Heads Up for the Filipinos!

This one pays! You can be paid be en-cashing their checks at BDO or any other local bank! I was thrilled when I got my check, and I waited 3 days for BDO to clear my check and credit my bank account! Try it and you won't regret anything at all!

Restricted Ciao Access

Hi guys, this explains what has been going on. It is the most recent announcement of Ciao to its members:

Restricted Access to Ciao
Dear members,

Due to the high level of abuse on the site including plagiarism, spamming of members, and revenge ratings, Ciao.com has decided to start restricting membership to certain countries. We have tried to avoid this outcome, but the number of violations has become too great. Although we realize not all members from the now-banned countries were responsible for these problems, and in fact there were many excellent members from these regions, we have found this to be the best and only remaining way to effectively manage the situation.

Members from these banned countries who are otherwise in good standing will still receive any money owed to them. If they have yet to make a payment request, they can contact us at info@ciao.com and we will make the request for them.

We will continue to delete plagiarized and abusive content from the site; please send us abuse reports if you find evidence of a violation of our Terms and Conditions.

Thank you.

– The Ciao Community Team

This has been very unfortunate for those very honest members of the community. =(

oDesk WebMail

oDesk is no longer providing its members with a free webmail, and the previous access to the site is no longer working. However, oDesk still uses the mail they provide you during registration as their payment email.

How exactly does this work? It is quite simple. any email that is sent to your oDesk email address will be sent automatically to your registered email address. When I linked my Paypal account to my oDesk mail, the confirmation message was sent directly to my gmail address.

You may still use this address for future transactions, and it is highly recommended since it will provde you with protection and privacy as oDesk servers are very secure.

AW Surveys Is A SCAM

Honestly, I have completely no idea why people keep on advertising this site despite all the warnings all over the web. From my point of view, people should do real research before joining anything that says, "you get rich quick so join us here."

I personally tried it out, just to check if the rumors are really true. And indeed I found out that they only give out surveys on the day you joined, then you have to earn everything thru referrals. And when you do make it up to the high payout, they cancel your account to avoid losing their precious scam cash.

So do yourself a favor and stay out of it, if people say they got paid with it, they're just lying to get you under their wings.
