Hi mylotters. I want to share with you my short story with Ciao. When I first time registered Ciao they used to pay 1$ per review. In november I requested first payment which was 87.75$ from them and started waiting. After some days I learned that PayPal allows me only spending money in internet, but not receiving payments. They are not allowing to receive payments to anyone in my country. My verified PayPal account with attached credit card is only for online buying, they said me. I was shocked because I had money in some other sites too. I started to contacting PayPal and learned that even if Ciao sends me money I would not see that in my balance, it will remain 0 (zero)! I was shocked again and started to find a way to cancel my payment request from Ciao in order not to loose that money.
I wrote them many times for 10 days asking them to cancel my payment request and return my money in my Ciao balance (of course I explained them everything in details). In the end after 2 weeks they did it, they canceled my payment request. But what??! Except returning 87.75$ they additionally put in my Ciao balance money, around 90$. I mean they made a mistake and gave me more 90$ (approximately). At first I hesitated what to do, but my heart told me to do right thing. I wrote them 2 times and they answered me and told me thanks for being honest. That money stayed in my Ciao balance for some days and then they cut it back. They send me an email thanking me for being honest.
After reporting them their mistake I felt myself better, because I would think that I have money which I do not deserve. I could not tell them it and one day I could cashout to somebody`s PayPal who is allowed to receive payment and ask him/her send me that money but I didnt, thanks God that he didnt allow me doing wrong thing.
I feel myself psychologically happy. And I feel even better to share it here in mylot. Happy Mylotting.
PS: I am attaching a screenshot which shows my Ciao balance after they made mistake. In the screenshot you will see that I have 191.54$ with 80 reviews which is impossible. I used this screenshot to show Ciao that they gave me more money by mistake.

good to hear your story buddy.I was touched by your good heart.yah,i certainly agree with that it is more a good feeling of self worth if you do things honestly.how about if you request a check from ciao regarding your earnings since paypal is not allowed in your country.have you tried that before?
