How would you know if a website is a SCAM?

I steer clear of any sites that claim you can earn a lot per DAY, like $125 and up. From the ones that I have seen like that they are basing these possible earnings on you having a lot of very active referrals or downlines or on you being an Internet Marketing Guru which most of us are not. These would be the sites that I consider scams. There are a lot of PTC out there though that tell you honestly that you can earn up to $200 a MONTH and this seems like a more realistic expectation for beginners I think so I don't consider this type of PTC a scam. Make sure you find out the minimum you need before you can redeem and get a check. Some places have a very high minimum and it takes thousands of clicks to reach the day you get paid. This is not to say that they are scams, I just don't like to join ones that have high minimums because I get bored too easily trying to reach the requirements when it takes a very long time.

As for me, what I do is make a discussion here in Mylot before I join a certain site. Cause there are a lot of members here who are trying to earn online and I'm sure that one of them would have encountered a certain site. And it hasn't failed me yet.

i also to worked with some PTC sites but they never pay me as promise. i don't think any PTC website of the globe of internet pays you. if any one they just give you a small earnings in your hardworking reward so try to another online works don't waste your time.

hey since u new to ptc
i will tell u few sites which arent scams
neobux.com
fusionmails.com
wordlinx.com
mylot.com(of course)
matrixmails.com

since these arent scams their ads per day will be really low
but they are genuine

u can also go to this site http://ptc-investgations.blogspot.com
to see which are genuinely scams and which arent
also they give a review of each site

in term of money earnings site like ptc. check for forum and proof of payments first. try to send message to their contact if its working or not. those legit ptc also have chat room so member can chat freely and share discussions. a lot of scam ptc offers a lot of ads to click as a standard member. they offer hug money like 1 dollars per click or 20 dollars for survey site and etc then their payout is 50, 100 to 1000 dollars. with those big offer per click and they will offer upgrades so it will be easily for you to reach payout, and since they offer huge money of course member will going to grab it. legit site are neobux, palmbux as what i know so far. they might offer 4 ads per day and .01 per click but once you upgrade and buy referrals at least you can earn big. they also have forum and chat room for proof.
