Ciao and bank account?

hi vamp,

not sure if u received payment in paypal.. in india they pay via indiatimes coupons and not in the acount too.. not sure when they asked about the bank account number.. i never recived such mail.. take care and have a look if it is not a scam...

Hi, I guess you are talking about the UK site of ciao. Yes they have stopped paying by paypal now. Although I was member of the US site and earned a decent amount there, but even after having the region restriction, they have paid me my last amount and not only to me but all of its members. This proves that it is a very genuine site and it wants to share its revenue with its members. So may be because of some security constraint or to avoid duplicate account, they have started paying by bank account directly. I don't feel any harm, but still if you want to be cautious, you can open a new account for your online earnings, and use it for online purpose only. Just my views.

I think you will be safe to give them your bank account information. It is up to you though. They are a trusted site and run by trusted administators. I would write to them and ask them if there is any way they could still pay you through Paypal first though.
