Many bloggers are signing up with companies that promise to pay the blogger to advertise or post about a product/service. One of these new ones was Bloggerwave. I’m sure many bloggers have already signed up with them. I was one of them as well. I never did do any opportunities though because something just didn’t seem right with them and their website was just too messy to be a professional company.

Thank goodness for intuition. The reason I say this, is because just take a look at what happened to this trustworthy blogger. He got paid $10 for an opportunity he took but then PayPal reversed it. Why you ask? Just read this excerpt from his website.

I phoned PayPal at this point. I wanted my money and suspected that PayPal was just being a little dense. The representative at PayPal corrected my assumption. They indicated that the email address payment@bloggerwave.com had been connected fraudlently to either a credit card number or bank account that had not authorized the payment. Ergo, someone setup a paypal account and linked it to someone else’s bank account or credit card number. Or possibly, someone had hijacked an existing paypal account and added the email address payment@bloggerwave.com. Eitherway PayPal was sure that fraud was involved.

Bloggerwave paying bloggers with a stolen credit card? What kind of company would do such a thing. Obviously one that surely is a fraud itself. Just look at the comparisons to Bloggerwave and PayPerPost. It is pretty much a duplicate.

Here are some images that I compared from both websites. Click on them to make it bigger.

See what I mean? There are other similarities that you can check out yourself just by visiting both websites. Like I said, Bloggerwave just looks so fake that I’m not surprised PayPal reversed the payment. Just beware of all these fake websites, especially if you are using the same important passwords for other websites like PayPal or bank related.
