There are certain web pages called HYIP (high yield investment program) which, as the name suggests, are pages that ensure you double your money in a short time. None of these sites usually last a long time and they tend to steal money from users, high returns are completely red flags, also a poor design can be a sign that probably the website is a scam.
Scam websites often make bold guarantees or promises that are too good to be true
If the offers they give you are too enticing, it is likely a scan. Most time, their schemes don't require any effort from the beneficiary. I love programs that I contribute significantly for a reward.
Websites with high thresholds have a big probability to be scam.
When you come across a website that promises you the moon its time to back away. And if they can't even be bothered to tell you who they are then theyre definitely up to no good. And always remember never give away personal information on a website that isn't secure, it's just not worth the risk.
it doesn't make sense to me when we are all looking to make money and you are asking for payment
I never join any sites which ask for money or ask for a lot of personal information. I'll check the contact information on the website. I may try to contact them and see if I get any reply from them.
One way to identify a scam site is that they would promise you bugous things that you would gain on a platter of gold. They are always emphasizing in what you stand to gain I order to lure you in.
I totally agree with you. Most fraudsters are like that, they give sweet promises with several conditions that we must fulfill, such as paying some money. When we have paid they will usually run away with our money
