i am asking myself if it was worth it. when you click through all those pages, you end up agreeing to things you were unaware. i know my credit was pulled several times, insurance agents calling me, people from India calling me to follow up on surveys i took (which astonishingly i did not get credit or paid for by FusionCash).
Now i have to change my phone number. I did not know i would be signing up for perpetual harrassment.

I hope you at least learned a lesson.
-
what lesson should i learn from this?
-
Lesson: Only do the offers you really want and make sure you understand the terms- if you don't, don't continue. Otherwise it's a hassle. Don't download anything unless you have virus protection and you're sure it's safe, unless you're using a computer you don't mind having riddled with viruses.
-
in other words, you work for FusionCash.
-
I don't work for fusion cash I'm a college student who is trying to get a degree but the advice above just seems like common sense
-
well if its accounting, you should see that FusionCash is not doing members any favors. they simply do not pay enough, commensurate with the hastle required. we should all get $500 bonuses. that includes you.

Like ANY job on or off the Internet, each person needs to evaluate their own situation to determine if the pay is adequate. In my case, Fusioncash adds to my retirement income while providing me with entertainment and I am very happy not to need to go out and punch a time clock somewhere to flip hamburgers for not much more.

i see your point, oldbuddy. i hope you have a great christmas. thank you.

If you ever want to make more from the Internet, look me up. 8)

Don't be so quick to sign up for anything and everything. Read them over first.
-
Old Buddy posted a good guide that you should watch that gives tips about what to do and what not to do. I watched it before starting and seem to have avoided almost all of that hassle. I only do free offers and I have never had a problem.
-
Not worth it.
-
Please never give you social security number for any reason. Its bad enough that you have to give your name, address and birthday. Keep in mind there are other ways to get credit...referrals, referrals, referrals. Good Luck
-
All good points... Fusion Cash is a great site to be involved in, lets continue to have fun while
making money carefully. Happy Holidays!!!
-
I rarely give out my phone number. And in the cases where I did get follow up calls,
I just kindly asked them to take my number off the calling list. They then have 48 hours
to comply or you can file a complaint.
All problems can be solved - IT'S FREE MONEY
but you still have to be careful.
-
The site is really good, but you need to know how to evaluate whether an offer is worth doing and part of that is understanding what's involved. It may come as a surprise that if you're getting $15 from a third party affiliate, then someone else is making a lot more from you doing it somehow.
-
FusionCash is good
-
alot of vaild points that it seems alot of new members should read before just going onward trying to max their income on FC.. I wouldnt just run thru all the offers cause you see dollar signs if you are interested in those offers feel free otherwise there are many other ways on FC you can still get your $15/$25 to be able to cashout before 6months!!
-
within 6 months, i can receive $25? that sounds too good to be true.
-
so far today, this same company FROM FUSIONCASH has called me over 30 times, and the day is not even half over yet. i have been saving my caller id logs and all of their answering machine messages. lets argue with that.
-
Emmanuel, either you're someone with too much time on his hands, or just trying to make $3 posting garbage on the forum. Your initial post was a big long rant about how you've been hassled and harassed as a result of signing up for offers on Fusion Cash. That is YOUR fault, not anyone else's here. If you were foolish enough to put your personal info, credit card info, phone number, and (apparently) social security number out on the internet (which you MUST have done, otherwise nobody could have run a credit report on you as you indicated), then you are the only one to blame.
Why not find something constructive to do, like a survey on another site. Obviously you're not happy here, and like many other things in life you cannot change what IS -- you can only change yourself, or remove yourself from the situation. Stop blaming the rest of the world for your own issues.

ok. so FusionCash asks you to complete offers which requires members to give out their information in order to complete the offers. then, if the advertisers abuse this information and members complain, FusionCash says you should not have given out your information (which FusionCash asked me to do as a condition of the offer.).
forgive me if i am confused and asking for help.

