A scam PTC (Paid-To-Click) website frequently comes with unreasonable earning estimations for a small effort and announces that users can get large amounts of money only by clicking on ads or visiting websites. Fake assurance of transparency -- no real company address, domain registration without any contact details, and uncertain information about the ownership or the payment means -- that is however, the major sign of the scam. Another point indicating a warning signal is if the platform users are requested to pay for "premium" accounts which is then the only way to access the recipient account prior to, any withdrawal is done. These sites are at the same time the ones who will advertise their services by the use of real testimonials and altered lists of payouts. On the other hand, these shady websites may extend the holding of payments time and again, terming them as 'fraud detection' or 'account verification.' It looks like the withdrawal conditions have been terribly and artificially increased and the users will luckily stay without their rewarding. Those sites are also running with no safe connections (while HTTPS is not there) and the owners profit mainly from the ads filling the dashboard. This is especially true when the main way to get money is the hiring of people not the real clicking of ads, thus it can be said to be more of a pyramid scheme than an authorized business. There are signs of deception and malpractices in forums filled with inadequate contact forms and many written terms that have now shifted the entire responsibilities towards the users. The real opportunities will be true to themselves and not be on the basis of deception, anonymity, or the tactic of pushing upgrades too.
