It is difficult to say everything you should do to avoid being scammed because today any website can become a scam from one day to the next or fall into the clutches of some scammer, the important thing is to use sites that have a history of good practices and that constantly pay their users, you can research such sites by looking for reviews or even informing yourself on forums like Bizdustry, try not to communicate assiduously with people you do not know that offer you "investment opportunities" or other types of business without even knowing who you are.

It would also be good if you learned to identify other types of scams such as phishing mail and have good security practices such as introducing long passwords, authenticator in 2 steps and other extra security in your devices/sites/wallets.

Ask for your payment upfront when working for anyone online. If the person refuses to pay upfront, don't agree to work. He is a potential scammer. If the website you're selling your services isn't making use of escrow payment features, don't not use the website.

Second, never give out any personal information unless you're certain that the company is legitimate.
