Scam. It is defined as an act of deceptive and fraudulent operation. Not getting the clearer view? Well, in order to make a scam out of something, one just has to give you information and assurance that is built on lies, all lies, nothing more. Affiliate marketing is included in the many businesses that are affected by these scams.
The question goes: How can you spot an affiliate marketing scam?
You just have to look at the information given. Are important facts and details about the person who made the website seem vague? If it is, there is a 99.9% chance that it is a scam. Most websites containing forums and articles don't give you the information that you truly need. When you have came across one of these, avoid it. In a way, these websites are trying to lure you in their prey. Whatever their motive is, never let them get to you. Always question their demands. You might lose a lot if you entertained such dominance.
The ideal affiliate marketing website is the one that gives out every important and possible detail about himself, like an autobiography.
Unfortunately, even if you're at the comfort of your own home, it is still possible for scams to proceed. Series of programs in affiliate marketing are just masquerading to be in its truest sense but in reality, they are just trying to get your money and run away with it.
Different warning signs are:
Ideal affiliate programs are the ones that give out their specifics. It is more eligible if the telephone number that was given is toll-free. Contact lines can also be in a form of emails, just about anything that will give you access to talk to someone. Don't be satisfied with a machine.
Zero website.
What's worse than having no contact support? It's not having an email address. Imagine, how in the world can you establish communication between the concerned parties if the line for communication is gone? A company that proves to be legitimate is that which lays out a detailed outline of information about themselves.
No service or product available
What in the world is this company up to? Nothing to sell or even lend. Most probably you have stumbled upon pyramiding. It's a kind of scheme that requires referral and payment coming from the downlines to be able to earn. In that case, it's not earning but making a fool of yourself return my money.
Absence of testimonials
Come on. Not even one? Not even negative testimonials are present? Smells fishy.
Non-existing track record.
If you have stumbled upon a website that haven't got a positive track record, think twice or rather wait for a couple of months because MAYBE the company is just new in the affiliate marketing scene that it needs more credibility to be able to attain a convincing track record.
These are only some of the numerous ways to spot an affiliate marketing scam. So be very careful for these scams can make you run for your money. It's no wonder why a real company has to prove that their reputation is real just to be apart from scammers.
