A Scam Site with a Certificate

As I was browsing the Internet today, I stumble upon another site what-appears-to-be SCAM! They even displayed a certificate on their front page.. yeah, they did, as if it really matters. However, despite their tactic, you can still smell scam by just sniffing their offer, which are summarized below:

• Totally free membership
• We are sending Paid e-mails worth €100
only

(Excuse me, 100 euros per email? Even multi-billion companies won't advertise on a PTR site this much, who're they kidding anyway?)

• Cash sign-up bonus: €500

(Cough.., I think I choke on my coffee..)

• Referral Bonus: €50
• We will send more than 10-20 ads a day to active members
• Get Paid for Clicking on ads
• Instant payouts for all members
• Payout via PayPal , Moneybookers, E-gold, Check, and Western Union
• Low €100,000 Payout - No minimum for Upgraded Members!

(We all know, this won't happen.)

• We Don't Accept Members Using Proxy Or AOL!
• Honest,English Speaking Members only
• Inactive members deleted after 30 days
• Inactive Upgraded members deleted after 40 days

(These are to, at least, make them realistic.)

Furthermore, this is what they offer their advertisers..

Proof of Deception

You see how their site earns and how they pay? Compare it! As you can see, it's totally not in sync. Now, you know what this site's really up to. They are only looking for advertisers, they don't really care about their members. They are only going to use their members as slaves to meet their purpose, which is to make money. Don't fall for it! Business certificates don't matter in sites like these!
