Are GPT Sites a Scam?

A GPT site is a "Get paid to" site. The purpose of this website is to get you to participate in some sort of offer. These include credit cards, books, ebay tools, you name it. The owner of course get paid for every submission and if you can refer others to do this, you'll get paid to.

I do not recommend this!

It had been almost 2 years since the last time I participated in a GPT program. I completed offers and convinced 6 people to join under me. When it was time to pay up, guess what? The shady site owner started finding fault with the people who joined . He deleted them all and I absolutely had no recourse. Then, because I forgot to cancel some of my trials, the offers began charging my credit cards. I was a complete waste of time and a disaster. All my work was for nothing.

C,mon! Give GPT another chance.

My website getrichmom reviews work at home opportunities so today I agreed to try GPTs again. On the warrior forum a woman had an interesting signature . She was going to pay me to complete a few offers for her. Again, I tried to complete offers.These were some sort of credit repair programs. Listen, its a headache. Don't do it!
My credit card was charged $2.95 for each of the two trial offers. However, I never got credit for the offers. I wrote the admin of the site and received this lovely reply.

" Unfortunately there isnt anything we can do when offers dont credit. The credits come from the affiliate for offers completed, and sometimes the credit never gets to where its supposed to go either because of the offerors website or because of programs we have running on our computers. And because the affiliate does not accept manual credit requests, the only thing we can do is wait a little longer for the credit to come through or try another offer. The general idea is to wait at least 7 days before worrying about the credit not coming through. Please understand also that we want you to get your credit and dont like hearing when someone didnt get credit because we dont get paid for the offers if the credit does not show up. We only get paid for offers that get credited. If you would like more information feel free to contact me on AOL messenger at superfinders. I will be glad to help. Brenda "

The Result

Basically, I wasted an hour of my time . I have emailed the site admin to inform her that her reply would be made public. I have also cancelled the trial memberships.

Since so many people are involved in these GPT sites, I had to review them for myself. I thought perhaps my experience would be different a year later. I am certain that the number of people who get ripped off dwarfs the number of people who claim to make any money with this scam. The ones who lose out just don't publicize it.

Legitimate jobs for WAHM

In my opinion, GPT is a scam and not worth the time or effort.
