I get a lot of spam too, but I have gotten a large amount since I first started using the internet. Who knows where all of this really comes from. FC does not support "scam advertisers," they simply sell the advertising spots in order to bring in some money. How do you think we are all given the opportunity to make free money????

By the way, there are young people who use FC. I have seen many that are 15 or so. I think as an adult you should be more respectful and considerate with your language choices. Everything that was stated could have been said without using vulgarities.

i have gone through hundreds of email addresses over the past year. when one gets out of hand with the spam...i set up a new one. i have my personal email for family and contacts and never use it for offers.

There are many, many reasons why offers do not credit.  I am sure that some advertisers are more reputable and honest or have better tracking systems when compared to others.  You just have to take the good with the bad.  It is easy to create a new e mail address for these sort of offers, so you do not have to worry about too many "junk"    e mails.  Also please be careful with the language.  The foul language detracts from the sincerity of your post.

That is an excellent idea, but then I do not check it, and then something comes along that I wanna see, so then I am out a good bargain, maybe not so good, mine is full of junk mail already anyway, takes 2-3 hrs to go through it nw.

The language doesn't detract from the sincerity, it enforces it.  All of this is true.

I am in total agreement with the spirit of the post here about the spam, undesired phone calls, and not receiving credit for some completed offers.

You do have to take the good with the bad, BUTTTTT you can always get another email address to use for the offers, and use another phone number that you know has been disconnected. I use the one for computerized call in dating site. Just give em a little of their own medicine. UNLESS IT IS SOMTHING THAT I REALLY WANT, THEN IT IS A GAMBLE..

Wait..... There are young kids (Approx. 15) who use this site????  Aren't you suppose to be 18 yo or older?  Come to think of it, how does FC filter who's who?  Personally, I don't like the fact that kids are on this site....just my opinion.  I mean, how can they give a successful survey on some products and stuff?  Okay, I'll get off the soapbox.

    Just remember that nobody said the web was a safe place for you, your information, your privacy or your children. Whenever you go online and share your informaion you are not only at the mercy of unscrupulous "merchants" but also those thst evesdrop on them. I want to believe that every one is as honest as me but I do know better.  Now about this bank account in Nigeria...

Thanks much I recently posted a new topic in regards to not being credited from one offer but this explains why thanks again

I have think it is bad that people do this but there is only some things that we can do to change them.  i use a email for just these types of things and then I check it every couple of days to see if there is anything that I want in it.  As far as the phone I get alot of telemarketing calls if I do these or not.  So a couple more calls are not going to kill me use your caller ID and if you don't know the number don't answer the phone let the machine get it.

Opinion Outpost is a great survey spot.I have actually gotten a few checks from them. There points add up to cash..500 pts =5.00 and you can cash out at 10.00. It is pretty cut and dry .

You are not to refer to other money making sites on here. It's against Fusion Cash rules and regs. BTW your information about Opinion Outpost is also wrong.

I have a spam blocker and antivirus protect does it help with stuff like that?  Its hard to pick the right program to prevent from loosing your computer and everything in it.  There are people who are vendictive and slap a virus if you open the wrong email and crap.  My mother open an email and it almost crashed you new lap top until she went and got a virus protect plan for a year and it fixed her computer but you never know now she only opens emails that she knows isn't spam or a scam.

That's how come some people only buy and use Mac/Apple computers. They are so secure that viruses do not stick, nor do they even get in. I've always wondered if Windows based PC companies sell their antivirus program updates each year if they know what viruses are out there to begin with? Food for thought. It's a profitable company who can arrest a virus and fix it before it does any damage. How do they know the solution to the hundreds of viruses released yearly unless they have prior knowledge. Just saying.............. :dontknow:

When I first found out about FC, I created an email address just for FC offers so that the spam would go there. FC contacts me at my real email address.
Title: I WAS TOLD NOT TO CRITICISE FUSION CASH BY MEMBERS MAYBE EMPLOYEES OF FC
Post by: emmanueljarrell on December 24, 2011, 06:25:26 am
i posted a few criticisms about FusionCash, blowing off some steam, because i was frustrated. some members popped up and told me not to criticise FusionCash, another told me they would sue me for making them look bad, and stuff like that. i guess you have to say only nice things about this most generous company.

in one post i stated that after my first day with Fusioncash, at 7:30 am the phone started ringing off the hook. hundreds of unwanted telemarketing calls.

FusionCash's sponsors pulled my credit 152 times !!!

FusionCash's sponsors charged my credit card and my cell phone hundreds of dollars for stuff when i clicked on "free offers...do not require credit card"

A nurse called me and told me she was coming to take my blood (you can't make something like this up, folks).

i have not received credit for most of my offers and surveys i took. some of which i paid hundreds of dollars already. i am up to $18 in FusionCash money.

it doesn't add up.



this was one of my posts:

somehow, they came to some conclusions based on my survey answers. i never answered a single survey that i had erectile dysfunction. although, i was asked. WHAT CAME NEXT...

FusionCash? they are calling my house asking me if i suffer from erectile dysfunction, sounded like Wilfred..from the "diabetis" commercial. i didn't need that today. that's like calling your house asking you questions about how you feel living with cancer. i didn't ask for those helpful calls. why would anyone want to buy products from their sponsors if they are so disrespectful to potential customers. i told the guy, if i had erectile dysfunction (as FusionCash false claimed to you that i suffered from), i certainly did not need an emergency response phone call from you to save me from it.

I do hate not getting credit for doing something I did - primarily on surveys. But as to other's people's frustration about telemarketing this is the reason I avoid certain offers even if the incentive looks initially attractive. On sites like Fusioncash I only do certain things and never things that ask me to provide my credit card.

Another member did not tell you that they would sue you for making FC "look bad".  The actual posts are archived by message ID#s so, falsely interpreting them in order to 'troll' casts the same dubious light on your other speculations.



i guess you have to say only nice things about this most generous company.



As long as you are willing to accept any consequences of what you post, there's no compelling reason to post as desired.

Websites cannot actively check every claim made by advertisers. If something looks suspicious, don't get involved. By the way, if you read the fine print for many of the offers on FC, it will tell you that by submitting your information you agree to receive spam from the advertisers. That
is why it is best to get new email addresses specifically for these offers, and don't give them any information you don't want them to have.

This is excellent advice.  If an advertiser does cross the line, consider opening a support ticket to let FC look into the matter as well.

I haven't really had any problems.  I have one email for my survey stuff...FC and a few other sites.  And a personal email for family and friends.  As far as the spam phone calls go, I google them and answer or call back the ones I am interested in.  Not a big deal really.

 :dontknow: its easy yes to get some alternative email addys to use for offers that may spam ur inbox however as far as phone solicitations... some have a box that you click to say yes you are willing to recieve phone calls uncheck the box...and its quite impossible to expect everyone to beable to afford a VALID alternate phone number to give for these calls...you could always tell em they have to wrong number or screen the calls from ppl u dont recognize the number, call em back and when you get the recording with the option to be put on thier no call list push the number they ask for and the calls will stop! It worked for me!
