My niece knew of many sites that pay well but she does not share them to me. They are all about articles writing in a magazine. Also , she has a website and pays a domain. She earns almost $2000 a month. She purchased a new car thru installment. 18,000 pesos a month for 4 years.

Wow, she seems to earn well from the sites. I don't like writing articles as it requires lots of hard work and time. Maybe forums are the best options for me.

Yes in Europe the salary is higher unlike here in India where the employees are exploited by giving them less salary and take work more than they are paid.

One cannot say what will be the future of an app or a site so one should go by the intuition sometimes. If a company pays unexpectedly higher than others and asks for some fees then for sure the site is likely to be a scam.

The moment you stop being greedy, you will also avoid getting scammed. Another reason for getting scammed is ignorance, therefore, you should be open to learning.

To avoid being scammed online, you can follow these steps:

  1. Research the company or individual you're dealing with, including checking their credentials and reading customer reviews.
  2. Be cautious of unsolicited emails or messages, especially if they ask for personal or financial information.
  3. Don't click on links or download attachments from unknown sources.
  4. Use secure websites when making financial transactions, such as those that start with "https" and have a padlock icon.
  5. Avoid deals that sound too good to be true, especially if they require payment upfront.
  6. Keep your computer and mobile device secure with up-to-date antivirus software.
  7. Use strong and unique passwords for all online accounts, and enable two-factor authentication whenever possible.
  8. Be wary of callers claiming to be from a government agency, such as the IRS, or a technical support provider, who ask for personal information or payment.
Remember, if something seems suspicious, it's better to err on the side of caution and not engage with it.