In other words, Emmanuel, if you attempt to do an offer that wants your phone #, or any other info that you don't want to give out, then don't do the offer.....simple as that.
-
If you ignore the calls, they typically stop after a week or two!
-
i agree with all the comments about the lesson learned.
-
Yes my advice is don't give out your number, if you don't want to be called. If they ask for your phone number of course they are gonna call you. I have been called a few times but I usually just listen to what they have to say then decline and never get called again. I haven't been called by anyone is weeks. If you don't want an insurance quote for god sakes don't fill out the insurance quote offer lol.
-
You do need to use caution when doing some of the offers. I will not give my phone number and I won't give out any information that I am not comfortable with. Each of us are responsible for our own actions. If something does not set well with you, go on to the next offer, I have been doing Fusion cash for a long time now and I have to say that I haven't had any problems with phone calls and If I did get any it was because I was truly interested.
So just use caution and be selective on the offers you choose to complete. Good Luck in the future.

LOL....

The only time i got calls was when i completed the car insurance offers. I just ignored those calls and eventually they would stop. Earning $25 in 6 months is not too good to be true. You can earn $25 a month if you work at it. All of the posts that i see of you Emmanuel are always complaining about FC. There are other PTC sites out there that you can look into if you aren't satisfied.
-
I have a separate gmail account that I use for all offers, not just FC offers, but MANY places where I don't want emails in my personal account. That helps keep me organized. For the phones, I only put in my number to those who I truly am interested in talking to. If you give out your information, it will be used, so choose wisely who you put yourself out there to. As for your credit being pulled, that would mean you signed up for a credit card through FC, which personally, I stay away from. You should never give your social security number out on the Internet unless you are 100% sure of where it is going and how they are using it.
I almost didn't reply to this thread because I felt like you were being rude to others trying to help you, but went against my instincts. Just use some common sense, some restraint (Don't do every offer, just those you are truly interested in!) and be conscious of who is getting your information you submit.
-
emmanuel you are being rude to all of us here, I have been doing FC for about 16 months now, I have a separate gmail account as well for everything and anything to do with FC and other sites and any survey that asks for email address, as for personal info, I do not give it away. if it asks for a phone number I put weird numbers out or just fill it out with 000 000 0000. and it goes thru. I never do anything were a CC is required, 1st do not own one and second not worth the effort.
Really, stop complaining and if you are not happy just close your account and go away.

For sure. Emmanuel you said you love fusion cash but then none of your posts are even nice. They are all hateful. If you aren't happy here I am sure there are plenty of other sites out there that will glady pay you for doing nothing.
-
I don't give my real cellphone number out.
-
I believe in the pursuit of FC earning and offers newbies are likely to fall for this.
Please consider whether or not it's worth it, or if you're interested enough.
Once you've given our personal info and there's no fine print then you're setting up
yourself for advertiser phone calls. Also be aware that some offers lead to spam
sites so think before signing up and be sure to have protection on your computer.
My advise is to create an additional email for offer just in-case it doesn't turn out to
be what you expected.
happy earnings.

Eh. no. Fusion Cash does not make you or tell you to do offers, actualy they encourage you to only do offers that you are actualy interested in. They do not require you to give out your information, that is your option, you dont have to do every offer. Notice you are the ONLY one with this complaint, noone on this thread is agreeing with you, and I havent seen anyone post a similar complaint. The only one responsible for giving out information about you - is you. I try to avoid putting my phone number, but sometimes I do and I havent gotten ANY phone calls from anyone because of FC.. sure I get telemarking calls from time to time, but no more then before I started using FC..
And FC is not the one who can make these calls stop, they are just like the middle men that connect you to the offers, they arent the staff of these people that are calling you.. When they call tell them to put you on their Do Not Call List.
I dont do offers that require a credit card, and mayb thats the ones that are calling you I dont know. But I do know that I do as many offers and surveys as I can when I want to, and I make a little bit of cash for it, and have not had any problems at all, except mayb spam email from some offers, but thats why I have more then one email account.
-
You can always put your telephone number on the "Do Not Call" government registry (www.donotcall.gov). I receive NO calls from telemarketers, ever. And, as everyone has said, it's best that you do not sign up for something you really are not interested in anyway.
