This program is one of hundreds on the internet which pay people to read email. They are currently 12 months behind in payouts and have deleted thousands of people's accounts who they owe money to. They are flagrantly exploiting members by making them hang on and stay active many months after the member has earned their money. They do not make enough money to pay members yet they keep the company online while they (admittedly) pocket upwards of $1,000 per week.
They deleted my account several months ago, owing me $227.90 because I confronted them about payouts at a forum which was not part of their program but which has to do with the "Get-Paid-To-Read" Industry. I had been waiting for payment for months when I went to log into my account one day and found it had been deleted. Their reason? Forum abuse. The "forum abuse" clause had been added many months after I had requested payout so even if I had of broken their Terms of Service, (which I did not), the debt should have been paid and then my account deleted. Also, using "forum abuse" as an excuse to delete members is in violation of contract law as it is much too subjective and one-sided.
The owner threatened to countersue me for speaking out about the fraudulent practices of the program owners.
I am currently seeking legal assistance because there is so much fraud and deception occuring in the industry by other program owners also, and I believe there may be valid evidence to support holding Hosting Companies and even Internet Service Providers accountable for perpetuating and allowing the fraud to continue even when they are well aware of the exploitation. Possible and probable crimes include:
Tax Evasion
Contract Law Infractions
Advertising Violations
Payment Processor Violations
Misappropriation of Funds
Embezzlement
Blackmail
Clickfraud
Ponzi Schemes
Auction Fraud (Shill Bidding, etc.)
Nonpayment of Money Owed
Threats $ Manipulation Tactics
Consumer Fraud
