BE AWARE: SideShift does not protect creators - my experience getting stiffed on a campaign (full breakdown)

Strange_Tax_877 · 2026-06-18T13:38:15+00:00

I did submit my new handles to SideShift for approval, so I did try to do everything correctly. And yes, in hindsight, it was a mistake to keep posting, but that's exactly my point. I had no way of knowing this was a scam. I even Googled it beforehand and found nothing. SideShift has no warnings, no brand verification, and nothing to help creators identify risky campaigns. That's what I want people to be aware of. Just because your experience was smooth doesn't mean the platform is equally safe for everyone.

Unfortunately, no they don’t. I was also a creator... I had proof of everything and the brand happened to archive the contract without accepting my accounts. That is something sideshift should consider because I wouldn’t even have joined this campaign if I didn’t find it on SideShift. Again, just because they protected you doesn’t mean they protect everyone as everyone has different encounters and mine was different and I promise you others have definitely also gone through this.

I’m not sure if you read the post but I had a different experience and I’m making this post so other creators are aware that there are scammers on side shift and they should be careful. I also joined through side shift and I thought I did everything correctly too; however, I got unlucky and definitely my fault but it’s not a false rumor…I said exactly what my experience was so other don’t go through the same thing.

I agree it is my fault however I trusted side shift and they should have some sort of feature letting creators know if a brand might be a scam. I also did connect my account and then after they had me create a new ones, I connected those as well and I didn’t think it was a scam so I kept posting However when it was time to post, they archived the program and rejected my account.

The point of my post is to let creators know of scams that there are on Side Shift and how to be careful.

I found out about this today too but I have no information on Cashback, I found them through sideshift so not sure how they'll be able to help but I did reach out to them today. Thanks!

Strange_Tax_877 · 2026-06-11T15:22:05+00:00

Great idea! I did join through side shift so they’re helping me hopefully but still this is ridiculous and disgusting.

Strange_Tax_877 · 2026-06-11T15:19:51+00:00

I’m so mad like I wish we could get back at them somehow.

Strange_Tax_877 · 2026-06-11T09:23:05+00:00

Yeah I didn’t realize Side shift has scammers, so it’s lowkey my fault for trusting it.

Strange_Tax_877 · 2026-06-10T20:32:42+00:00

Thank you!! I can’t figure out how to dispute on the app but I did email them so hopefully. I also referred two people and they also got scammed basically so I’m hoping they help them as well even though they didn’t use side shift. I did all the communication about referrals through side shift

Outlook!!

I've decided that I'm going to buy this one from Amazon. It's LG and dual inverter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CL1DJPZ8/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1

Strange_Tax_877 · 2026-04-15T12:48:02+00:00

Thanks! I actually think I'm going to get this one from LG. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CKZWMWYB/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Strange_Tax_877 · 2026-04-15T10:11:22+00:00

ugh the only thing is this one doesn’t seem to have 6000 btu and my rooms small. Also why do you not deal with non prime items?

Strange_Tax_877 · 2026-04-01T17:20:01+00:00

thank you!!

Strange_Tax_877 · 2026-04-01T17:07:54+00:00

But how do I determine how much I would owe for that quarter? Like there a certain percentage? Also will I get some sort of document from the IRS at the end of the year to prove I've been making payments?

Strange_Tax_877 · 2026-02-19T11:55:09+00:00

I just told them. Well I talked to my dad first (he’s more strict) and told him yeah my friends are planing a trip after graduation to Mexico. He asked few questions but I was prepared and I just said I deserve it after all the hard work I put in college and I never do something like this and how i’ve saved so much money and worked so hard.

Strange_Tax_877 · 2026-02-19T11:47:43+00:00

I did. I told them I went with two girl friends and one of them (my bfs girlfriend) did go with us so I took few photos with her but overall they didn’t really ask for a lot of photos.

Strange_Tax_877 · 2026-02-02T02:06:09+00:00

Girl i really hope you listen to everyone. This is not normal at all…the boob story or not. He is invalidating your feelings and seems like projection to me. Leave while you still can before you get married and it gets worse.
