Texting Factory, the catfish

Picture
This work from home "job" masquerades as a chat operator / chatting job where you get to chat to various people in an adult, fantasy based chatroom. What Google don't tell you is the following:

-As a chat operator / catfisher, you can never reveal your location or agree to meet with anyone you are texting.
-You cannot accept gifts, exchange numbers or emails with "targets". 
-People who you chat to are called "targets."
-Each message you send is from a different fake profile. 
-Content is extremely mature and pornographic. 
-You are expected to compliment dick pics.  
-Your whole goal is to get targets to spend money on credits so they can keep using the chat service. 
-They WILL spam your email inbox!
-Texting Factory is not a gathering place for nice people. 
-The "instant hire" and Skype training should be MAJOR red flags for you!

Hidden Fees:
- Payment is made in Euro, and can be done through direct deposit, however the direct deposit route has a minimum payment threshold of 120 Euros and 20 Euros will be deducted for "bank charges". 
-To meet payment threshold you need to send well over a 1000 messages a week! 

Overall impression:
I managed to stay at Texting Factory for three weeks and I never made it to payment threshold. The whole experience was unpleasant, derogatory and just reminded me how many perverts and scams there are in the world.

  NeoBux, get paid fractions of a cent to click on ads Sign up to NeoBux with this referral  Many pay-to-click ad websites come with terms and conditions or a version of “Swagbucks” which coaxes users into accumulating worthless points. NeoBux does not use a point system and it has a low payment threshold ($2). Payment is through PayPal.  https://www.neobux.com/?r=GiuliaSperanza In a fresh change of pace this site allows “rented referrals”. Rented referrals can be bought using your main balance.

The ads are plentiful and updates multiple times a day with short viewing times (30 seconds being the longest). The performance of rented referrals are monitored and you have the option to purchase more referrals after a certain amount of time. Apart from the referrals, both direc...
