If you already sent money and didn’t receive what was promised, it’s a strong sign that the platform might be a scam. To verify whether the link is legitimate, follow these steps:
1. Check the URL
Does it look suspicious? Scammers often use URLs that look similar to real websites but have slight spelling errors or extra characters (e.g., “eternal-platf0rm.com” instead of “eternal-platform.com”).
Is it HTTPS? A secure website should have “https://” before the domain name. However, some scams also use HTTPS, so this alone isn’t enough.
2. Search for Reviews
Google the name of the platform along with keywords like “scam,” “reviews,” or “complaints.”
Check independent review websites (e.g., Trustpilot, ScamAdviser, Reddit).
3. Verify the Company
Is there a real company behind the website? Look for contact details, an about page, and a physical address.
Search the company name in business directories or government registries.
4. Look for Scam Signs
Promises of guaranteed money or cashback for signing up – Common scam tactic.
Requests for personal details or upfront payments – Legitimate platforms don’t require payment just for registration.
No clear terms and conditions – Fake websites often lack refund policies or user agreements.
