Who remembers paid to call
« on: September 02, 2018, 04:00:18 pm »
When I first started in 2012, they had a feature that was at the top of the page that was called paid to call.  You would call different companies and keep them on the phone for so many minutes and get credit. I actually signed up for a good deal one time and got credit for calling.  :)

I remember Paid To Call and did every one that I was eligible to do, always getting credit. It seems that they have long been a thing of the past.  :(

I never did one because I never had the desire to be a backwards telemarketer. Yech!  ???

Maybe others felt as I do and that's why they're a thing of the past now.  :-\

I did it once ... and actually enjoyed it too. Wish they'd bring it back.

I've been on this site long enough to remember seeing that offer as a tab on the Earn Cash page. I never tried to though because I wasn't sure how it could possibly credit.

I have only been here since about the middle of 2018, so I was never aware of this offer. It sounds interesting, but I am not sure that I would have tried it.

I haven't been a member long enough so I don't remember. I doubt if I would have done that though. I would feel like a telemarketer!! :)

I remember Paid To Call but I never did it.One of the rules for this offer was that we were supposed to have a legitimate interest in the companies we were calling,which I didn't.I also had concerns about whether the companies participating in the offer would collect and sell my phone number,and I would be flooded with more junk phone calls than I already get.

I never did the Paid to Calls either because I was afraid they would have caller ID, capture my telephone number and then sell it to telemarketers who would bombard me with calls. I don't miss this feature on FC at all.

I remember those but never completed them. I was always afraid of getting endless solicitation calls. Although I still get endless solicitation and fraudulent calls everyday anyways.
