WARNING Paypal, AlertPay E-mails

I thought I would post a reminder that there are e-mails going around which are trying to get into your Paypal, Alertpay, MoneyBookers, e-Gold and Liberty Reserves accounts.

Things to Remember
Heres just a short list of reminders for you to do, especially with Payment Processor sites as the ones previously mentioned.

ALWAYS have a unique Password
In reality, all passwords should be unique, this seems more true with PTC sites that turn out to be scams, since most of the spam and the hacking comes from the crooks that run those crappy scam ptc sites. So make sure that your Payment Processor Passwords are different from each other. Don't get into the habit of having a password like fishsticks, then using a password fishsticks1 at another site. If you must, write the passwords down and store it in a safe place.

Sites will NEVER ask for your password
No site, where you are using a password to enter, will ever need to ask you for your password because they already have it. So if you get an e-mail asking for you to confirm your password, then ignore it.

E-mails
If you suspect that you're getting a bogus e-mail, then view the E-mail Headers

As you can see from this e-mail, the sender and dickhead is from and1israel, there's other ones like this so be very careful with your information. If you get an e-mail from Paypal regarding your account the link will start with either...

http://www.paypal.com
https://www.paypal.com

The same is with any other site that you have passwords for, a correct link in your browser is always the link of the main site.

Scan your computer
It does pay to scan your computer for virii and other nasties, do a search on google for a free virus scan and a free anti-spyware program.

Always be on guard when it comes to e-mails, or sites asking for your account details.

Payment Processors Sites

Reminder about using your own funds
I would just like to take this opportunity to remind everyone to be careful about using thier own funds when buying Upgrade Packs and Advertising from any Paid To Click Advertising Site. Some of these Processors Sites do not have charge backs so you can't get your money back if you haven't recieved what you have bought.

Click on Banner to Sign up to Paypal

Paypal.com
This used to be the main Payment Processor used by all Paid to Click Sites but a shake-up by paypal ripped the heart out of the cashing out. This left PTC Owners in a situation where they've had thier accounts locked which meant they could no longer pay thier Members using PayPal. There are still some PTC Sites that use Paypal though.

Click Banner to Sign Up to MoneyBookers.com

MoneyBookers.com
No Charge Backs
You shouldn't have much problems signing up to this Payment Processor Site, it's not as popular as Paypal but you can withdraw and deposit funds from most International Banks. Click on this Link to Sign Up

Click on the Banner to Sign Up to AlertPay.com

AlertPay.com
Banking Support for Austria, Belgium, Canada, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom and USA. You can also transfer money to your e-Gold Account. Click on this Link to sign-up. This has become one of the more preferred Payment Processors that Get Paid to Click Sites are looking for as an alternative. Unfortunately it doesn't support many countries and cheques to International Countries can take up to 2 weeks to be delivered and then you have to wait until they've cleared.

Click on the Banner to Sign-Up to LibertyReserve.com

LibertyReserve.com
This Payment Processes uses e-Currency. e-Currency is a digital currency which can be exchanged into cash at different Websites. While I do not like this type of currency, it is becoming more common that PTC Sites will be looking at this Payment Processor

Click on the Banner to Sign Up to E-Gold.com



E-Gold.com
This is another Payment Processor which uses E-Currency, this time it's backed by the Gold Price. You will need to find an Exchanger to convert your E-Gold into cash, so it's very similar to LibertyReserves.com, Click on this Link to Sign-up

Debit Cards
Some PTC sites may start offering thier own Debit Cards, IMHO this is even better than a Paypal Account because it's accepted widely across the Internet. Of course you could use it with your Paypal Account if need be.

Do you need a Paypal Account?

Get Paid to Click Sites have different Policies on when you can "Cash Out" your Earnings. Paypal is the most common method used when paying members whom have earnt enough money.

You don't need a Credit Card for a Paypal Account
If you don't already have a Paypal Account, then follow these instructions

Click on this Link or the Picture Above to reach Paypal's Registration Site.
Once you've filled in all your Details, push the Continue Button.
If the Page is asking you for a Credit Card, push the Cancel Button.
You should reach a page asking you to confirm your e-mail Address.
Check your E-mail Account you used to sign up to Paypal with.
Either follow the link in the E-mail you recieved from Paypal, or enter the details manually on the PayPal page.
Once you've done that, your Paypal Account will be ready to be used.

You will have an Unverified Account, all the Get Paid To Click Sites I'll be listing will pay in to those type of Accounts.

So if you don't have a Paypal Account, SIGN UP here to get your own
