Avoid Home Business Match like the plague
As I was sitting in front of the TV this evening, I saw a commercial for homebusinessmatch.com that looked extremely similar to the Crazy Fox commercials that were on TV up until just a couple of months ago.
I always knew that Crazy Fox was a scam just because the people were bragging how they were making 1,000's a month from home only working part time. I don't care what business you are running, if you want to make 1,000's from home you have to be ready to work.
I'm going to say that homebusinessmatch.com is the same company that ran crazyfox.com, but they had to move domains because people either caught on to them or they ran out of easy to remember numbers to put in front of their domain name. Either way, I would recommend staying as far away from this website as you can.

How do I know Homebusinessmatch.com is a scam?
Do I know from personal experience by signing up with one of these websites that homebusinessmatch.com is a scam? I don't. Only a crazy (maybe someone crazy like a fox?) person would give this company their credit card number. In fact, to get further into the whole spiel, you have to give them your email address; I gave them an email address that I check but once a year just out of fear of all the spam I would get from them. They had a field for a phone number but it wasn't starred, I was curious, not crazy.
I'm sure the email address that I used to go further into their sales pitch will be sold to several MLM companies that will try to sell me on their opportunity, I wish I could say don't bother, but that would get me even more email.
Am I pretty jaded, you bet. I was a member of Equinox International back in their hayday right before the crash of the whole pyramid and the prosecution of Bill Gouldd. I was only a manager with their company for a couple of months before I saw that if I was going to make any money with them I'd have to be selling out all of my friends and relatives to the sharks who will then get them to stock up their houses with overpriced products they won't be able to sell. I only lost a couple thousand dollars with them, but there were people out hundreds of thousands of dollars because of their involvement with Equinox.
Even if I had made money the whole thing was always weird to me, traveling to "trainings" which were more like pep rally's with a sprinkle of information here and there. You had to be at the "briefings" which were really the same recruiting session repeated over and over 2 times a week. Sometimes we would travel up to an hour during the evening to go see some "guru" that was killing it in a different office because he was really good at parting people with their money.
I do believe that MLM can work, but when you involve the greed of human nature, there are more than likely going to be people trying to separate you from you hard earned money.

You Can Make Money At Home

What I found when I went to homebusinessmatch.com
When I first went to homebusinessmatch.com, I was redirected to a domain called theonlinebusiness.com. On this page, was where I was asked to enter my first and last names, email address, and phone number. Only the email address was required thank goodness, the last thing I need is these people calling me and trying to sell me on the latest and greatest business opportunity. As I said earlier, I gave them an email address that I don't check very often, I may check it in a day or two in order to see what kind of goodies I was sent.
After entering my info, I was taken to a sales letter page that is pretty standard; one thing I thought as strange was I was on theonlinebusines.com, but the sticky note on the right side of the page was mentioning a site called incomeathome.com. The sales letter talked about a person now making $15,000 a month and then there was a picture of a check. I think the check had some PHP programming or something to show the real name of the person listed in the fine print at the bottom of the first page. This was followed by a bunch of testimonials and another pitch for me to give them my credit card number.

Why do I think crazyfox.com and homebusinessmatch.com are related?
As my curiosity got to me with the first website, I thought I'd go and check out crazyfox.com just to see if it still existed; just as I thought, the site was down for maintenance. They had to stop running the adds for this site because the easy to remember numbers were all used up. Trying to run an ad with a domain like 58694crazyfox.com wouldn't work because people would never remember it.
The reason these sites run a number at the beginning or end of their domain name is two-fold.
1. They want to know which TV and radio ads are converting to know the best times to run their commercials.
2. Each domain is owned by a separate person belonging to the MLM that paid to have their ad run on TV. If you sign up on that page then you will be placed in that person's downline.

- In this world almost everything can be considered a scam. The truth is, if you are looking for a way to just have money wired to your bank account without doing work you will be chasing your tail forever.
I urge everyone to do their homework before buying anything that promises you will make money.
Thank you for visiting.
