How can you tell if a website is a scam?

Question

Does anyone know if http://www.projectpayday.com/home2.cgi is a scam?

Answer 1

Project Payday is about Incentivized Freebie Marketing, they charge you for an information booklet which tells you about websites that market freebies and trial offers and credit cards, and you have to sign up lots of other people to send off for them as well.  I think you get paid for getting other people to join and subscribe to the trial offers and similar things, but as far as I can gather a lot of the point of it is to get people to buy and subscribe to the services and products, and you have to have a credit card.  I don't think it's a scam as such but just a lot of time consuming work and some of your own spending for not a lot of money.

There's a discussion about it here, btw if you want to know if a website is a scam type in its name plus the word 'scam' in a search engine and you will find discussions about it, but bear in mind when people say they are successful at something like Project Payday they are in reality probably struggling and not getting much out of it, but they want to give a favourable impression of it so it will be easier for them to sign other people up, you'd only get an objective take on it from people who had done it but given it up.

If you want to do something like this though it looks as though Gangster Greed would be better because they seem to be a bit more open about how it works and I don't think you have to pay to join.

Answer 2

Are you serious!? hAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA PROJECT PAYDAY!? YOU MEAN THE BIGGEST SCAM ON EARTH!? HAHAHAHAH

Look man, if there was ever an award for biggest scam on the internet ever, project payday would win that award with no competition.  

Answer 3

If they say you can make a lot of money part time without doing a lot of work it is a scam.  Anything that sounds too good to be true is in fact too good to be true.

Answer 4

A good way to tell is to search for it and look at reviews of people who used it. Make sure you aren't reading spam and see what people say about it.
