How to Spot PTC Scams
Posted by nepspeed82 on July 5, 2009 · 1 Comment
Due to the roaring success of PTC programs, fraudulent PTC sites which are run by scamming people populate the internet. According to some, 99% of the PTC industry is a scam. I’d say that’s way too many. We can’t be completely sure how many of these programs are scams, but for someone to exaggerate it in such proportions is reason enough that scams are flagrant in the PTC business.
If there’s one thing for sure, PTC programs don’t last forever. Most of them last only a few months. They appear legit in the beginning then end up scamming their members when they disappear all of a sudden. They disappear because of two reasons: they were really setup to scam people; or the site admin can’t maintain the site anymore. Hence, knowing when a PTC site will eventually disappear is a valuable skill a PTC user should acquire.
How then can you avoid being scammed? Here is a list which could help you spot the most likely candidates of turning into scam.
1) First things first. Like what I’ve said in my previous article about how to find the best paid to click programs, check if the site is in any scam list. There are people who are dedicated on tracking these scamming sites and they make lists and PTC updates to warn people about the scams. For starters, google something like ptc scams or ptc scam list to find them. You could also check out GPT boycott and scam.com for the same matter. Check PTC forums. No, not those within the PTC itself, I mean those forums dedicated to talking about PTCs. Take PTCTalk and TalkPTC for example. They’re oozing with the latest about PTCs and their owners.
2) Joining PTC programs should be free. If it requires a fee to join it’s definitely a scam.
3) Check out the pay rates of the company. Legitimate sites typically pay $0.01 or $0.02 for a click. If the company advertises extravagant rates such as $1 to $10 per click, it is 100% scam.
