Paid to Call (Careful)!!

[mardukblood2009]

Thanks for the post. I was wondering what " paid to call " was all about. Now I know.

Thanks for starting this topic.I have never done any Paid To Call offers.I have never had a legitimate interest in any of the services.Also,I've always been suspicious about giving my number to any of the companies sponsoring those offers.Not only will they call you,but you never know who else they give or sell your number to.I already get enough telemarketing calls.I don't need any more.

Thanks, that why I have never done the paid to calls,  try  my best to avoid telemarketers and even though I've signed up for the do not call list they somehow still seem to get through, so I avoid giving out my phone number as much as possible!

I have never had a problem that I know of. I think you can usually tell them you are not at a number that they can call you back at, but if you're calling a toll free number they can see your number even if you have it blocked so IDK.  I still get telemarket calls all the time. I usually just don't answer if I don't recognize the #. They can always leave a message so shouldn't miss any important calls. Really hate the computer ones though and the ones where you have to say hello 3 times before they click in to pitch you... How rude
You can always do like Old Buddy advises though and pitch them on FC.

I have done several paid to call numbers and I guess I've been lucky - never received any calls from any of them!  If it continues I would put them on the do not call list and tell them you are doing that and if it continues you will file a complaint.  That usually always works - good luck!

I have not tried the Paid to Call offers yet.  I have prepaid cell phone and I don't want to waste my minutes just in case they do keep calling.  It would take up my minutes and if I had an emergency I would have no time left.

I called on one about insurance and sure enough i started getting one call after another. So now if a number comes up not listed in my phone book i just reject it.

I haven't done a lot of paid to call offers yet. So far I've done I think 3 offers. I haven't got a lot of calls but a lot of spam emails from the paid to call places. They constantly send me email advertisements. I don't like telemarkers that is for sure. I get a lot of them already. I just say I'm not home would you like to give her a message.

Paid to calls are by far the bast bang for the buck on GPT sites.  A couple other sites I belong have more paid to calls and pay a bit higher.  I wish there were 1000 paid to call offers.  It's the best way to make money that I know of on these sites.

Thats the reason I do not try paid to calls. I dont want calls back on my phone

I once called and I spoke with a lady and she was so mad right away, she was accusing me of calling them 30 times and she was forcing me to give my social security number otherwise she will not entertain me. I just hang up. Thats freaky.

   Wow, that's crazy!!! I definitely wouldn't want to deal with someone like that!  She obviously needs to be in a different line of work!

I haven't done any paid to call's yet. using google voice to place the calls is a good idea, thanks for sharing that tip!

This is why  I shy away from Paid To Call!  I truely am interested in auto ins quotes and some of the other services, but ins salespeople can be really aggressive and annoying!

while the ptc offers are great, I've tried several of them...I stopped doing them after having the same problem.  it was a hair loss thing, said they wouldn't have your number and wouldn't call back.  not only did they get my number without my telling them, they called several times a day as well.  that was after telling them I had decided I wasn't interested after all.  the money is good but it really just isn't worth the harassment.
