So I have noticed Deal Barbie Pays has repeated offers. Meaning the same offer is listed under different names in different sections of the available offers lists. Quite possibly on accident. I do know a site use to do this awhile back to trick thier members into doing offers in order to make money and then accuse the members of fraud. Sure the site owner takes a hit from the advertiser when their members "fraud" but more then less by promising to ban the member the advertisers tend to be forgiving when this happens..as long as it is not extremely frequent. Face it, less GPTs mean less money for incent advertisers. One bad habit site owners have is thier contests. One in particular is whomeever does the most offers in set amount of time gets some type of bonus..perhaps extra money in thier earnings. Members will many times do all the offers that are available and undoubtly there are so many offers that doing the same one twice happens. It just does. Especially when owners have the SAME offer labeled differently. Members do not have photogenic memories and doing offer after offer they tend to all look the same after awhile. Its a rat race truthfully. Most members also do not have the time to record every single offer they have done. I do know one time a long time back I was on a site that is no longer active. The owner seemed okay and I was newer to the GPT thing. I did the offers available in the new offers list daily and after a month I had well over one hundred dollars to cash out. I was excited because it was near christmas and I had a great gift planned for my nephew. I was laid off at this time so the extra money was going to help in many ways. I log on one day and cash out my earnings and wait. The money didn't reach my account and after a day I went to log back into the site to be told I was banned. I contacted the owner and she told me that I had committed fraud. Fraud? I asked her to explain and she told me I had did several offers twice on her site. How was that possible? Why was that solely my fault. I was pissed and I wanted to take this further. She gave me the contact information to the advertiser and him and I exchanged information. He told me that it was not my fault that the offers were duplicated if they were not being kept in my completed folder and instead were being recycled or if the owner had the same offer twice from different advertisers. He however could not make her give me my earnings as it was her site and he offered me apologizes for my wasted time. That was it! Pay attention and don't get screwed. GPTBoycott use to be a great place to keep up with shady owners but some time back it tanked. If you have information on a shady owner contact the BBB or comment on this blog but do make sure to let others know.
