Hey guys, while browsing the internets, I came across an amazing site, and I'm surprised I didn't know about it sooner. It's called SWATCash. It is NOT a scam either, it looks to be the most polished GPT (Get Paid To...) site like this out there.
I'll explain, just incase you guys are skeptical, which you probably are. Once you sign up to the site, you complete surveys and stay on specific websites for periods of time. You also participate in contests (for PS3's, games, and more), and various "video-game" like elements around the site (Missions, Battles, etc). It reminds me of an army game, because depending on how well you are doing on the site, you'll level up and become more important in the community. Eventually, all this stuff leads to a "payout", if you will, where the staff will send you a cheque, or send you money through Paypal, for all the hard work you have done. Its 100% legitimate, I've already made $5.00!
It's got a friendly community, an excellent support staff, a cool "trademark" site look, and an awesome military catch to it. Overall, it's a fun place to be associated with, and an awesome way to make a little extra cash with the spare time I spend on the net.
At first I thought SWATCash was a joke. The more FAQ's and forum posts I read, the more apparent it became that this site is real, and people are making real money from it.
Paypal/Other Account Needed?
No, you do not need a paypal/money transfer account. If you have one, that is a way you can accept the money, but otherwise you will receive a cheque via the address you used to sign up. Then you must take the PIN number from that cheque and input it to a verification box on the site, so it verifies you as a real (and not fraudulent) member. You also have to answer a verification phonecall (usinf the phone # you sumbitted to sign up). The phonecall is not by a person, you activate it on the site and a machine calls you with your unique PIN.
But enough ramblings. You do not NEED a paypal/other account.
Costing To Start?
Nope. Nothing at all. 100% free. See http://www.swatcash.com/faqs.php for more info.
Limits On Cash?
No limit. I've seen people of the general rank, who have been on since the beginning, with $4000+ earnings. There is basically a contest every day for more money and prizes as well.
Theft/Fraud?
These guys have a strict Terms Of Use and Privacy Policy. I read it and it checks out. Not a scam, its legit, and airtight. Your info isn't going anywhere.
So that's it, really. If you're interested in signing up, check out http://www.swatcash.com/Swamp7hing.
(I get recruitment points, and you get bonus starting cash! ;D)

Urrg. I've used things like this before, and they are extremely addicting. I would skip doing homework just to click on advertisements and "earn" one cent.
-
This is more then that lol. Its actually fun, like playing Call of Duty or something. I can't describe it more then I did above. Great way to pass the time, when you're done your homework, of course.
-
REALLY FREE MONEY FOR PLAYING GAMES YEEEEESSSSS!
ugh, no....just no.
-
lol, alright just sharing the news.
-
But I don't get it, how does the company make money in return?
-
When you click certain advertisements and take surveys the web page owner hosting them gets money from the company that is being advertised.
If makes it so you get money and that web page owner does too. They draw players together with the promise of money and games and the combo of both with advertisements mixed gets the website owner paid lots and also the players. It's a Win-Win situation. Genius.
-Gandolf
-
hmm... I looked at it, but I don't know... Maybe if we all join and make a GMG alliance.
-
Its fun too. There's this section called "World Map", and it's like a Risk-Style turn based RPG where you can win SwatPoints, which can be used to purchase new equipment from the armory (which in turn increase your points) or converted to real cash. You can create clans and battle it out. There's literally a contest every day for some sort of prize, be it money, a game console, gift cards, and more. Totally worth signing up for those.
-
Double Post, but I created an alliance called "Team Infinity". Sign up (using my link pweez :)) and we'll rock the socks off that southern continent, making small amounts of money in the process.
-
Final, tripple post. Incase you guys are still non-believers, check this thread out.

