Right of the bat the domain name gives him away .CO.UK a serious company has a more specific domain name especially went they want to sell something or introduce you to a new system.Second you do a background check on the site,see how old the site is and who registered the domain name.Most important get a feel of what he wants from you if it's "make money over night" it's a scam.Free accounts with high payouts may also be scams if they have a low user database and to few reviews or none, worst case scenario(phantom sites).some people will say well it's free you have nothing to lose,how about time - think about it.Take care,best of wishes.
