Some companies will flash checks as proof of income on their websites. These can be fake copies of checks. You can request them for a real proof of the checks. If they can claim that people are indeed making such kind of money, ask them for real proof. If they cannot, it means it is a scam and nothing more.

Find out if there is contact information on the webpage. An email address is not enough; the address and telephone number should also be listed. Lastly, do not go for websites that the real opportunity lies in acting “now”. If it is a good business opportunity, it should last for years, not just at that moment.
