Got an offer from a basketball team? How to check it is not a scam

It is always good news to receive an offer from a basketball team that has shown interest in signing you as their new player.
Inasmuch as you get excited to receive such kind of news, it does not mean that such an offer if totally guaranteed.
This is because there are several cases of fraud that have been reported especially over the internet where players receive fake offers from fake basketball teams.
We even heard of stories that athletes paid money to those fraud people and since then never heard from them.

Therefore you should check out the team to ensure that the offer is valid and real.
The following are some of the tips on how to check whether the offer is a scam or not:

Legal registration:
Every basketball team in the US must be registered by the relevant authorities.
It is recommended to contact the registration authorities and inquire about the registration of that particular basketball team.
If the team is legally registered then the offer is likely not to be a scam but if it is not registered, don’t waste time on it.

Official announcement of the scholarship program:
Nearly all basketball teams in the US make official announcement of any available scholarship program on their websites.
Check the dates when the scholarship program was available and ensure that it is not outdated.
Some people receive offers that expired months or years back. Such offers are definitely scams.

Read reviews:
It is recommended to visit the website of the basketball team that has given you the offer and read reviews of pat beneficiaries, if any.
If the website does not have any review or is very passive, it may be a cause of alarm.
You can also ask some of your friends both online and offline if they have ever heard about the team that has given you the offer.

Connections & Network:
It is always good to ask people you know who have the ability to check those offers. You should ask them.
