The most outstanding characteristics of an online scam sites is that they will usually promise very attractive rewards or income generation within a short period of time. These sites will claim that they are able to help you generate like thousands of dollars within a week or so. It is usually these unrealistic numbers that attracts many people to fall prey to online scammers. It is not impossible to earn the five-figure income which most of those unrealistic online businesses claim to be, but usually it will take hard work and also at least a couple of years before those type of income can be achieved.
Besides any "get rich quick schemes" are all mostly all scams.

As much as possible I would like to share it all here, but it's like too much to be written. It's best to visit the website. it's all written there.
And, since you talked about those that promise small money but yet they are scams, you can actually go to www.domaintools.com and search for that url in there and you will be able to find the details and the background of the owner of that particular website / url. From there, you will be able to more or less guess if they are genuine or a scam. If you see that they have registered the domain like more than 5 years and stuffs like that, then it should be more genuine. Those you see that the domain registration is just about a couple of months, then you must be careful about it.

Of course, scammed people will report back you about the sites cheated them. So ask with the people, they will guide you and help you.But mind people looking for their personal gain. To get referrals, some people will encourage you to join in scam sites. Happy mylotting.

Yes, most people who don't know about a site being a scam, and since he / she a member of the site, usually just encourage other to simply join under them. This happened a lot, some people even make a fake payment proof simply for make other join under them. Thanks.

i think the easiest way to avoid scam just too avoid anything that promise you something too great, something is too good to be true and your logic against it..
back then i was convinced if i know the site information (domain/host) company that would be suffice enough, but then i think it is not reliable since there are lot of domain and host company out there and they have no correlation with the owner of the site. And again, it is very easy to alter your identity when using the service of domain/host company. With just using not so complicated multiple bouncer the scammer can be rebirth to someone new the next few second after they drain their victims, ready to find another victim.
I guess the only left to detect scam is by doing social engineering, made lot of TRUSTED friend that will alert you when you stumble upon those scammer.

Well yes, too good to be true site is some thing that are really obvious. It can be notice in a few seconds although it is very obvious but some people actually still can be a victim of the scam. But the hard part is to detect the scam site that offer similliar thing to those legit site. Well i think if that the case then being active in a forum will help us a lot about this. Thanks.

Yes, you are very right. That is actually what i do before i join site. But this kind of thing doesn't work for new site, and since there are many crafty people in the internet, they seem like to making fake payment proof to make other join the site under them. Also usually a scam site pay first for a few month before it turn out to be a scam, this is the hard part. Thanks.

Well it is easy if the site is actually already in business for quite some time, but what about the new site? Most people don't know about the site. Do you know any indication, or clue, that some site actually a scam. Anyway, thanks for responding my discussion.
