ONLINE MORE THAN 80% WEBSITES ARE THE SCAM FULL



It’s really a sad reality, but there are people out there making a living from scamming people who want to make a better living. They prey on the hopes and dreams of those who believe that their product or service will change their lives financially forever.

Although there are many fraudulent scams on the internet, I am happy to say that there are still websites out there that provide true and valuable information, products, and services that will help people make money online.

If you decide that an online business is the way you want to build your finances, then there are some things that you must know before you spend your hard earned money on a product or service.

Things to look for on a fraudulent site are:
-No form of contact.
-No frequently asked questions or help section.
-No specified guarantee or returns policy.
-No specified privacy policy.
-Read all the terms and conditions of any offer very carefully: claims of free or very cheap offers often have hidden costs.
-Site does not have a legitimate secured site seal of approval.

One way to check if a website is secured by encryption is to look at the actual URL address. If it begins with ‘https’ instead of ‘http’ then the website is secured. The ‘s’ in ‘https’ stands for secured site. For example;https://www.theultimateinternetmillionaire.com/. You may also be able to see a small picture of a lock next to your browser indicating that you are on a secured website. A way for you to be sure of the security of your payments online is if the website offers a Paypal payment option. All payment information is completely processed through Paypal using 128 bits of encryption which is the highest level commercially available. When using Paypal as your payment method you can be assured that your information is protected.

So, now you know a few helpful tactics and tips that will help you beat the scammers at their own game and help weed out fraudulent sites. Just remember to listen to your ‘gut’ feeling and if you think the website looks dodgy, then stay away from it.
