Many people have lost their hard earned money to online scams. These people pose to be a legit earning or investment platform to internet users but strip them of their money through deceitful means. Here are a few tips that you can employ to detect if a site is a Ponzi scheme, but before then, I will like to talk about GREED.
This has been the reason why these internet fraudsters easily prey on people, it's because when they propose a fake deal to you, you do not take your time to think properly, because of greed, the graving for more, since nothing is ever enough, you are blinded, therefore, you do not apply wisdom hence, you fall for their gimmicks.
Below are fews tips to help you detect a scam site or online earning platform:
1. Excessively high reward: Any site that claims it would pay you large amount of money for performing few tasks should be suspected to be a scam. Employers wouldn't pay so much for so little, they too are on the internet for profit making, I mean, it's business right?
2. Poor website quality: Scammers who want quick money may not spend so much to develop the site which they intend to scam people with. The site is usually characterised by the poor use of Grammer, typographical errors, lack of skill in it's development and in summary, it's has a cheap appearance.
3. Sites that asks for money in order to pay you: This most importantly should be checked. No employer would ask his employee to pay him some money before he in turn would pay that employee. It just doesn't make sense, please be wise. If you are making money for them and it is time to pay you, if really they can pay you for a job well done, then, they wouldn't request any money from you to get you paid. This money requested could be given a title such as gas fee (in the case where crypto currency is used), money needed to process your payment, or whatsoever, just don't give in to them.
