I have spent about a week online using many "money making" websites like mylots and I was just wondering if I didnt pay for membership with legitonlinejobs.com how would I be able to tell what money making offers online are real and which ones are scams that hackers used to get personal information for identity theft? With all the news reports about internet scams, it makes it really hard to trust things online these days. A friend of mine even closed all her social network sites because she was scared of identity theft? Does anyone have any idea how to tell what sites are safe or have any recommendations for other safe sites aside from mylots?

I'm like you.I am constantly looking for something to do from home.But it doesn't seem right to pay up front.We are supposed to get paid not pay them.I have also went to the search bar and typed in the name of the product.I would type in (is product name real or a scam).It has saved me alot.
Because as someone else,if it sounds too good to be true,unfortunately it usually is.There has got to be something legit.There are alot of scmmers out there.Just double check everything first.Good Luck.
