Watch out for scam pools

[ongle]

Be careful about scam pools charging high fees. For example, the CNC P2Pool that CareBear is pushing is charging a 100% fee. You can see that by adding /fee to the URL:
http://192.162.112.138:8109/fee
100.0

By comparison, and not to endorse, p2pool.org's CNC pool is 2%:
http://p2pool.org:9388/fee
2.0

Yes, I've never seen so many scam pools as for FTC and CNC.

Is there any website or any better way to find scam pools than to search on the forums?
I think there should be a meta-website that collects info on mined vs. paid out etc.
Or maybe even a "test" site that signs up to all pools, mines a bit and checks whether payouts are reasonable.

I had bad experiences with
http://chn.mnlan.net/  (payout very low, probably 10% of mined)
http://chn.ub3rl3[Suspicious link removed]m/ (payout very low, probably 10% of mined)
https://www.multipool.in/ (shows nice estimates, but does not pay out)

What is a good pool with a low fee?

I like BTCOxygen. They've been working well with a low fee for me for months. The only thing I don't like is they don't have email/SMS notifications if your miners go down.
