There are so many scam sites on the web these days that I find I check everyone out with imreportcard, bbb or just a search for them with the word scam included. I think it may be because folks feel anonymous on the web. What do you think? I know that I start out very doubtful and they have to prove they are legit more than reality based companies do. Have you been scammed? How has it changed you?

It helps me to be more aware, don't just register in every site that I encounter, Every time I encounter new site , first thing I will do is make a research about that site if it's scam or not and also i check the website stat, how long it had been running, how much is the website cost, whose the owner, proof of payment from people who I trust that is already earning in that site if there's no then I look for other proof of payment that is inspected by other site. not every result of scam is bad thing yes when you got scam that is not good but you can learn from it so next time you won't fall for the same trick again.
