Maybe if they ask you to pay money before you become a member.

Yes, that would be a big one. We want money to flow one way and only contribute with what we have been rewarded with?

I usually read reviews, but of course we can't always trust the reviews. Some of the positive reviews aren't true. Some people lie about getting paid because they hope to attract referrals, and some people are honest when they say they got paid, but it happened a long time, and since that time the site ran out of money and stopped paying. The fact that they got paid in the past doesn't always mean that we will get paid if we join the site today. The negative reviews can be wrong , too. Some people cheated or didn't read the rules when they joined and when they don't get paid they blame the site.

@wunnam I have experienced that, too. I read that they were paying, but later I discovered that they stopped paying several years ago. Some scam sites exist for a long time. I remember a site called Cashfiesta. I used to it for a while before I discovered that it was scam. That was in 2008, and the site still exists today.

you are right. for instance i last joined a site called : metacafe and along the line i made research and realized that, they stopped paying since 2009. So i was compelled stop with them when i had this information.

If somebody told me that I won in a lottery which I have not entered and asked my bank account. That is surely a scammer.

Scammers will try to grab your attention with social engineering (tapping onto human psychology like greed, fear etc.) to manipulate your decision.
