Please adjust your screen so you can view this entire posting.

Hello, my name is Kim a member of Opportunity Judging Group
and on-line we search the Classified Business Opportunity section
to find out which Home Business Opportunities are scheme and
which ones you can actual use the information that's being sold to
help create wealth.   

********************
SCHEMES
********************

1.  We tested the Scheme called, "Beat the 32cent Stamp and make
more money".  We paid for their info sheet telling us how to do it. 
We spoke to the Post Office and the Post Office notify us that this
scam has been going around for years now and it's illegal to do.

2.  We tested the Scheme called, "Earn $500 a day with Mailing
lists."  What they want you to do is pay everyone on the list $5.00
and then add your name on the bottom of the list.  They claim it's
legal because you are creating a mailing list.  We spoke to the Post
Office and they said it's a Chain Letter that is against the law to do.

3.  We tested the Scheme called, "Play Lotto & Earn Monthly" 
What they want you to do is pay them $17.50 up front and then
$22.00 every month and you get to make money by getting others
into paying you "Play Lotto & Earn Monthly" startup fees.  We feel
that this is a Scheme and there is no lotto money you can obtain / 
win.

********************
High Rated Opportunities
********************

1.  We obtain from MicroSmarts  their HUD Step by Step Guide 
for $24.95.  We thought it was an excellent deal for what they
offered and they also backed it up with a 30Day Money back
warranty.  We receive the package from them on the 6-19-95 and it
was put together very nicely. The earning in this opportunity
depends on the how many individuals you can help locate / process
claims for the Government.  This program is great because you can
receive up to $600.00 per MIP refund you help obtain.  Using their
program their average customers can locate 3-4 individuals a week
which comes to about $1800.00. We rated MCW Step by Step
Guide with a four Stars rating out of five stars because they even
included an 800# Help line with their HUD Step by Step Guide. 
Also they are one of the very few companies with a complete
Online Home Business Forum on the Internet at: 
http://www.world-wide.com/Homebiz/    or
http://www.pic.net/microsmarts/homebiz.htm

For more information about this opportunity please go to their
Internet Home Business Web Site.  They also posts their ads on
Prodigy, CompuServe and American Online.

2.  We tried out " Increase sales by 200% with Checks over the
Phone", and for mail order accepting checks over the phone would
make accepting payment from a customer quicker and more
convenient.  We feel this opportunity will improve sales and we
give it a 3Star rating out of 5stars.

 Twice a week we will post our factual information about
opportunities on-line, what's a scheme and what's a potential
opportunity.  We will also be rating CompuServe & Prodigy
classified boards where members can have true fact data on Home
Business Opportunities  verses hypothesis opinion on Opportunities
that may have not been tested out to see if it was true or false.
