Xtremdata.com is a so called VTU website that gives users the opportunity to not only buy affordable data plans but also, earn money while at it. What does that mean? It means the website offers data purchase and bill payment option as well as some passive income sources via their referral program. However, upon closer analysis and from the testimonies of some users that have actually tried out the platform, I discovered it’s more of a fraud that one should steer clear of.
In this article, we will be having a detailed look at xtreme, a website that claims to be offering users affordable data plans and also, giving users the chance to earn money by referring others to “buy cheap data plans” — sounds really good right? The thought is more appealing than the reality and you will be finding out the truth about the situation. The reason why I decided to write this article is due to the growing popularity of xtremdata.com and the fact that, most people are falling prey to their antics.
About XtremeData
Xtreme is a data purchase and bill payment website that can be accessed via the url, xtremdata.com. As a VTU platform, you are given the access to buy airtime at discounted rates, data and funding betting accounts from the comfort of your home.
The most surprising thing about the site is the fact that, they are offering much affordable data to users. Something that has become increasingly problematic for most Internet users in Nigeria, given how difficult the economy is. Additionally, they also claim, all new users will receive 12gb data instantly after purchasing data worth at least 1,000 naira and above after sign up.
Discounts & Offers
Like I said in the beginning of this article, it’s more like a combination of an online earning platform and a bill payment service. In the sense that, users can buy data, airtime, fund betting accounts and still earn money by utilizing their referral program.
In order to make you understand the offers better, below is a breakdown of what they claim to offer users upon creating an account;
1. Registration Bonuses
Upon sign up, you are given free airtime and free 12gb data that can only be credited to your line after you have made the first purchase of data worth at least 1,000 naira and above. Meaning, you have the aforementioned bonuses already in the account but they will actualize after you have done a transaction.
2. More Data for Less Payment
This is another mouthwatering offer from Xtremedata that’s making most users promote and speak good of the platform even when they have not yet tested it out. Apart from the free data and airtime given to all users upon sign up, you also buy cheap data on the platform with 1,000 naira data plan giving as much as 7gb including the registration bonus.
If you have been active on the Internet in recent times, you would agree with me when I say that, data is a big deal. So imagine a platform giving you 12gb data plus a whooping 7gb data for just 1,000 naira? You can also check out some of their plans to understand what I’m talking about better.
3. Juicy Referral Program
To top the list of offers on xtremdata.com, users who refer others to sign up also earn 450 naira. Therefore, if you register and start promoting your link to other users, when they create an account, you get credited with the bonus and they also claim the earned referral reward can be withdrawn directly to one’s bank account.
Most people you see posting advertorials and enticing things about Xtremedata are doing so because they want to earn some money from the referral program. But, it’s one thing to promote something and it’s another for the platform administrators to keep to their end of the bargain.
Is Xtremdata.com Legit?
Xtremdata.com is not a legit site for data purchases. It’s a scam website created for the sole purpose of scamming unsuspecting individuals. The site was previously on a subdomain ending with “herokuapp.com” and recently they launched on a standalone domain name.
It’s a scam and if you should go ahead and deposit money with hopes of buying cheap data for the so called 12gb reward, the data will not drop and your money will be lost. There is no two ways about it — xtremedata is a verified scam data site that should be avoided like a plague.
In order for this cautionary article not to seem baseless, here are some of the key reasons to stay away from the site;
Unrealistic Discounts :-
If you check the data plan section, you will notice the unrealistic nature of their plans. The data plans were made intentionally cheap and seemingly affordable because all the individual behind the site is after is, your deposits. The plans are enticing enough for any ignorant or uninformed individual to fall prey.
Additionally, I checked out the airtime purchase section and also saw similar discounts. Imagine offering users 25,000 naira airtime for 20,000 naira? How realistic does it sound to you? In all my years of buying data and airtime from VTU and fintechs, I have never seen such a discount.
How can a new, unverified website be offering such huge discount? There’s a popular saying that if something seems to good to be true, it may not be true. So for your own good, stay away.
Apart from their so called tricky discounts, xtremdata also offers users free airtime and 12gb data upon sign up. Why not ask yourself how they will get all the bonuses? Whoever designed the site just deployed various tricks to deceive gullible users and I believe it’s working.
Unchecked Referral Program
This is another common way to spot a scam or spam platform claiming to pay money for referrals. If a site is paying out as much as 450 naira per referral, at least there should be a form of verification. On xtremdata.com, there is no email, phone number or even ID verification yet they claim users who refer others to just sign up” will be given 450 naira. How is that even going to be possible?
The only reason why the referral program is unchecked is due to the fact that they have no plans of paying anyone a dime.
No Social Media Presence
If you are the type of person who purchases airtime and data from VTU sites or third party Bill payments apps or platforms, you will agree with me when I say that, they usually have a social media presence. But in the case of xtremedata, there is no social media presence and there is no other way to reach customer support apart from their fake/inactive live chat on the website.
Yet another indication that its a total sham and there’s absolutely no point giving it a try as that would be outright waste of resources.
No Proof of Payment or Data Purchase
Xtremdata.com has been around for a long while now, yet there’s no single proof of data purchase on social media from any user in their name. There is also no proof of them paying any user money for referrals. Clearly reiterating the obvious — the fact that, xtremedata is not a legit website.
Application not on Play Store
The Xtreme data so called mobile application is not on any Credible application store. When I tried to download their app, I was promoted to save it using my browser, meaning the app is not on application store. Yet another reason to be very careful. Applications that are not on app stores are mostly fraudulent and also pose a risk to one’s device.
Conclusion
Xtremdata.com is a scam/spam website that should be avoided if you truly care about the money you have. There is no point in trying to confirm all we’ve discussed in this piece. It’s not coming from a place of assumption. Just endeavour to share it to friends and family as well to inform them of the dangers of spending a dime on it.
Thanks.
