It's really hard to control the emegence of scam sites as everyday these sites flourish like "mushrooms".
The hard part about this is that many people fall prey to these scam sites with the promise of earning money the easy way.
Educating the public is one way to prevent us from being scammed. Look for accreditation or registration of the company or website in the Federal Trade Commision or any governing body.
Let us be vigilant about this: If they sound too good to be true, chances are, they are scam sites.

The most worrying factor is scam site's are incraesing in number and also people falling into their trap are also increasing in number and i feel if everybody gets together teher might be soem remote solution to stop these scam sites or atleast to control these scam sites from dominatinga nd i think all legit sites can get together to find some solution for this....one thing is agree with you as most people don't look into more details of company and they justw ant to earn more money easy way ....isn't it?
Anyway's, thanks for responding

I agree that it is sad and unfortunately for the good sites people will be afraid to try them so they are also getting hurt by scammers. People should investigate first and not jump to earn a quick buck. I think the old saying that "if it sounds to good to be true it probably is". As far as stopping them I think all the legitimate sites need to band together and come up with a solution as the people who were burnt don't have the resources to stop them. Here on my lot we could do our part by not responding to their postings. No responses equals no points, no responses means no referrals. That should help deter them!

Yes, i agree that everybody should study the company backgrounds before they invest their money or time into that and even payment histories of that company as this will atleast reduce major risk of getting scammed isn't it?
more over, one should reduce their greediness which will help out in everything in the long run.You have really made some valid points here and it's really wonderful if all legit sites come together and find out some solution isn't it?
Anyway's, thanks for responding

Ha.....Ha...i also know that it is virtually impossible but somewhere down i feel we can atleast reduce the number of scam sites if not removing it completely and maybe we need inputs from all those who are into "work at home" things isn't it? what do you think?

we are not able to know which site is scam or not. we can jsut know from other user who alredy join these type of site.if they bear loss then we know that this site was scam.Site like high income, earning at home is mostly scam site so avoid these site.

Yeah..in some way's you are also right as we maynot be knowing whteher it is a scam site or not.But, definitely you can reduce your risk of getting scammed by simply studying the company background and payment histories and trying to talk to seniors who are working in those sites..isn't it?
