If you're tired of PayPal...
There's a new cyberpayment company going live this summer called Green Zap. Right now they're recruiting account holders, and promising $25 (when the accounts go live) if you sign up - plus more if you recruit other people.
So...
Start here.
Happy Zapping! |

I wonder what sort of business model is this? seems like they just keep giving money. Where do they get their money from?
It says you get $25 for pre-registrartion. Read closely and you realise the $25 seems to be applicable as long as you join them .. even at a later stage. |

But then I wouldn't get MY referral fee...
And you'd miss out on months of referrals that YOU could be earning!
:D
In any case, PayPal also gave out money for registering when IT started. For Green Zap to work, they need to have a ton of people able to use it right from the start. |

Paylpal does give out money at the beginning .. but i think it's only $5 and no referral .. think of it this way .. each time someone sign up .. they are giving out $30 bucks(initial + referral if any) .. that's hellalot of money. I need to sell 130 images to get them money.
If a million people sign up .. they would have given out at least 25 million .. WOW
but seems like no harm trying though |

They have no privacy policy and no legal identity outside a post box. You have to put money in to get it out and they are using a viral/pyramid marketing plan which is inherently unstable. To learn more just google including words like 'doubts' 'scam' etc There are long and informative threads about Greenzap at many sites. I will be staying well clear. |

Greenzap! I don't think so!!!
Goggle Greenzap + scam ....and without giving too much away, find out who the owner of greenzap is/ who is behind it/ companies associated with Greenzap....then google again!!
Enough said!!

Well, it's certainly worth a shot, since you're not asked for any vital information.
Lord, y'all should Google "PayPal" and "scam" sometime as well! |

I often get e-mail scams after my bank details. Seems to me that setting up a dummy Paypal-like website is an easy way to get someone's bank details. |

Yes, it would.
So far Green Zap hasn't asked for that info, and if it did, I wouldn't give it to them - or PayPal, for that matter.

How do you spend the money without giving any details? Do they give it to you without you making any deposits or referals? It seems to me that there just isnt such a thing as free $ |

Or if you want to see what he's on about, without feeding his referral link:
www.netbux.org
Hmmm, 80c a day for doing searches through their advertising portal...
www.pay-pup.com
And pay-pup - well, neither the site or his referral link actually work at the moment, so don't stress too much... :-) Same thing, you get a minute amount for searching through their advertising portal...
For me, being able to type 'g spam junk link' directly into my Opera header and get straight to google is worth NOT earning the small fee for using an advertising portal, burning bandwidth and slowing my net usage - but your results may vary... :-)
Cheers,
Stuart |
