GetPaidTo.com - method and proof of payment

GetPaidTo paid me a lot of money over the years but now seems to have stopped. It may come back so I leave this page here for now.

However, the information below is typical of all GPT programs.

Ok, you have signed up for a few programs and you have earned a few points/dollars/prizes and would like to be paid, as in my case, into your PayPal account.

The governments of this world are trying hard to crack down on fraud and have asked honest websites to prove that the person they pay money to really is that person. One of the reasons for the verification process.

So after you claim your prize you will get this email from GetPaidTo (I have added *** to protect my personal details) :-

A Message from GetPaidTo.com
Hello *** *******
Your prize request for (Paypal Payment of $5.00 USD) has been put into pending call back status, until we place your account in the verified status. Due to the increasing amount of accounts with false information, or users with multiple accounts we are forced to have each account verified before a prize is processed. We MUST do this process to protect our sponsors from fraud.
Our Verification system is very easy to use. All you have to do to have your account verified is call our voice verification system at the below number, and when prompted enter the site number of :- *** ( this is the # you punch into your phone )
USA and CANADA - 1-888-680-****
UNITED KINGDOM - 020 7084 ****
Once you call you will be greeted with the information we require. Please be advised that you are calling a toll-free number thus you can't block caller id. You MUST call this number from the telephone number you provided to us in your profile in order for your account to be verified.
When leaving your information we require the following in the message:
Your Prize Verification Number of: ****
Your Full Name, First and Last
Your FULL Mailing Address which includes the city state and zip
Your FULL Telephone Number
Your GetPaidTo.com Username
You must have a valid First Name, Last Name, Address, and Phone Number in your profile in order for us to approve your prize request. Please login to your account and check your profile to ensure it has valid information before calling to have the account verified.
You only need to call in once.
Again your Verification Number is: ****.
All voicemails are handled within 24 hours. If your account is not verified within 24 hours, please call a second time and make sure you are calling from the phone number on file with us.
Thank you.

The voices are recorded so there is no one to actually talk to. Once you have spoken your information, hang up.

A day or so later you receive another email from GetPaidTo.com as follows :-

A Message from GetPaidTo.com
Dear *** ******,
Congratulations! Your account has been verified by our staff. You will no longer need to call our company to ship your prizes / process your requests unless your phone number or address changes in the future.

Good news and there is more to follow soon after :-
