If you’ve ever come across any of these sites in the past you might be wondering – Is it all a scam?
I’ve scoffed at people like this in the past but whilst doing my research to put this blog together I quickly came to understand why soo many people have this attitude.
There are a lot of scams out there.
And if you are not careful, you can very easily fall for one.
From what I’ve seen, there are a few telltale signs that things might not be “legit” with that site you’re thinking about signing up for…
Anything that promises you £XXX a day!
I know a lot of people who make £100-£200 a month through online earning sites (including myself!). I’ve never heard of anyone making that in a day and would be highly skeptical of anyone claiming to show you how to do that.
Money up front.
No legitimate website will ever ask you for money up front. Never, ever hand over any money or your card//bank details for “training fees” or “signup fees”.
Website
That, despite having a really good, flashy looking website – there’s very little actual content on there. Before signing up to something you should always have a look around. Is the website well designed? do all the links work? Is their contact us section up and running? Do they have t&c’s?
Reviews
Site reviews submitted by real people are always a great way to check if a site is real. These can be faked though, so check always check credible websites (like Moneysavingexpert) or check out my reviews of the websites I use 🙂
