How to Identify online internet scams

All looks good and you feel like a millionaire already................................. something is wrong somewhere . Did you ever think that if it was that easy to make money online how many of us would be millionaires by now, and if it was so easy to make big money on the net how many of us would be just sitting at home just pilling up the cash?

First thing in identifying an online scam is to be true to your self just think if it was so easy why isn't everybody you know do it?

Its simple as that so if you just feel that this thing is scammy just do research research and more research it wont cost you anything more than what you are about to loose on a online training kit or an e book that explains nothing. Before you commit your self to an online money making scheme make sure you go through the following check list. And ask the questions to get credible answers before making a decision.

1.Who will pay me?

2.Will I be expected to send money as registration or for anything else.

3.What is the total cost of the work-at-home program, including supplies, equipment and membership fees? What will I get for my money?

4.My pay is it commission or salary based?

5.What will I have to do to get paid?(A detailed description)

6.When am I going to receive my first pay check?



See what answers you get to your questions and then decide whether to go ahead and join the program.

Always check whether you have to send a way money or make an investment before you start work. This is one way that you can identify a definite online scam. All major scammers will rip you off before you know it. And don't forget to read the fine print and terms and conditions because that is where the truth is hidden!!!!!

Online data entry work is it a scam?

I have been looking for online data entry work ever since I started surfing the internet. But still I have not been successful to find genuine data entry work. I tried for days and days looking for genuine work but never did I find a single website offering the type of work that I was looking for. And on the way I got scammed twice paying $50 dollars each. They offered me simple copy pasting jobs and when I registered myself with their program it was totally something else, they wanted me to do copy paste email address of people whom I knew and the recipients of those emails should open the mail and also click on the link that has been provided in it's contents for me to get paid.
Then I was so furious and wanted a refund but they never replied my emails so that was the end of my poor $50. Never again did I pay for anything that promised me any work online but I was still obsessed to find some kind of work online and my search continued again for days and days. But here I am still without any online data entry work. But I came across a few sites that really offer genuine work but there you got to bid for it. There are all type of work such as programming, SEO work, data entry, Web designing and bookkeeping, but the real problem there is you hardly get your bid through with all the Indian and Filipino workers under bidding, still I have not lost faith I will keep on looking to get hired for a data entry job no matter how long its going to take.

From what I learn t from all these years ;

1.All get rich quick programs are scams.

2.Never pay any money to be employed or contracted,

3.What you see is not what you get.

4.Some sites are so very inviting, don't get carried away.

5.Think for days if not weeks before you invest in any program.

6.Never be fooled by the looks of a site.

7.If you give out your email watch out if they start to send you frequent email messages chances
are, the site is a scam.

8.Always report scam sites since if you don't report who will?

9.Screen the relevant site for scams.

10.Never pay for training or special software needed for the job, if they need to get the job done let them pay for it or let them deduct it from your earnings.

11.Big money does not come easy, never ever get carried away,


Finally my quest is not over yet, so if anyone out there has found a rare breed of a site or two providing genuine data entry work from home online jobs, please feel free to share your information. And also the once who have been cheated, mislead, ripped off, scammed or what ever you call it make a comment here!!!!
cheers
