Scams |
||
| How to avoid being scammed: | ||
1) Do not pay to join a GPT website. There are plenty of GPT companies to choose from and the legitimate ones do not require you to pay anything.
|
||
| 2) Read reviews! Centralicity is constantly reviewing GPT websites to make sure users know which site is best for them. | ||
| 3) Read the companies TOS (terms of service) or TOU (terms of use). You will be glad you did. Look for loopholes and reasoning of why the company may not pay you, if it seems suspicious, avoid that site. Check for any discrepencies on different pages about payment information. Also, if there is an abundance of spelling mistakes or grammatical errors, be cautious. | ||
| 4) If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. | ||
| 5) Be cautious about providing any personal information, especially bank or credit card information. If you want to participate in a paid offer, consider using a prepaid credit card. | ||
