of illegal bussinesses may gradually stop.
