I am working as freelancer. I have seen more online business related scams than real opportunities. How to recognize a scam from a honest opportunity?

Be smarter than scammer is. Online scammers are not better than you are! Do not allow them to cheat you.

How to recognize a scamming opportunity.

The basic principle of scamming opportunity is to offer you exactly what you are searching for. Easy money for nothing. Scammers know this fact and they will offer you a great income for only small investment from your side. Here is the hook. They are living on small investment but from several people. Yes they are able to make pretty nice cash but you are the person who pay their dreams.

Here are some tips to help you stay away of scamming offers:

1. Use your brain.
Get rich quick schemes never work for you. $100,000 monthly for 10-30 minutes per day from home is nonsense.

2. Spam offers.
Avoid all "great" offers sent you via spam email. Serious business owner do not have to use cheap spam services.

3. Do not click links related to your online accounts.
Scammers sending emails asking you to update your ecommerce details. If you click these links you probably lose your money on your bank or payment processors accounts.
Problem with these links is beacuse it really look like email from your provider.

4. Online investing with unreal profit.
Stay away of HYIPs and Autosurfs. 300% weekly is simply unreal. Ponzi schemes paying some cash on the beginning to press you invest more. When you will start to think you can make money with these systems you lost. If you wish to profit on HYIPs try to invest small amount with several sites but release funds after first round and never reinvest again. You just scammed a scammer:) He simply paid you to build a trust and to steel more money from you in next round.

5. Forex scams.
Forex is not scam but people abuse it to make money on referral fees. Many gurus proclaiming making money on Forex is easy as 123. Truth is bit different. If you do a small investigation you will see these gurus linking to Forex websites with affiliate links. Yes, they will be paid when you invest your cash no matter you will win or you will lose.
You have to learn lot before you success. If you are interested in Forex, open a free acount and try to make money with virtual cash. Put your real money when you feel you are ready to do it. You will avoid quick lose.

6. MLM scams and pyramid schemes.
System is similar to ponzi
