You can't never know if is scam or not. But can always search the net for more info. I also don't aprove these responses like "see at my profile" or etc. The companies with good reputation for making money online are a few and well known..

Yeah, there are so few websites that have good reputation in this area. But more and more companies begin to join and we have to determine whether they are real paid or not.

Whenever a newbie asks questions like that, it becomes an opportunity for senior money makers to get a new referral that's why even if it's against the TOS they still do it. Some even just post their links straight into the discussion. Well, hopefully they don't refer others to such scam sites. It would be difficult to earn a trust of a newbie once they mistakenly sign up for sites that are not really legit. I commend you for bringing this discussion up. It would be a wakeup call for everyone to avoid just saying "go to my profile" or "here's my link".

Hi. Referring people to sites where they can earn extra income is not really bad especially if the site your referred them to is a legitimate one. It's a given that the person looking for extra income should always take caution and research on a particular link or site. But you are correct. There are still people who have no sense of integrity and who prey on those they think are new in online earning. Why don't we check out the sites referred by myLotters and if it is a scam, let's post it here (if that's allowed)

...Hi there babylucy2008, Welcome to the ranch, great place to meet new friends. The point you are making is a valid one, but if a person is on a website that they haved found to be a scam I really don't think that they would be inviting others to join them. If they have not found out that it is a scam then they would be as much a victim as the person they want to join. Unless the individual looking for followers is gaining and earning and collecting then I can't see someone bringing people along to be scammed, what's the point? If they know it is a scam then that's outright duplicity. Investigating before joining would be a good idea for anyone considering following up on a link to a website to earn money. Take care and beware, "o)
