1. You must pay an "activation fee" or "upgrade" to start earning
2. You earn more for recruiting people than for doing real work
3. The withdrawal rules keep changing when you reach the minimum
4. The website is only a few weeks old (check the domain on a free WHOIS lookup)
5. There is no real company name, terms of service or privacy policy

1. The reviews look copied or fake
2. Pressure tactics: "offer ends today!", "only 20 slots left"
3. "Payment proof" is only screenshots of bank alerts
4. They ask for your bank PIN, OTP or passwords
5. Support is only through Telegram or WhatsApp admins
6. You must download an APK instead of using the Play Store or App Store

Rule of thumb: if a site shows two or more of these, walk away.

A simple habit that saves a lot of pain: before you put serious time or money into any platform, try to withdraw your first small balance. If that fails, stop there.

If you have already been scammed: stop sending money (the "recovery fee" is a second scam), call your bank to block your card, change your email password first, and report to the EFCC.
