Hello friends, most of us work hard in different ptc sites and earn money cent by cent and then if some scam site takes away this money, we are really hurt.......
This is what happened with me. I wanted to invest $10.00 in JSS-Tripler site, but they don't accept paypal, only Alertpay and some other which I don't have. So I made search here on mylot to find out ways to transfer some money from paypal to Alertpay and I came across a discussion in which someone suggested that Duggit.info is one of the easiest and trustful way to transfer money. I believed it and added 10 dollars to duggit fund, but it always said that since this is your first time you have to add 20 dollars to funds......so like a fool, I added another 10 dollars.
And now I waited and waited every day I would log into duggit.info and nothing would happen and one morning I was shocked when I got the page saying Account Suspended.I had lost full hope and knew that my hasty nature has once again caused me a loss. Then suddenly I got an idea to file a dispute with the help of Paypal and that is what I did as there was no harm in trying.....and to my surprise after 10 days I got back my $10/- and after fifteen days another $10/- and they did not even charge me any fees. I thanked them and decided to share this here on mylot as someone may need help. For me Paypal now is the most trustful site.

This is wonderful to hear, especially for your money that you worked so hard for! It's true - we build up our income penny by penny sometimes on the internet - and to put our trust in a system and have it backfire can make one want to quit. I've used paypal for years without problems and do my best to assure people it is one hundred percent safe and secure - but I think you just topped me!

I still think you did, because you have proof positive in the reputable workings of paypal! Of course, in all my years dealing with them, by virtue of the fact that I never had a problem, that is good, too.
I had never deal with Alertpay before, but Microworkers dropped paypal and I had no choice if I wanted to withdraw the money I had. After careful consideration, I decided to stop participating in Microworkers for a number of reasons - the big one being all the money they keep just to process your cash out. The first time I withdrew from there I withdrew fifty dollars - it should have been more, but they kept their five percent for a paypal withdrawal. With paypal gone, it was, I believe, six and a half percent for moneybookers or alertpay. That is really unfair as we work for that money, and if they had verified accounts there should be no processing fees involved - especially at those rates! I had over 22.77 left, but that was the amount I could withdraw after fees were deducted. so I opened an Alertpay account and withdrew the money. I got the notifications from alertpay that I had money in my account, so I went to see how I could then get my money from alert pay. The cost for transferring it to my bank was enormous! I would have been left with just over ten dollars! A check was free. I opted for a check. I was really surprised to get it in less than a week. So now I need to make sure the check is legit....lol...I'm depositing it today and I won't touch it until it's totallyh cleared. Even if all goes smoothly, with these enormous fees, I'm quitting Microworkers.

Apsara, it is good to hear that Paypal had manged to helps you saved back your $20 from being scammed by that site. Indeed you are a lucky person. One of my friends ever filed a dispute but unable to get back her money because the seller had already cleared her account. It is always better to be careful before you do any online transaction. I do likes to use Paypal for my online transaction since they started this dispute system. Indeed, we are more protected now against scam.

Hello myfb2009
Paypal do try their best to give full service to their clients, but you know there is always some exceptions. Your friends case was one of the exception....may be he did not file the dispute within 45 days..whatever.......I think today paypal is most trustful online account.Thanks for your reply.

I do agree to you. The impression of Paypal to me is very good.
In my personal experience, I used Paypal to subscribe my website hosting for a year.
When my subscription was almost expired, the hosting company urged me to renew it. But, I had no intention to do so and I ignored all of the email reminders from this company.
Suddenly, I received few emails from this company saying the Paypal did not want to disclose my credit card information to renew my subscription automatically. I were urged to forward all of my credit card information to them or to request the Paypal to allow for the transaction.
After checking my account information, I realized that I never asked for the automatic renewal feature an d luckily I were using the Paypal for this subscription.
When I were asked for account verification purposes, I were willing to disclose my credit card information to deposit some money into my Paypal account because I trusted it very much.
Hopefully, this Paypal will maintain it's good name forever.

hello aeiou78, I think you should not worry. Paypal will never give out any personal information without asking you. Everyone who has to verify paypal account have no choice but to give their true details and so far it is safe as I never heard anyone complaining about paypal deceiving them.Thanks for your reply.

