How to Spot a Genuine Site ?

Thousands of Websites, Job Offers, Make Money Info...
& 1st Question always in Mind, 
"Is this Genuine?"
Review the Facts. Before You Invest!
 
Simple Precautions can SAVE your time, Money and Energy.

How do you spot a scam? It can be very difficult.  However it can be  easy with some simple precautions....
 
Check The Website:
  1. Check for contact information. Is there any? Insist on Landline number. If not, run! A genuine seller will want you to  contact them Or you might have a question you want to ask about their product before you buy. Genuine sellers will be happy to answer – scammers just want to hide. If there is contact information, look at the e-mail address. Is it free? There's nothing wrong with that by itself, but remember how easy Yahoo and Hotmail accounts are to set up. They're also more likely to be blocked by spam filters. A paid-for e-mail address means a higher chance this person is legitimate. 
  2. If the website does not accept check payment / bank deposits, then it does not have a valid setup. Stay away from it.
  3. As far as possible take the kit ONLY from a Registered Company. It makes sure that the company has a office setup. You can ask for the registration details / VAT numbers.
  4. Check the small print. Is there a disclaimer? Genuine sellers realise that their product will not be able to help everybody – no product can – and that there is a chance you'll be disappointed. As such, they'll add a disclaimer saying so. They'll also have a money-back guarantee. Of course, the words 'money-back guarantee' are no guarantee of anything - typing something doesn't make it true, and the words alone don't mean you'll get your money back. But they're a step in the right direction. 
  5. Have a quick exploration of the site. What other websites does it link to? Reputable sites won't be happy about scammers linking to them – and scammers probably won't want to let reputable sites know they exist. After all, the more people know they exist, the more chance there is of people complaining and getting them shut down. Scam websites tend to be small – often just one page. Genuine websites have more content, and therefore more pages. A small website isn't proof that you're being scammed – but it should make you wary. 
  6. A final thing to check, and this is one of the main things that gives scam sites away, is the testimonials. They're supposed to reassure you, convince you that the product is worth buying. You can use them you work out whether you're being scammed or not. Read them carefully. Do they sound natural, like something you might write? Or do they sound like a continuation of the sales pitch? The latter is a sign that they're probably fake. Also look at their photographs – and this goes for all the photographs on a site. Do they look professional, like they could belong in a catalogue? Or do they look like ordinary snapshots? The more professional they look, the more likely they are to be fake. 
Check The Work:
As you are a beginner with 0 knowledge, you can not do it. But keep these important points in mind

1. Survey & Paid Emails gives a payout from which you cannot even pay your Internet bills.

2. Google based Jobs i.e. Ads & PPC form filling job are genuine BUT
           
a)  In Google Ads, you need a complete domain based website and that too running and active for at least 6 months. Otherwise Google No longer gives Approval. Will you wait for 6 months? And even after that, chances are that you will not get approval.

 b) Google PPC form filling Job (also called online data entry jobs) is 100% Sales & Marketing. Google does not even pays you. Instead Google Regularly charges you for doing marketing on it's website. You don't get anything to Fill the Form. Yes, You have to PAY for filling the form. Surprised? Go and read what Google says  at www.adwords.com

c) Till date Google has not authorized any person / company to sell it's work. In fact there is no work to sell. Everyone gives you a link to Google which Google already offers for FREE.

Google PPC form looks like...

You Have to Pay for Filling the Form.
 
If one person clicks, Google will charge you. If the person buys something from frenchholidays (in above case), you will make profit. Otherwise, Google will keep & Keep on charging you for Clicks others are doing on your Ad / Form as shown above
At this level, will you be able to make sale? And above Everything. What Will you SELL???


It is possible to avoid the vast majority of scammers. You have to be careful, take your time when reading a website, and not rush into anything. Don't get carried away by a sales pitch! If they're genuine, they'll still be there tomorrow – and still at the same price, whatever they might say! The only way to defeat scammers is by preventing them from making a profit. So, when you next visit a site that promises to make you money, be careful - don't pay them unless you're sure!
