"If you have some doubt then it's a scam"

Just hold your money, don't give it to scammers, invest in friends project or whatever, just don't wast your money/time.

Though it is right that if you have any doubt about a site so simply dont take the risk but sometimes we can't even have any doubt about some sites which turns scam because they pay the users for very long time and we think that they are really paying and we start investing too and then we see them running.

Please do not say if doubt then is surely scam...
I find this horrible that one is guily on doubt...in which world do you live?

You can always search for the site on google with the word "scam" , or you can even search for that in a trust network.

Also, if you think that the site offers you a strange deal, or a deal that you do not understand how can they make a profit out of it, it is probably a scam, and unless you got some good feedback from a trusted source, you should stay away from this site.

Don't hesitate to check before you pay.

Yeah, sometimes your own instinct is going to help you identify if they just want to scam you. But sometimes it is false accusing those good sites too. And the best thing, if you really doubt the site you are wasting your time for it. Then just simply leave it and find some other else and always remember that don't ever get into their sweet words, don't get fooled easily.

Instinct  would really somehow  help you   in choosing  possible  investment sites,  you are right there are some  instances where good sites  are being  accused  by wrong  informations  because  of some  people  work for another   website. Its  normal though but  we  should  be  vigilant and do some   investigations  regarding when you are  investing   to a certain site. If you saw  negative  on a  certain website then for sure  its a scam.

Maybe it can help because it make you feel uneasy or have doubt.  But instinct work on all cases.  Something that is alien to you will automatically tell you to be careful about it legit or not legit company.  And to make your mind at ease you are going to investigate if that site is a scam or not.  But basically, having knowledge over this scam sites and its operation, you will automatically detect if it is a scam site or not.

Well,if you see a deal that is too good to be through,or you see a deal that you literlly dont understand at all how the site are making some profit out of it,then you are probably being scammed.

If it is too good to be true,then it is aint true.

That is actually quite right that the sites trying to scam someone mostly uses sweet words and good returns that should attract the users and mostly new users who does not have any experience in such things get attracted by them and the scammers get their money from then while they regret later on.

Site scams are commonly see in many types, Add link site pages in the site and scam from that link and some people create site same like the online wallet site and scam you when you believe the site as your wallet.

If you want to escape from scammers, just search more about the site you are looking for or search more about the person you are going to deal.

Where should I search about the site or the person? Forums? As we discussed, high ranking forum accounts can be bought. News? We know that HQ, positive articles could be delivered from a writing service. So where?

Look the trust points and you can not go wrong about the webmaster...

It does not solve the problem when the scammer buys a high ranked account with alot of green trust. You see only an online avatar, but you can't see who or who ARE the people who actually control it.
This is why I have said that your best defense is just your common sense; if the offer seems too good then its most likely is, since almost any signal that you could look for can be faked by the scammers.
yeaa simply identify when the service offered to you is too good to be true then gotcha 100% scam attempt.
don't too easy to be lured by an exaggerate advertisement.
and be a smart customer , it was the key to not get scammed online.

How can we identify if the site is trying to scam us, that is the question, basically scam attempt falls under HYIPs and Ponzi schemes, they will create a very professional website that is very good to the eyes, then they will offer you a once in a lifetime offer of double your money in one day, then they ask you to refer someone for you to be able to cash out. This is some of the method scammers are doing.  Reminds me of some site that offers an advertisement and promised 120% return, but to get that you need to buy their package first, do clicks everyday and your profit stop when you get 120% or your adspack expire.  Your ads is viewed and clicked by the member of that site.  So the site owner is milking their member and making them work to get paid.  Btw, you won't get to click if you don't buy their adspack.

When the site is asking for more information about your Financial details than it is necessary without first providing any services or products
If they are asking for such personal information it could be because they want to be sure that they are not doing business with fraudsters who may use stolen money to them in exchange of good or services. Basically, it is a step to protect both parties. I guess this will not let you to figure out the future scams.

Indeed if they are asking for personal information that is not relevant for the thing you are doing, its pretty obvious that its a scam/fraudulent website.
In most cases it can be seen easily and you also should never just trust website blindly, always google it first before you use it.

I think that you should never look at the design or something like that, another thing you can also check is secured connections(HTTPS).

There are a lot of other possible symptoms to identify a future scam site, but misinterpreting a well hospitalised customer support will not be a right approach in my experience. Because, probably a customer support will always use sweet words and they are completely independent from admins who only having the plan of scamming you in near future.

Don't believe with customer supports,because scam sites can easily provide it. They can speak to their own and defend themselves if you are going to ask them if they are scam. Because I talked to a forex scam site and he called me out, but I already know that they are scam and I can say that my experience there is really tough because they will convince you to invest $100 to them with their sweet words and promises.

I do agree with you, common sense   would be the best defense against  with this   scam attempts. I do believe  that all of  us   are being  victimized  with this   kind of scams  when we are just a newbie  and  thats   a normal thing for  me because  we do lack  of  knowledge  on the   first  place  but  if we do have experience  with these such things we could really  know  already  on which  one is a scam  or not.


Truly common sense is the main key for us to avoid to be scammed and if the site gives such huge profit in return i think that is the best identifying tracks that they will surely run, only those newbies are really the prone of th bad scamming happen so they should better to do some research to look off the idea upon putting some of their money in that kind of sites and point them as scam investment platforms.

Avoid red trusted webmasters...they are and can only be scammers.

We can see a clear red trust on your profile, should we consider you a scammer as well? (kidding)
You should not just see the red trust of a site owner on this forum, what if the owner is not on the forum? How would you examine the site then? You should just do some research and ask other people about it and see if what reputation it has in the community, because sometimes it becomes hard to know if a site is scam or not, and sometimes they are not scam but they turn scam later, in such cases you would lose some money for sure.

If I refer at the redtruster and if they are honnest reputable members I can only be a scammer...
Only two solutions:
The red trusters are right and I am a scammer.
or
The red trusters are wrong and I am not a scammer.

We have no alternative...
My advise:
Considerate me as a scammer...so you will never be scammed from me (lol)

I offer 20000 satoshi dayly at my members...do not believe it...a scammer does not tell the truth...

I have offered 12281098.99 satoshi satoshi to my members...do not believe it...a scammer does not tell the truth...
