Ways on spotting an illegal money making website.

“Thanks for visiting my site, my name is Clifford Smith. On this site, I expose the truth about online money making business; and as you read on, I would be showing you my secrets of how I made $1,000,000 while sleeping just applying the technique you would later discover. After going through my site, if you have been depressed by that situation that seems to have kept you in a low income state, you will be glad you found this site; as I will be exposing my secrets which you can use to start earning a six figure every month.”

Now isn’t that a beautiful piece of information. Imagine making that amount of money in three days while sleeping. That really should be the head line news on New York Times or Insider.
But hey man… wake up! … Because that’s a scam!

Yes first they come up with such mouth watering offers like making a thousand buck every month, or having to invest a dollar or two and making about a million dollar profit.

That seems great really, I actually subscribed to some of these programs in the past and boy… you really would love my story.

Well the truth is, they flood the internet with mass replicable websites, containing attractive offers—call them formats if you like, and the question is, how many people will you be asking the question:
“Would you like to earn some money while you sleep?” and would tell you no? Well the answer should seem obvious now. So putting 1 and 2 together, one would know that for as many who would’ve answered yes to that question, would also be subscribing and hence taking part in the program. This of course means big deals for scams, as they would be the one sleeping while they make the money of you.


Take a look at these few examples of money making phrases:

  • “ if you have been looking for a great way to make money online, you’ve taking the right step by coming to my website; as I will show you a concise step by step guide in making $10,000 while you sleep”—SCAM!

  • “Let me show you how I made $1,000,000 by Google Adsense, just follow these principles and you would be on your way to earning a six figure monthly—SCAM!

  • “I made $20,000 in one month; you too can, by subscribing and ordering your membership details for $49.99 only—SCAM!

Their techniques are many, and they convince you into giving up your quest for finding out how legal the website is until you’ve become a victim of yet another scam.

Now to our topic on how to spot an illegal money making website. What’s the meaning of help in the first place? And why would any one decide to help you make money online and then ask you for a fee in return? Well the actual fact of the matter is, a transaction is in progress, and what seem to be transpiring at such time is obviously no longer help… its business!

In our desperate bid to better our lives; having all those things we’ve always dreamt of, we seem to have been blinded by greed and hurriedly forget our sense of reasoning. We’ve sometimes passed through this mirage at one point or another; and occasionally scammed, especially when we speedily subscribe into programs that we know little or nothing about… simply because of an attractive phrase that says: “make $1,000,000 in one month with these step by step guides”

This is not to rule out completely the concepts that making money online isn’t possible if you give it a try, but to say that one could be ruined off if he or she is not well armed with the right information or tools to get a head start. As you would later discover here in this post, there are lots of underground research and other factors to consider when subscribing to money making program.

Making money online from home, Jupiter or wherever is not as easy as most people will make it seem (so my advise to you is that, don’t go quitting your day job so quickly because of some well organized written testimonies by people who don’t even exist, saying how lucky they are to have found a website that has transformed their lives.) Make sure you’ve gotten a hold of it, as this field takes a lot of dedication, understanding, thorough research, clean information and skepticism… yes skepticism.

To succeed in this area and to have a good start into this field, you need to be skeptical in your approach, that way you make minimal errors, and maximize your profits.

Before parting money with any get rich money making website, you might need to put into practice the following tips, as to help you know if those websites that offer such programs are scams.

  • Check to see if the site operates an active forum.
    Site forums are places in websites where members of the site discourse on issues regarding the services provided by the site. Observe the topic discoursed; it is only there you will find real testimonies on the legitimacy and truthfulness of the site.


  • Check to see if the site runs an active support system.
    This is one very good way to identify an illegal money making website, as none would ever provide an active support system such as live help, a feedback form. In the situation where they do provide these supports, it is however not a clear guarantee that they are legal. Send them a support ticket on some basic request and see if they respond in say two to three days time. You would come to realize that most of these sites don’t respond to support tickets submitted.
    But beware of auto responders too!

  • Look for the Authentic Security Certificate of the site.
    This is usually a golden padlock icon situated below, just immediately above the task bar, by the right hand side of the screen. A wobble over this padlock icon would automatically pop up a mini screen which will show details of the security certificate of the site. If this icon is not there, then beware!

  • Do a thorough search.
    Having the website address handy, do a good search, using any of the search engines like Google. With a word like scam or fraud in front of your search topic, you will get relevant information from users of the site, which will be putting you in a safer side.

Bear in mind, if it sounds too attractive to you, hold on to your money first, because it might just be yet another scam, be reluctant and have a good sense of judgment. Having performed the tips above, you would already be on the journey to the safer side in the industry of scams… beware!
