Solid Trust Pay will back in Zeek Rewards (Zeek Rewards Officials)


Tags: solid, trust, pay, disappeared, back, zeek, rewards, payment, earn, money, online

As most of zeek-rewards members know that they disabled the Solid Trust Pay payment processor. Initially, they were not responding to my inquiries regarding removal of Solid Trust Pay. But today, I have inquired them again through live support and they responded that their Solid Trust Pay account is having some problems, and they disabled it temporarily. They will enable Solid Trust Pay payment processor again after solving the problems.

Update: Zeek Rewards payment page also says "Solid Trust Pay will be available again shortly." Look at the screenshot below.

Solid Trust Pay disappeared from Zeek Rewards (Removed Solid Trust Pay)

Zeek Rewards removed Solid Trust Pay payment processor.
Solid Trusy Pay payment processor disappeared from Zeek Rewards. They have removed Soli Trust Pay, and their live support doesn't provide any reason about the removal of Solid Trust Pay. Now no-one can upgrade membership or purchase sample bids in Zeek Rewards through Solid Trust Pay. Do you think is it a move to become a scam for Zeek Rewards? For me, I think it is so... Please read the full detailed post by going to the below link.

Zeek Rewards Scam OR Will Turn into Scam soon?

I have joined Zeek Rewards one week ago (April 09, 2012). Yesterday (April 15, 2012) I have upgraded my account to Silver using Solid Trust Pay payment processor. Now today (April 16, 2012) I want to purchase sample bids using Solid Trust Pay payment process, but when I reach the final payment method page, there is no Solid Trust Pay option. The Solid Trust Pay payment processor (option) disappeared now. When I contacted the Live Customer Support and started chat with them, they didn't replied my inquiries properly and they didn't explained to me why they have removed the Solid Trust Pay payment processor. I have asked them again again but they don't reply me properly and just disconnect the chat by saying "Thanks for chatting with us."

So, If they are dealing with a customer like this, what can we hope from this company? I don't think this company will stay long, I have already joined a lot of affiliate companies and they disappeared. I will appreciate the comments of readers.

Thanks for reading and don't forget to leave your comments.

Upwork Cover Letter Guidelines (What to include OR exclude)

I have been working on oDesk for that last 5 months (from now i.e April 12, 2012) and got good ideas about oDesk cover letter guidelines. I'm not saying that I have learned everything, but I am just sharing my personal experience. I will not write the long stories, but will try to mention the important points only.

What should you include in Cover Letter?
  • Always write a unique cover letter for each job post.
  • Write each of your cover letter individually, targeting the specific needs or requirements per job post.
  • Always use the same keywords the employer did. This shows that you were paying attention to the job post.
  • Answer specific questions or include special keywords the employer put in the job description to prove you can follow directions well.
  • Provide links directly to some relevant examples of your work (if any). Make sure you've added the sample work in your portfolio.
  • Try to inform the employer about your availability (when and how much you can work).
  • Always find a gender-neutral way to say hello, say "Dear Hiring Manager" or use the employer's name (if they've mentioned it).
What should you exclude from Cover Letter?
  • Don't start with a "To Whom It May Concern" or "Dear Sir" greeting. Neither adds any value and they may even offend some employers.
  • Don't use one cover letter over and over again even if the job you are applying fall on the same category.
  • Aside from sending generic and irrelevant contents.
  • Cover letters should not contain any contact information (your email address, chat ID, etc.).
  • Exchange of contact information can be made during the interview phase only.
  • Don't start with a "To Whom It May Concern" or "Dear Sir" greeting.
Thanks for reading my post, and don't forget to see Odesk Cover Letter Sample. I'll appreciate you comments.

Upwork Warning: Spam Cover Letter Violation

A week ago, I had got a Spam Cover Letter warning from oDesk. The following was the ticket sent to me by odesk. Remember that if someone doesn't reply to this email warning within 24 hours, the oDesk suspends the contractor's account.

Thanks GOD, I had saw the message otherwise, oDesk might suspend my account. I had replied oDesk within 2 hours. The purpose of sharing this post is the inform you that never use the spam cover letter, and never copy and paste the same cover letter again and again. Write a unique cover letter with different skill (as required) for each job post.
