Identify an Online Scam

              Trying to make money online and tired of getting scammed? Follow these steps to avoid getting scammed:
STEP:1
  1. The first rule is real jobs don't require you to pay the employer. Ever. If it wants money for a list of jobs or a start up kit it is a scam. if they really wanted to hire you they would not charge you money.
    STEP:2
The next thing to avoid is any web page with the word "surveys". There is no such thing as a straight forward paid for surveys site. They are all running a scam from selling your email address or getting you to sign up for 50 other paid for surveys sites in order to get your prize. It wont happen. Other buzzwords to avoid are "focus groups", and "email forwarding".
  1. Anything you get in a email that is not responding to your email about a job is bogus. If any email claims to be from a website you have an account on, like eBay or ehow and requests something open up an new browser and type in the website and see if there is something in the messages section to you about it. If not it is a scam.
    STEP:3
    Also any work from home craft assembly jobs or envelope stuffing is junk. The envelope stuffing is going to tell you to post signs about envelope stuffing jobs and get people to call you to get you to send them the same info to post there own signs. The craft assembly is to get sell you a starter kit and then tell you the crafts you made are not up to par with company standards. They make money selling starter kits, not the completed crafts.
    STEP:4
    study the Homepage. If the homepage of a site is poorly organized or written in font that is too large, then be careful. This is an obvious mark that the operator of the site is not a professional.
    STEP:5
  2. Search for more information about the site from other sources. If you think that a site might be a scam, then simply search google with the name of the site and the word scam. If the site has scammed other people, then they will be venting about it somewhere for you to read.
    STEP:6
    Be Realistic. Tons of sites claim to be able to make you thousands of dollars weekly or overnight. If this was really possible, wouldn't everyone be doing it?
  3. STEP:7
    Look for some way to contact the owner of the site. If the operator of the site does not want you to contact them, this may be a sign that you should not waste your time there.
  4. If you do not know if a website is a scam or not just Google search its name with the word "scam" next to it.
