Paid to call?
« on: December 06, 2017, 04:34:49 pm »
What ever happened to the paid to call offers in FC? I remember when I first joined, I had a list of paid to call offers. Now I don't even see that in the money making section anymore ???

What would you call? a commercial or residential business? I wouldn't want to do that. Especially with all the phone spam out there. I have enough of a problem with telemarketers having my phone number. They're not even human anymore.  >:(

I guess Paid To Calls are a thing of the past. I did several and got credited with every one.

I just noticed, no more Paid to Calls. I did quite a few of them and they were easy credit as long as you stayed on the phone the allotted time.

You would call different businesses , insurance companies etc. it would pay $2.00 or $3.00 a call. easy money

I think that's why they quit. Too many callbacks

The paid to call section has been removed. I guess it's now the thing of the past.

I never did any of them myself. They just seemed to me to be a way for some salesperson to get my information.  I suppose it was easy money in the grand scheme, but still didn't want to take a chance.  Bostonphil, did you ever experience a hard-sell sales pitch on the calls you made or get unwanted call backs?

I was really hesitant about the PTC at first but after finally getting up the nerve to try one or two I discovered they weren't so hard to do.  I miss them!

I dislike telemarketer calls so much that it didn't feel right for me to make those paid to call attempts, unless it was something I was truly interested in.  Since I never saw anything I wanted to get more info about, I just never tried the calls.  Many people, though, used and loved getting credited by them.

I barely like talking to people I know and like so I wasn't going to make unnecessary calls for things I didn't need. I was just fine making that bit of money in other areas instead
