It is so hard to find a home business that actually has a real product. Unfortunately, I have spent lots of bucks on other junk (on-line casino and web visitors).
Horizon Technologies, apparently has refunded unhappy clients with reports here. Also, I have two of their GPS's and they work great (just like they said). For me, they have done just what they said.
I say don't buy into anything unless you are willing to work at it. Does anybody really believe that money is just going to show up in your mail box? Don't buy from Horizon or anyone if they won't send you exactly what they want you to do and will and won't do for you. If you wouldn't buy the product, don't buy their "business".

I've watched people do this time and time again. They get cheated on one deal, and then turn right around and buy into a totally different scam all over again.
You don't have to be stupid to do that. It's just that there are so many phony scams running right now. Basically, the world is filled with scams. Hell, everywhere you look there is somebody running some kind of a phony deal.
And then, looking for a business opportunity is like trolling for sharks by dragging a side of meat behind your boat. There are simply more business scams running than you can shake a stick at. Some are simple and easy to spot. But, the worst ones are fairly intricate. They offer the kind of pitch that might even attract and convince a seasoned investor.
So, here's a tip-off you can use to spot the more obvious ones. More people fall for this type than the other types.
The typical beginner is looking for something simple. So, that's what the fraud offers. An easy business where they do all the work of setting it up. You just have to read simple directions and run the day to day aspects of the business once the money starts coming in.
I know right away that anyone who tells me something like that is running a scam.
Think about it. Who in their right mind would hand over a profitable business to a stranger? Who would do all the work of setting up a great business, and then simply turn it over to you for a small fraction of what it's worth?
Nobody, that's who.
If a company actually had a great business, they would keep it all to themselves and run it all by themselves.
Since they are trying to sell it to you, it clearly can't be worth much.
Usually in these cons, the earnings are vastly inflated. They set you up with a web site or send you a box full of junk that ends up making way less than what you spent to get it in the first place.
There's only two ways I know to end up with a real business that will make money. The best and most inexpensive way is to build it from scratch all by yourself.
The other way is to buy into a known franchise opportunity. But, you have to be d**n careful with those. Again, many of the companies inflate the earning tremendously just to sell you a franchise package.
Here's what I would do. I'd go down to the local library and get books on building a business. When in doubt, read the instructions.
Then, I'd try to build something of my own. Start with a service business that targets your local community.
I'd stay the hell away from the internet. More people fall for the internet e-commerce nonsense. Most of them end up selling tons of junk, but at such a low price that they can't make a reasonable return on their time and trouble. The beginners don't know this, so they jump in and find out the hard way.
Do this. Before you buy, check here and see if the company or the TYPE of business is listed. Read long and think hard before you put out your next dime.
Next time, it might be gone for good. You were d**n lucky here.
Oh, and remember, anyone offering a big-income, no-work, guaranteed, no-fail business opportunity is always running a scam.
Best of luck to you!

I was suprised at how fast Horizone settled with me. I guess a little persuasion from the right people goes a long way. I want to thank you for your suggestions they helped a lot. I will recommend your site to anyone who ever gets themselves into a predictament similar to mine. Thank You again.
