The most annoying thing about paypal is that creating the default donate button allows your email address to be displayed. It is not a big deal when you are transferring money to or from people you know, but when you are asking for a donation from strangers, it allows people to get your email address.
Usually, the worst is just a minor annoyance. I have heard reports of people receiving an email from someone who pretended to want to help, but asked for more information, sometimes even bank information. Obviously that is a red flag. Never give out your bank information, or any other information. The site was created to allow people to donate to you, and they can even write on your page, so there is no reason for them to contact you directly. The best way to deal with this is to ignore the email.
You can avoid your email address being shared by using a paypal.me or cash.me link.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post them.
Welcome to FreeBeg.com. Below are instructions on how to request a donation.
Step 1
First, you need to have a way to receive payment. Here are three different ways to receive payment. They are not the only ways, but they are very common and secure. You only need to choose one of the following:
Create a paypal.me link
You can go to http://www.paypal.me to create a paypal.me link
Here is an example of a paypal.me link:
Create a "cashtag"
Another way to create a link that people can click and easily donate to you is called a cashtag. You can sign up for one at http://www.cash.me. Here is an example of a "cashtag":
Use a paypal account and create a donate button.
If you don't have a paypal account, you can sign up (it's free) at http://www.paypal.com
Here's a link that shows how to create a donate button. https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ge...ate-button
When you make your post on FreeBeg.com, you need to click on the 'View Source' icon, and paste the donate button code after your post.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
Step 2 If you haven't already registered, click the "Register" link near the top left of the site, under the FreeBeg logo. After you are logged into the forum, go to the "My Request for Help" board and click on the "Post Thread" button to create a post (also called a thread) in this section. See the screenshot below. Let others know why you are asking for a donation. Be safe, and don't include your home address or too much personal information. Some people choose to include the city and state they live in, and that's ok. At the end of the post, make sure to add your hosted button, paypal.me link or your "cashtag", so people can donate to you. If you include your city and state, you might find that there are people living near you who are willing to help out, or who can direct you to local resources, like clothing giveaways, or local charities that are offering assistance. Make sure to be cautious of people who ask you to click a link, or try to contact you outside of FreeBeg.com, and if you are posting for help, never send people money. Unfortunately, there are dishonest people in the world who may try to ask you to send them money, and promise to help you. If they want to help, they will send money using one of your payment methods. You don't have to pay them a deposit or any amount of money if they truly want to donate to you.
Step 3
Each post will be reviewed by a member at FreeBeg.com before it is published on the site. The reason for that is to try to keep the site from being filled up with a bunch of spam. We try to check in daily to review posts, but this step may take a day or two. After your post is published, it can be seen by anyone on the internet, and people can add to your thread, asking questions, or giving advice. Check back and reply to your thread.
Also check out the rest of the forum. There are sections for other ways to make money. Try some of them out. Add your comments on whether or not they worked for you. Tell us what else can be added to the site to help you. When you don't need to cyberbeg anymore, come back and support others that are in difficult situations.
