A little obvious but I always google the name of the product/site and the word 'scam'. You need to be a little careful with this however as a lot of scammers post misinformation in the form of fake blogs or fake comments on other blogs.
I've written a number of hubs on scams e.g. dietary/weight loss/supplement/teeth whitening/work from home scams if that is what you are looking at.
Other than that just bear in mind that if it sounds too good to be true it probably is and always do your research before giving anyone your card details, no matter how small the payment might be. Good luck!

Snopes.com is one of the best for hoaxes and scams. Scambusters.org is another good place to start. I've also used Rob's idea of just googling the site and see what others have to say.

I usually google the topic and she what comes up. If others have been scammed or ripped off by a outfit, a very good chance they will show up in a Google search.

I have written multiple articles on different sorts of scams in my hubs and my blog http;//www.whenigetrich.com. If your story matches up with the cases statet in my articles, you can certainly identify a scam.

I would suggest a google search on the name of the company. You can also go to http://scamvictimsunited.com/ and on the message board there is a section for websites and businesses . . . post it there and the board members will check things out for you.
You can vote each answer up or down to show your support or disapproval. You cannot flag an answer, but if an answer receives enough down votes compared to up votes, then it will become hidden.
