Well I suppose it can be quite frustrating for those who are seeking alternative methods of income online. But should scam or potential scams??? be considered as a opportunity in this era we live in. Well unless of course you don't mind or are willingly to be a victim of scam. Otherwise wouldn't it be best to simply avoid many offers that may appear to be too good to be true. Anyone else have experienced scams either online or else where. Tips of probably identify potential scams would be helpful.

Sometimes scam sites are not easily detectable, so as an online venturer we must do a great deal of homework to prevent immediate and or later being scammed. Thus far I have not been scammed but do not rule out that it will never happen. As sometimes even the most legitimate sites turn scams simply because the site owners are not able to meet their payouts. Best tip to offer is that if a site sounds too good to be true it most likely will be just that.

I think it is not that difficult to tell if a job is a scam or not. I have not experienced it before but I will definitely NOT pay for any job being offered to me. Obviously that is enough to show you that it is a scam.
