What classifies a site as a scam?

What do you think makes a site a scam? I have asked several people this question today and have gotten many answers. Does a site have to charge money to be considered a scam site? Does it ask you to jump through hoops and then make excuses?

The most popular answer is this:

A site that does not follow its own TOS (terms of service) or changes its TOS without notifying its members is a scam.

My advise to everyone who is joining a site whether it is free to join or not is to read and fully understand the TOS. If you have questions contact the site owner. Do your homework and investigate before giving out your information or money.

Do not be afraid to join things but make sure you check them out first. Be a positive skeptic :)
