YOU TRY TO DO A FREE OFFER (NO CREDIT CARD REQUIRED) After you register and complete the requirements, a few pages later, here comes a request for your credit card to sign up or pay for something. Other offers ask for your cell phone number. Then they text you with a confirmation code. When you enter this code, you start getting billed on your phone bill $9.95 to $19.95 per month. This may be tantamount to wire fraud and false billing, who knows.

Look carefully on those pages - there will be a SKIP or NO THANKS hidden somewhere - generally in a corner in grey text. I've never had to actually put in a cell phone number or sign up to be billed. Look close, use your TAB button, highlight the whole page. It's there. If it isn't, either put in a fake number or close the page and don't continue on.

if you don't put in a cell number, you will not get paid for comepleting the offer. in other words, you must agree to let FusionCash's affiliates ram charges on your credit card or cell phone in exchange for no value in return. you agree to let them charge you $19.95 per month for nothing in return (almost nothing) you may get 50 cents if FusionCash actually pays you for it.

i tried these offers using SKIP and NO THANKS. but i did not get credit for them yet. i also did not get credit for the ones who asked for my cell phone number, which i gave them.
SO FAR, THEY HAVE CHARGED MY PHONE BILL OVER $80.00

Read the forum if you don't completely understand how to complete an offer it can be helpful. If you don't want to spend money don't give any credit card information on the offers. If you don't want phone calls don't give phone numbers on offers or surveys, there are many that don't require it. If you don't want junk mail/email don't give any addresses Use common sense. Nobody forces anyone to do something against there will in any of these offers. You gave your info freely. Be more cautious and you can make plenty of free money here without problem.

I wouldn't give away your credit card number online unless you were truly interested in paying for something.

Yeah, I learned my lesson the hard way the first time I came across one of these. Now I ALWAYS look for a skip button.

Skip button is definitely your friend for that kind of thing. The cell phone number is one of the key ways these companies are able to gather revenue.

I never give my true cellphone for sites that I have questions about the legitimacy of the site.

Can you tell us what the offer was? I've done tons of the free offers and have never been forced to give my credit card number. And if you don't want to give out your real number, sign up for a k7.net voicemail number. That way when someone calls you it goes to your email address.

I have wasted so much time filling in the "Free" offers, only to get to the end and then I have to buy something to validate the offer. If there's not a "skip" button, I just log out. Most frustrating!
-
I know from experience, that cellphone offers aren't worth it...I used to think that I could enter a number, cancel it before getting charged...but I got a $200 bill the next month. Check the terms and conditions...EVERYTIME!

Yeah I avoid offers that make me pay a fee. It should be illegal because most people don't read the fine print. And it's not always the consumers' fault.
