You shouldnt also worry about internet scams, there are even real life pyramid scammers still existing and here scamming is rampant.

Think under these rules to avoid getting caught.
1) There is no such thing as easy money. You cant get $1000 for 15 minutes work.
2) If you have to pay to join, be suspicious.
3) Don't jump in the bandwagon and buy referrals or premium packages, wait till everything settles. (but this might be part of pyramid scheme so you might have to be wary about buying anything)

Hope these tips help you to avoid scam businesses and websites.

i have been scammed only once (scammed in the sense i was scammed my time) by surfjunky. Ever since then i've never been scammed. and i hope not too in the future as well.
