Default how to avoid scam ptc sites

please read this rules closely, they are very accurate and will help you to never be scammed by ptc sites.


1. Don't Join Non-Customized Sites
When finding a new site, look at the layout, is it invested?
This may not seem like a key factor, but it most definately is.
If the layout is bad visually, they probably didn't put much time into it.

You want to find a site that is custom and in it for the long haul.
If they were in it for the long haul they would make their site unique.

2. Don't Purchase Anything!
If you find a new site that seems "ok" and your considering
purchasing something, don't. if the site is brand new with no real userbase or even payment proofs,
don't join. Let the site be online for at least 4 months before purchasing to be safe.

3. Don't Join Sites Of Past Scammers
If the site owner is known to of scammed in the past, don't join.
The site.
If they have scammed once, they will scam again, don't take the chance.

4. Don't Use Sites Without Support/Forums
If the site doesn't have a good support system or forums where an admin is active, don't use it.
This is the key way users and admins speak to each other and if it doesn't exist, they don't care.
You should be able to get in contact with the owner within 2 business days.

5. check who is behind the site
if the site have a actual address, it is worthwhile to check if they really located there.
you can send them emails, call them and to prove that a real person is answer your calls and your emails and give you answers to your specific questions and not a automatic mail with general answers.

6. check the site members list and how much the site pay.
a site that attempt to hide the members list or how much they pay
and try to be unclear about hes conducting.
its probably got something to hide.

7. read the tos and the help portion of the site
in the tos you can find a lot off answer you may ask.
if the site tos is vague and not answer to critical questions.

follow these rules religiously and you never be scammed
