How to not get scammed

Here are a few simple things to prevent getting scammed.
Follow them closely, they are very accurate and will help you in the long run.

1. Don't Join Non-Customized Sites
When finding a new site, look at the layout, is it good, or bad?
This may not seem like a key factor, but it most definately is.
If the layout is very bad(visually), they probably didn't put much time into it.
This means they either can't design, or just don't care.
Also if they are running the same old "bux" layout with a new banner, keep away.
You want to find a site that is custom and in it for the long haul.
If they were in it for the long haul they would make their site unique.

2. Don't Join Sites Of Past Scammers

If the site owner is known to of scammed in the past, don't join.
The site owner may have an excuse or decided to "change his ways", but don't buy it.
If they have scammed once, they will scam again, don't take the risk, ever.

3. Don't Purchase Anything <-- Important! If you find a new site that seems to look okay and your considering purchasing something, don't.
If the site is brand new with no real userbase or even payment proofs, don't join.
Even if you hear people sing praises about getting payments, don't.
Most scam sites pay out tons and tons quickly right away, then it just stops.
Let the site be online for at least 1.5-2 months before purchasing to be safe.

4. Don't Use Sites Without Support/Forums

If the site doesn't have a good support system or forums where an admin is active, don't use it.
This is the key way users and admins speak to each other and if it doesn't exist, they don't care.
You should be able to get in contact with the owner within 48 hours at any time.

Hope this helps those looking to invest/join in sites.
If you follow these rules religiously you will never be scammed, ever.
