hello people i need some advise. I received a email yesterday "Discover How to get your own FREE internet Business today" the person promises to provide help on building my website and advertising etc. All i need to do is get myself resgirested and get a domain name. He also provided a number of website providers like BlueHost, HostMonster, etc i just pay them to get my domain name and website address, which i was anyway planning to do. NOT a dime to the person. Once i register i send the details to this person and he takes care of everything! My question is it safe to do it?...what is your opinion? i dont have to pay him anything...do you think its some kind of scam? or has anyone done this before?

I have been in Internet marketing for about 5 years now and I CAN ASSURE you that no one is going to set you up in a good legimit business for free. I know the E -mails they send sound so convinsing but in the end for you to set up a business it will cost you money. To me setting up a business with someone you recived an e-mail from is like buying something in the dark,Good interbet businesses do not conduct themselves in this fashion.

I would be very suspicious indeed and suggest you delete the email and ignore it. Most of these emails are scams and I would be very wary indeed.
