hits4pay.com wants my tax information, and this means giving out my social security number. I don't feel comfortable with this. Can anyone who has been at hits4pay and been paid help me to understand and assureme that I am safe? Thanks all!

The only reason they ask for that is so if you make more than $600 a year they will send you a 1099 for you to file with your income taxes. I am earning money with them everyday. I did research them thouroughly before i even signed up with them. They are one of the very few legitimate sites oout there. hope this helps. Thanks.

There are sites that like to abide by the rules of uncle same and will send you a 1099 form at the end of the year for tax filing. I have been paid by hits4pay and on my way to the second pay. I am well pleased with them. Hope this helps. cdwilkins

I can understand your concern in today's world. The only reason they want your tax info is so they can send you a 1099 if you earn alot of money with them each year. Most sites don't send one until you get paid over $600 in the same year. I have received a payout at Hits4Pay and haven't had any problems with the information being used for anything other than what they say it's used for. ps. You know you don't have to enter this information until you get closer to the $25 minimum, but it does have to be entered if you want to receive your payout.

I saw that as well. With so many other ways and sites to earn it was really a turn off. On one hand it makes them seem like a more legitimate site or business because they are keeping records, on the other hand I do not want to start giving out that sort of information on the net as I have read to many stories of these sites being hacked. While they might not do anything wrong if hackers know they are requiring this info to me it seems like they would be targeted more. Just my opinion.
