How to recognize a Scam PTC Site

It is well known that over 90% of PTC sites are scams, and it is very important to us to stay away from these sites, because we risk to wasting time and money. Are some signs which can make us to be more cautious, when it comes to a potential scam:

1. Does not have a forum
The forum is an important element for a PTC, a means of communication between members. There we can see evidence of payment, and any claims of the members.

2. Has Free Domain or Host
A free domain or host is not a bad thing, but for a PTC site is not so good. That owner of ptc if does not have enough money for to buy a domain, which cost $10/year, will not have enough money for to pay their members. Example of free domain: http://www.free-domain.domain.com/

3. Has an unprofessional design
Their script has many bugs, erorrs, illegible writing, …totally unprofessional!

4. Has an incomplete Terms of Service (TOS)
Among many others, an TOS must to contain all particulars of payments (ex: the minimum amount of payment), referrals (ex: how many referrals can we have), possible restrictions, etc.

5. Promises large gains
More than $ 0.01 per click for standard members, is completely unsustainable, and $1.00 per click can be only a dream, nothing really.

6. That PTC is owned by a scammer
Fooled once, you can be fooled and a second time.

7. That PTC is abandoned
A PTC sites can be abandoned, if that owner missing from forum for more than 10 days.

Even registering us on PTC with a big forum, with own domain, an owner with no bad history, with a unique design, we can become victims of these impostors. But if we consider the few rules, listed above, chance to fall victim, may be significantly reduced.
