It is well known that over 90% of PTC sites are scams, and it is very
important to us to stay away from these sites, because we risk to
wasting time and money. Are some signs which can make us to be more
cautious, when it comes to a potential scam:
1. Does not have a
forum
The forum is an important element for a PTC, a means of
communication between members. There we can see evidence of payment, and
any claims of the members.
2. Has Free or cheap (my addition) Domain or Host
A free
domain or host is not a bad thing, but for a PTC site is not so good.
That owner of ptc if does not have enough money for to buy a domain,
which cost $10/year, will not have enough money for to pay their
members. Example of free domain: http://www.free-domain.domain.com/
3.
Has an unprofessional design
Their script has many bugs, erorrs,
illegible writing, …totally unprofessional!
4. Has an incomplete
Terms of Service (TOS)
Among many others, an TOS must to contain all
particulars of payments (ex: the minimum amount of payment), referrals
(ex: how many referrals can we have), possible restrictions, etc.
5.
Promises large gains
More than $ 0.01 per click for standard
members, is completely unsustainable, and $1.00 per click can be only a
dream, nothing really.
6. That PTC is owned by a scammer
Fooled
once, you can be fooled and a second time.
7. That PTC is
abandoned
A PTC sites can be abandoned, if that owner missing from
forum for more than 10 days.
Even registering us on PTC with a
big forum, with own domain, an owner with no bad history, with a unique
design, we can become victims of these impostors. But if we consider the
few rules, listed above, chance to fall victim, may be significantly
reduced.
