Is payment the only determinant?

I've been in forums discussing about online scam sites; site claiming to be offering certain job and then failing to pay. And yes many of us think that so longer a site is paying you; it is legit. Are there any other parameters one can use to identify a fake site conning people into working free for them?

i think payment is the reason to exist for gpt sites of all kind so naturally this is the real difference between a scam or legit one in the end it will pay you for your activity or not?Naturally to determine if a site is a scam or not you can be suspicous towards some sites promising you so big earning to do nothing in many cases they are scams...

Well if they are paying you then they certainly not scamming you into working free for them . I think you get what you work for , I would no look any further than that . Why ? if I ma getting paid they not scamming me right ? what else do you want from them ?

If I were you, You must find a legimate sites or go find payment proofs. Real Payment proofs are really meant for you. You can also talk to your friends if they join that site or not or investigate more. Just do your own good. I hope you will have more and good legitimate sites.

That's the only basis we can determine of a site is legit or scams. If somebody can show a proof of payment from a particular sites, it means they are paying and legit.

payment is definitely one huge determinant in this scam infested internet world but not only that you might also want to check up on the site/person's ratings. There are sites/employers who will only pay you once as a "trial" and asks you to do more work and once you finished they will disappear.