K swamp, if you get Gan. to join I will as well.
-
I promise that I'll check it out this weekend.
-
Wow. Thats kinda... sorta... very different. (The testimonies are amazing)
I've never seen something like this before and am a bit hesitant. Does it need paypal or any other account? Cost money to start? A limit on how much cash you can get? Any reports of thievery? Identity fraud/abuse?
If everything checks out all in the clear, I might join. Though I won't use any of my money accounts. Is it possible that if(Big If) I sign up that I can re-route all the cash I earn into your account Swamp?
-Gandolf
P.S. Also giving your phone # and address kind of makes me worry. Is it worth my while, safe?
-
I'll go over all your points.
Paypal/Other Account
No, you do not need a paypal/money transfer account. If you have one, that is a way you can accept the money, but otherwise you will receive a cheque via the address you used to sign up. Then you must take the PIN number from that cheque and input it to a verification box on the site, so it verifies you as a real (and not fraudulent) member.

Sadly Gan, I'm taking cheques. So I'm afraid rerouting into a cheque isn't possible, let alone efficient. Lol, I'd be splitting it and sending the money to you!
But yeah, sign up. Its totally worth it, totally fun, and a great way to get some extra cash. Please use my referral link though:
http://www.swatcash.com/Swamp7hing
Extra stuff for us both. If you have any more questions, feel free to post here and I'll get back to you ASAP.
P.S Those are used to send cheques, and verify that you are infact a real person. Nothing more.
-
So, just wondering, could I stick in your address to receive all the checks of money that I make? I'd rather be safe than sorry. (Or is that against the rules?)
-Gandolf
-
Sorry man, that's more trouble then it's worth. You need to receive your cheque at your home address to verify your identity as a user. The only way to do that is to use real information. If you used my address and your name, that would be fraud and we would both be banned :\\
They are trustworthy, but if your still concerned, read the privacy policy. Its all good.
P.S My answers seem to be answering your edits! Strange.
-
Alright, thanks. I will look into it, there's a 50-50 chance I might join.
-Gandolf(I have the forum all filled out, just have to click the magic button...)
-
No problem. You used/are using my link, right? lol :D (refferral bonuses! yay!)
Take your time.
-
My questions:
1. What is an offer?
2. How do you complete one?
3. What the payout of an offer?
-
1. An offer is a survey. Answer questions.
2. You fill in the blanks, and answer the questions. Simple lol. Sometimes you just need to put in an email address. Create a second email (gmail is reccomended) for that and your good to go.
3. Payout depends on the offer. Usually its 50 cents (half a dollar) to $1.00.
-
hmm maybe there is very little bad feedback because those participating get robbed and killed. (Ya I am a little Skeptical) When something seems too good to be true it usually is.

Thats what I'm thinking...

Well, it works, and as I said before, I was just sharing the news. Are you thinking about signing up Silver? They have plenty of UK surveys and prizes can be shipped universally. You can join my alliance and together we can conquer the world map!
-
Then again how do we know they haven't already got Swamp and taken all his passwords and are hacking his account. Maybe Swamp isn't Swamp. (Ya I am totally Paranoid.)
-
:|
Seriously?
Spammage of 07'
Magic Eye Gouger
QOTM
I'm swamp lol. And I'm trying to recommend something cool to you guys.
BTW the GMG isn't the most well known site ever. How would they get my password? They could only have my one site password, and there is no way to get my other.
-

I doubt I'd set aside much time to play it, but if I do join I'll definitely team up with you. :)

Oh no they have a brain reading machine and they extracted all of swamp's memories out of his head. NOOOO!!! (Yes I am completely and utterly CRAZY)
-
lol! Cool silver, think it over. :D
-
If silver or gandolf Join I will as well.
-
What if they are thinking the same thing! lol then no one will join! ;D
-
swamp send me a copy of an offer, so I can see what they usually ask in them.
-
lol sure, just don't fill it out because if you do you won't be eligible for the offer once (if) you sign up.

