Red-flag checklist

  • No real company address, phone, or named leadership you can verify.
  • Guaranteed EPC or “risk-free” income claims that beat market norms.
  • Pressure to deposit crypto, buy “packages,” or recruit before you see a first payout.
  • Tracking you cannot reconcile with your own server-side logs.
  • Sudden ToS changes or account bans right before a large payout.
  • Support that only answers in Telegram and refuses written payment terms.

How to verify a program

  1. Identity check. Confirm legal entity, whois/domain age, and team LinkedIn footprints.
  2. Terms & tracking. Read reverse-payout, clawback, and geo rules. Test your own postback.
  3. Small capital test. Send limited traffic and request an early withdrawal.
  4. Public records. Search FTC, SEC, court dockets, and major news — not only forums.
  5. Scale only after proof. Keep screenshots of stats, invoices, and payout receipts.

FAQ

Why don’t you list every “scam network” people mention online?

Forum rumors are useful leads, but we only name a company when a credible public source (regulator, court, or major news) documents it. Everything else stays as a generic pattern so we do not defame honest programs.

What is commission shaving?

Shaving is when conversions you generated are under-credited or silently rejected. Protect yourself with independent tracking and early payout tests.

Is every new network a scam?

No. New programs can be legitimate. Treat them as high-risk until you verify identity, terms, tracking, and a real withdrawal.

Where should I report financial fraud?

In the U.S., start with the FTC complaint assistant and, for investment/crypto offerings, the SEC tips page. Keep your own evidence package.
