   There a number of ways to spot a scam.
   
   First off, is it to good to be true?
   Any offer promising you millions or even thousands through one or two hours a day are the biggest scam artists. They play on your emotions, they play on your needs, and end up no offering you a thing.
   
   Do they want you to pay?
   Whether it be a registration fee, a membership fee, or a fee for some crummy e book promising to jump start your online career, its a scam, its just a way for them to make money online. Never Pay to work! If people are truly trying to refer you to a good program, they won't have to lie. Honesty is the best policy... always.
   
   Any legitimate company will never ask you to pay, everything I review requires 110% no investment. Most companies that pay you to post makes money off of the number of people in their community and the content they provide. They offer most people a cut of their profit, so there is no reason for you to pay.
   
   Don't get excited about Testimonials.
   People are always willing to lie for a referral, but why? Once you lie about something and waste someones time then they will never listen to you again, but its a quick way for some people to get a quick referral dollar.
   
   Do your research!
   If a company is legit, you will be able to do a Google search, and find proof of payments, and more. You can also find complaints on message boards and scam websites.

   I'm inclined to think that if any of them ask for money to help you, then they are a scam.

   If the people or the site talks about money and is not realistic then definitely it is a scam. You can discern it.