Nvm I took a pic. lol. Its really that simple.
-
What if they are thinking the same thing! lol then no one will join! ;D
Nah, I'm thinking: "ROFL N00B! Sophitia PWNS Cervantes' 2B+K on wakeup with 236AA EVERYTIME!!!"
And yes, I'm playing SCIV. And no, I didn't scream it like my syntax would imply.
-
LOL QOTM! I'm just looking for people to join my alliance and get some free cash while theyre at it. :P
-
Hmm...I don;t know, sites like that have a lot of keyloggers and stuff. So I sat Nay.
-
Keyloggers? for an email you put in? that you are giving to them anyway? lol I created a special separate email account. Its all good.
Whatever, everyone to their own opinion. Thats just one offer, I normally just do PTC (pay to click) and the occasional offer for a little extra, if it looks good.
-
I just don trust any site with demented smilies.
-
I really want to but... I think I will lure one of my friends into this (Maybe trap) Swatcash thing. He will join on your link Swamp.
-Gandolf
-
Smart Gandolf if you friend lives it might be safe.
-
And the tireas dragon spoke, leaving a dreadful silence to envelope the room when it had finished. None saw until too late the mechanical mummy which dragged its rotting carcass of bolts and bandages ever nearer the band of debaters...
Anywhoo, I'll join Swamp, just to prove your claim.
-

That's an offer. Offers are completed on other companies sites. You can join just for the contests and do Pay To Click, and still make some dough. Only do offers that look good and ones that you are genuinely interested in.
Thanks Gan, appreciated. :D

You will? YAY! Now I can leave my temporary alliance and create the "GMG Do-Gooders" or something along those lines. Maybe more... violent. lol

I got as far as the last field in the form before closing the window and returning to REALbasic. I didn't realize that your phone number was mandatory. I wouldn't mind in the least if I actually intended to use the site, but seeing as how I was only gonna register to prove my point it would be a needless disclosure of PI. The point is that I would register if I was gonna use it though.
-
I shall explain again.
These people will NEVER call you. EVER. It's garunteed. What they do use your number for, is a little thing I like to call verification. (To make sure you are a real person, and not a scam artist/have a fraudulent identity).
What happens is, once you sign up, after 24 hours (methinks) a button appears on your profile page called "Phone Verification". You click that button, and an automated machine calls you. Answer the phone, and the machine will tell you a PIN Number. Once it's done (write that code down) a box will appear and will request you put that unique PIN number in there. Once you do that, you are verified as a registered member, and can freely receive checks/cheques.
It is only used for verification purposes. Nothing more. And no actual person will call you, you trigger the call yourself.
Get it? :D
P.S I spend about 30 mins - I hr on the site, completing PTC (Pay to Click) offers, and hanging on the forums entering daily contests. I also explore the world map and play the game, and so far I've won some pretty cool items. It's a great way to spend any free time, and make a little extra cash on the side. I'm pretty sure you'll use it. :)
-
Whoa, you actually won some items? What kind of items?
-Gandolf
-
They're giving away a ton of stuff, like Nintendo DS Lites, TV's, and more. I didn't win any of those, but I found some SwatCash (Like site points you can use to redeem prizes in the armory section of the site), A handgun (Raises your attack points in battle), some real money (Like, $2, just randomly), raffle tickets, and more. Its fun, I've only been signed up for 2 days and already I'm getting free stuff! :D
-
But yeah silver see the top post of this page and you'll understand :D
-
So, anybody think about it yet?
-
I did. As I said, I've nothing against the registration process at all, (indeed, it seems simpler than most online stuff nowadays) but because I'm not actually planning to use the site I'm not going to submit personal information.
If I get the hankerin' to use it though, I'll sign up straight away. :)

Okay, I was confused by what you meant before :P
That clears it up! :D
Glad to hear it Silver. So technically considering Silver is ok with the signup, anyone else willing to give it a shot?
-
Wow, the more I'm on the site the more I'm liking it. Im working on the world map, getting grenades and points. I just got word of an outpost on another continent with half price raffle tickets, cheap exp, and ammunition so I think I'll find a raft and head over there now to pick it up with my remaining BP.
:D
-
what is this outpost you speak of?
-
Like a store, but with massive discounts. Hard to find, but I learned of one through another member. Outposts change position every day, and there are only 6 of them in the world.
