How could I know if a website is scam? I've been scammed many times.... I've been scammed several time in different websites, how could I know if a website scam or not? Do I have to invest or go through the website to know that by myself? Can anybody tell if they say the true? I read all the privacy and the terms, what should I do next?

I guess you are talking about HYIP programs, just tell me how many forums have you joined in ? If not many i will advice you to join many forums at one time and there you will not find about HYIP programs that which one is scam and which one is fair but also get paid for your experiences you contrubute being scammed by some sites and in which to invest or not, as there are already many members in those forums who have invested and tested the programs and one can rely on their experiences, it isnt that you wont be scammed again, you might be but the probability will be less of getting scammed as you'll have the back ground information about the program and can find out by looking at the proofs people show in forums about the payment they got from some HYIP programs. To what i have experienced in these HYIP programs, dont invest more than $1.00 or maybe $2.00 but never exceed that, better invest 10 different programs with $1.00 than investing in one program with $10.00 as this will reduce chance of loosing everything in one go,secondly if you are tackling new HYIP programs, rather just invest once in the starting and cashout with them and say them bye, as its general that the scammers pay in their first cycle of operation and when people expect too much from them and invest more to get more they just run away with the free money of yours. So if you want to have more experience with HYIP programs and strategies , how to invest , whats the good time to invest, i'll strongly advice you to join more and more forums, and if you dont know any just add me and pm me and i'll send you the list of forums, you can register with and not only gain information but actaully make money out of them aswell. For the time being best of luck with whatever you do and happy earnings!

Many HYIPs have minimum deposit set much higher than $1.00 I think one should trust more those who offer low deposits.

There are a lot of scammers out there and they spread like locusts. They promise wealth for doing nothing. They say you will earn thousands in just a day of work. Most of the scammed sites are the money making sites. There are sites that ask you for payment for your work. This is an obvious scam, why would you pay for the job that you are going to do? Be real. Don't let be fooled by quick rich scheme. They are too good to be true. Search first for the sign that you are aiming in joining. Read feedbacks.

It's very hard to know which sites are going to stay around as they can up and disappear just like that. Sites that I am currently trying are adbux, fummo, diamond-shares and pathway-2-prosperity. So far these sites seem good and I hope that they will be around for the longterm..:)

you cant' tell whether a site is a scam or not.. it's your experience that will tell you.. giving you the intuition needed to know whether a websiteis a scam or not.. don't you think so? after joining some moneymaking websites.. and forums.. i do learn many.. and i felt that i have already know 50 - 60% of the game.. i know how they actually play the game.. and i know which one would last longer.. not to brag here.. but what i'm asking from you is.. go and do some research.. and you'll get what you want.. do not listen to others.. believe yourself.. remember.. you find money for yourself.. others won't do it for you.. there's no free lunch .. remember :)

There is no formula how can you tell the website is a scam; you should examine their offer, see if that's realistic, talk to other members on forums... Don't rush! If it's stable program, it will still be there when you decide to join later. Talking about stable programs: http://www.rtaonlineinvestment.com

First thing is to never pay money to make money. I usually just join sites that I know are legitimate by people i know providing payment proofs. My website is full of these sites with my own payment proofs so that i know they are not scams. I am also working on making a scam list so I will add these sites you providing to it; thanks for sharing. here is the link by the way. http://www.freewebs.com/moneytrooper

Scapula, If it sounds to good to be true, then it's probably a scam, avoid ones that have alot of hype and promises, usually the ones that are full of hype and promises are also scams. I have been scammed many times myself. I have found 6 programs that I feel are going to be very good, and I didn't pay a red cent to get into any of them. I will list them below that way if you or anyone else would like more information about any of the ones I have you can either send me a message, request to be a friend of mine and send me a private message, or send me an e-mail to fadedspade2006@yahoo.com. I am here and willing to help anyone out if I can. Projects that I am currently doing that are FREE to Join: 1. Vortex Marketing Group 2. Gano Brand Coffee 3. Entertainment 4 Life 4. A Dating Service through World Dating Partners 5. Cajun Country Gifts 6. My Power Mall If you or anyone that reads this and sees something on my list that you want to know more about please contact me doing any of what I mentioned in the above paragraph.
