I am interested in knowing exactly what you think makes a site a scam. As I look through different discussions I find that not everyones definition of a scam site is the same. For instance, I feel a site is a scam if it doesn't credit my account for clicks and other tasks I have performed. Luckily I have only ran into one site that has not credited me my full earnings from the ads I clicked. Also I would consider a site to be a scam if you never recieved your payout. I hear a lot of people state that this and that site are scams because it takes 6 months to recieve your pay. What does scam mean for you?

Well my definition of a scam site is when a site gives you
false information to join firstly. If they are just telling
you something to get you involved and then when you do join
you find out that there are hidden costs to me that is a
scam. If a site is supposed to pay within a reasonable time
and they don't chances are it probably is a scam site. I
am very skeptical of most online sites because I have found
that there are too may that promise too much and they don't
live up to their promises. I have almost been scammed on
a few occasions so I am extremely careful. I need to make
money but can't afford to invest money to make money and
that seems to be immpossible to do.

like allready said ... if they doesnt pay for very long time without announcement of reason why it took so much time, then they are in black list of scam's

Hi MatejScorp13. Thank you for responding. Unfortunately I do not know if I agree with you. I do not see how a site could be considered a scam unless they do not pay you. If you get paid by them but it is late being received, I see this more as an unfortunate event that needs to be evaluted by the company so that it doesn't easily happen again. In any area of life you are going to have unexpected situations cross your path. Unfortunately not all places of buisness can be perfect, thus creating late pay in some situations. Although if they have any type of a good mission statement and had followed it, you would have been informed about the delay in a much needed professional manner. I hope that you have been able to find a site that you are happy with now. Have a great day:)

For me, a scam site is practically one that doesn't pay it's member and if they do show some proofs that they paid , I would still consider it a scam site if the admin doesn't show for a long time and doesn't make announcement about his whereabouts like if he is going on a vacation or something. I also want to judge a site's appearance as this is also one quality that I can tell that a site is scam. Especially if the quality of the website is poor and without forums or any support, then that is definitely scam for me and I can be more aware now because I had been scammed already.
