No payment just to request a call
Submitting the request form does not require payment. The screening call comes first so we can talk through the situation, confirm authorization, and decide what kind of help makes sense.
Payment should feel boring and verifiable
You will not be asked to pay simply for submitting the form. Any recommended work and its cost will be discussed after the screening call.
Use normal payment rails
Payment links should come through a recognized payment provider or invoice workflow. Do not send gift cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfers, or unusual payment methods.
Verify the sender
If you receive a payment request that seems unexpected, rushed, or inconsistent with the prior first call, pause and verify before paying.
Card details stay with the payment provider
The public site should not collect card numbers directly. Card entry should happen on the hosted page of the payment provider.
