How can it be? There are much people on Earth who love to get cash quickly and fraudulently, and then go. And on the other part there are us who let them do that. Many of this sort of projects appear and go every single day with your money, even without being alive at least 1 month. So, what to do to make money and to elude getting caught by those tricky people? These are a few valuable tips to remember in order to deal with only trusted GPT sites:
1. The first and the main rule: nobody will pay you $1 for clicking or $20 for completing offers. Don't be so naif!
2. Prior to starting to work with a GPT site, surf through search engines using its name + words like "scam" to find out more about it. If you find some negative reviews and no refutations on them, think twice before joining it. See how long this GPT site is online. A long existence is a good confirmation it's a trusted site.
3. Look at the layout of the project. 100% scammy GPT sites use template scripts without even changing or complementing them.
4. Dilettant layout (low script) - the first warning that you surely deal with a scammer. Sometimes the header isn't noticeably changed because is simply a clone of the "parent" template, or doesn't even exists.
5. If you come across a lot of grammatical errors, it says that the admin didn't even think about how his GPT project looks like. What else was he thinking about then? Maybe he was in a hurry?
6. Differences in TOS, FAQ and on the home page. Usually no one reads them, including the admin. But you should. The most "popular" ones are in the site's name, prices, upgrades to premium account, cashout terms. All these things say that you will be clicking, promoting, reading etc. only for "promises", not for dollars.
7. See also if the GPT site offers banners for promotion. Banners are not a luxury, it's a must have.
8. Forget about the sites with no means of communication (no forum or chat).
9. No contact with the admin, i.e. he doesn't reply on emails, questions, always off-line. Stay away.
10. The GPT site is on a 3rd level domain. Does it mean that the admin cannot at least buy his own domain and hosting? What will happen to your money then?
11. You shouldn't join the sites with a lot of affiliate programs + redirect. It's an eyesore, furthermore you will be supposed to await tons of viruses.
12. Viruses detected on the site itself - scam without comments.
13. If the cashout is only acceptable by premium members, it means that the owner wouldn't like to let you reach your minimum to withdraw.
14. If some gambling is offered on the GPT site, it is also a bad sign, not crucial but undesirable. The script will allow you to win maybe some pennies. Then it will decide everything for you. You can lose everything if you go in too much.
15. Too long pending withdrawals, frequent changes in TOS, fall of the clicks cost, rise of the minimum cashout (if you are already in) - the first signal that you'd better go asap.
Just pay a little more attention to the projects you're up to deal with, and your efforts in earning some cash won't be for nothing.
