A lot of times, we find something almost unbelievable on the internet and we say, "is this a scam?". One of my first reactions to that is to try and find out what other people say. If it's a scam, people usually make themselves heard because of their anger and disappointment.
Another way to easily determine if something is a scam or not is to try and research the company behind "scam". For instance, Swagbucks. If you look up their company, Prodege, they have a website explaining what they do and now how much they are growing. There is no question that they are NOT a scam and are here to stay for a while.
Quibids is another example of if it's a scam or not. The online penny auction industry is full of scams, so why not Quibids? A quick look for Quibids doesn't show much. I eventually found that the CEO is Matt Beckham. He has done a few interviews both on video and in text. It's not much, but I didn't see any reviews saying customers didn't get the item they won. A good sign that this wasn't a scam, besides getting my items, was that the customer support is fantastic. I once had a complaint about something I though I had done, but then actually didn't. Customer support was friendly and satisfactory.
Of course, if you can't find anything on a company or it's products, it doesn't mean they are a scam. You'll just have to try it yourself (cautiously) or wait until it becomes a little more popular.
