Here are some of the characteristics of a website that sells a scam :
- The website has lots of advertisements and slogans saying that you can get rich in a matter of months.
- The website itself is very impressive.
- The pay is very high as much as USD 150 a day. We all know that getting paid so much a day is not possible.
- The testimonials are very convincing. The testimonials sometimes are the only thing that stops the victim from suspecting a scam. They think if some else has done it, so can they.
- Even though Google search results show that the web site that is selling a work at home job is free, when you get to the page, read all the enticing facts at the bottom of the page it says that you have to pay a small amount as membership or a joining fee.
- If they say it 'Risk free' you should check out the website further and research on it.
- There are pictures of people being paid by cheque. The cheque number and the amount are very clear. Sites that are genuine will never risk showing you a cheque of other people's earnings. This is a warning sign of a scam.
- If you write to the site requesting for further information about the product, they will never send you a reply. Scam sites have very poor customer service skills.
- The address and contact details of the website are either a PO Box number or the telephone number is a mobile number.
- A site that overly emphasises their services and boasts that they are good.
- Websites that talk about scams should never be trusted. After all if they are a genuine website why touch on grim issues such as scams.
- Websites that sell high prices electronic equipment for a fraction of the cost is selling fakes and the site is very likely to be a scam site.
- At the end of the page check the 'privacy' and 'disclaimer' page. You should be able to ask questions and get an answer for it.
