RichMails is a total scam and should be shut down. They will not reply to emails and will not pay the money owed. They state on one side that the referral payments wont be assessed until the referral cash out and then on another web page they say that your earnings are totally independent from your referrals. I had a total of 17 referrals plus the $100 signup bonus and $6 in Paid Emails, which totals $531 owing to me. There website is located at http://www.richmails.com, you can also review the GPTBoycott Discussion Forum at http://www.gptboycott.com/programs/programs.php? Program=Richmails for other complaints from people.

Payments:
Members will earn $100 as a signup bonus, after confirming their registration. Members may earn by referring new members to the RichMails program. Members will earn $25 per each of their direct referrals, $25 per each of their indirect referrals, $25 per each of their 3rd level referrals. The referral payment will be assessed when the referrals reach the minimum payment requested and cash out. RichMails will pay members when their balance reaches $350.00 and they request payment. There is a $3 processing fee for checks, no fee for PayPal or e-gold. Payments will be made within 30 days or a reasonable time after requesting the payment.

Does it mean that I have to wait for my referrals to cash out to redeem my earnings?
Absolutely not. You are totally independent from your referrals' earnings. You can cash out as soon as you reach $350. Your earnings for your referrals only will show as soon as each of them cashes out. So it's not that you cannot cash out until your referrals do, you could not have a single referral and cash out all the same.
So what this basically says is that you will only get paid for your Get Paid to Click actions and your Paid emails you click on. But the little amount that they pay out with these actions it would take about 5 years. The referrals you would never get credited ever, not even for a single referral. Because of the statement they say that your referral payment will be assessed when the referrals reach the minimum payment and cash out. And remember the only way to reach the minimum payout is through the Get Paid to Click and Paid Emails in about 5 years and then you would be eligible for the $25 referral payout. This company wont even be around in 5 years so in theory no one will ever get paid from this company.
We should all support websites like this one and GPTBoycott to give all entrepreneurs a place to check out new business opportunities. GPTBoycott also has a section 'Seal Of Approval' to let you know what programs are honest, paying, and worth joining. So please support these sites with your rip-off experiences as well as your success experiences.