Wow , what paypal did for you is very good from them because they didn't have to help you out. It's like you send money to someone and he scams you , paypal has nothing to do with it. Maybe that scam site had an account on paypal too ?
I really like paypal , I actually transferred money from it to my real bank account and it was one or two years ago. Paypal is really trustfull and work with many other websites. No wonder paypal won't work with HYIP sites , those become scams as soon as people stop investing money on them.

hello stringer321.......You are right........Paypay does not earn anything from helping us, yet it does help, this is really very respectable about Paypal. I was surprised when I got back my money, because I had totally lost hope.....I did not know they could bring so much happiness to me.....infact if they would have asked fees of 5 dollars, I would had paid them gladly........Thanks for your reply.

That's great. There are so many different websites for making money and transferring money that it's hard to know which ones are scams.

I am so glad to hear that finally your money is back to your Paypal account. Although sometimes I will hear some people complain about Paypal, but I still think that this is a trustworthy payment method. Some people who were cheated and they didn't fight for it after that. Perhaps they think the money is not that much and it is troublesome to get it back. It is wrong. Your story reminded me the similar experience before. At that time I wanted to transfer money from my Alertpay account to Paypal account and then I found someone online to deal with it. Since I waited and he didn't do anything after getting my money. He even deleted me from his chatting software. So I realized that I was cheated. I was hurt and felt so disappointed. At that time I thought even if it might not able for me to get back my money, but at least I had to try. So I wrote to Alertpay about this case. And as well as your case, finally I got back my money. I hope Paypal and Alertpay will ban this kind of cheating accounts after that.
I love China

Oh that is very nice to hear that Alertpay helped you to get back your money. You should tell everybody about it as I said....it helps people in making decision. I am happy you got your money back and I am sure your friend is ashamed of himself even today and will never cheat anyone in future.

Generally when you file a claim, if the claim is ligit, you will recieve a refund. But, now you know that unknown thrid-party sites aren't to be trusted. I've been with pay pal for years. And, while more and more sites consider other sites to be more secure, and paypal has gotten a bad wrap, I don't believe it. I've never had a problem with them.

Paypal is the online online payment transaction that I can rely and trust rather than other site. Easy to learn and understand. I don't use others since paypal is the online one who provide transferring service direct to your bank account. I don't have any problem with paypal so I will continue and stay using it for now.(^^)

Some people are claiming things against paypal. However, I am so satisfied with Paypal. I like how they manage things, and this is the reason why I really do not mind its high charges. After all, we really have to pay for the security it provides.

hello apsara...
Wow it was an expensive experience. I am glad you got your money back, paypal is so cool :D. Be careful next time in using your balance, it is better to create alertpay and try to earn for alertpay itself so it will be more save for your paypal. There are some sites that pay through alertpay. Happy mylotting.

Indeed, paypal really takes a mile in helping their clients. That's their one way of thanking and encouraging us more to trust them.
They are indeed equipped with people who knows the various means in order to retrieve the money of their clients.

Paypal is definitely my favorite way to deal with money online. I hear so many complaints that Paypal unfairly limits people's accounts, I hope that never happens with me but I do worry sometimes. I heard for no reason they just limit you sometimes. I have had no problems in the few years I have been using it. I just used Alertpay for the first time a week or so ago and I didn't like it very much, they took away a lot more money than Paypal does.

NO JSS is not scam so far. They now give loan of ten dollars for the starters. That is what I have done.......taken loan of 10 dollar from them and already my commission as per 2% is $5 dollars....so far I don't have to lose anything.....so lets see.......
