Is this safe? Mobile gaming cash payment

Normally I'm pretty good at this sort of thing but I'm just not sure!

Was recommended a game by a friend--she swears she made hundreds in just a few minutes. I've downloaded it and "earned" almost £800! It wants to pay out via PayPal but I'm so wary - I don't want to get scammed!

The reviews seem mostly positive but my gut is screaming at me that it's too good to be true!

Of course it's too good to be true - they'll never pay you

I recently had a payout from "Cash Em' All" but the highest you could claim on there was £11.61. I had enough after just under a month and got €7.11 (£5.75) Better than nothing though.

I would be wary because that kind of money seems extravagant.

If it's legit, I'll be downloading it faster than you can blink!

Thanks for backing up what my sensible brain is saying!

I'm going to open a new PayPal account and see what happens. Not expecting cash but I'll let you know 😂

I have a Pay Pal account and have had it for years to be honest with you and had no problems.
If it’s a genuine PP account then it’s extremely safe and you have nothing to worry about as you are fully covered and insured .

It's more I'm nervous about giving a random game that's promising me a lot of money my PayPal details.

Currently up to £1400 now!

(absolutely not expecting to get that, but the game's fun and I can't sleep!)

@WanderWomble
if you post your bank details and it’s a scam as in fraud then your bank will reimburse you?

NewBootsAndRanty · 31/07/2022 02:38

Isn't your paypal info just an email address?

I don't want to use my real PayPal account because my main bank account and real card are on there. Basically trying to keep an air gap between the potential (😂) payment and my actual bank details.

I very much doubt I'll ever see a penny but I'm interested now!

That's the the same game though, is it?

QuestionableMouse · 31/07/2022 12:29

That's not the same game. Sorry, typo!
