Sites to Avoid

Below are several sites to avoid signing up for in my opinion and experience.  Others may have had good experience with them but I have not.   Take it for what you will.  I am constantly checking out new sites of all sorts and this list might grow. 

One thing to keep in mind though with any On-Line Earning site, if it sounds too good to be true it usually is.

Site Name My Experience
   
3quartermails.com I joined this site and they did send a lot amount of email.  The problem came in that most email was worth only .015 cents so after having done a hundred of clicks I'd only earned 4 cents and the minimum payout is $5, it would take a very, very long time to reach payout.  I decided it was not worth the bother.  This is one that it is up to you to decide whether it is worth hassling with.
   
aceptr.com I joined this site and they did send a fair amount of email.  The problem came in that most email was worth only .01 cents; it was the PTP email only even though I had not checked off for receiving such email.  I never received any that were worth more then .03 cents.   I decided it was not worth the bother.  This is one that it is up to you to decide whether it is worth hassling with.
   
berrymails.com I joined this site and they did send a fair amount of email.  The problem came in with each link I clicked on there was either a Trojan, virus or other problem then sent my Norton Anti-Virus off.  I wrote to them about this several times and received nothing back from them on it.
   
cash4offers This site offers paid to click emails at 5 cents each.  It also has sign up offers to earn more money.  The minimum payout is at $25.  What they don't tell you either in their terms or their FAQ page is that you have to do and have approve at least the equivalent of 1 offer per month otherwise you cannot cash out.  I wrote to them several times and even tried instant messaging them since they ha that information there.  Nothing and still no money.They do not answer support emails. 
   
coolcatmails.com No this was a site I did recommend. They started out great.  They sent a fair amount of email and paid out on time.  Then they started sending less and less email so I was only getting about 3 per day but I finally reached payout again. I requested payout, the money was subtracted from my account and it showed I was pad on the "Been Paid List" but I never received the money.    I wrote to them several times and even tried instant messaging them since they have that information there. They did not write back and still no money.
   
clixsense.com Now this site does pay but one has to wonder if it's worth it. It's free to join and you get at least one cent per click.  You have to reach $10 before you get paid, and it can take several months to reach that amount.  Then they mail you a check and take $3 for it, so you only get $7 of it.  You can upgrade and receive more clicks but to upgrade you have to use a credit card (You can't use your earnings).  I wouldn't bother wasting one's time there but others might consider it worth it.  Your choice.
   
daylookup.com After joining this site I received the first set of emails.  The first two were almost impossible to read due to poor html in the coding.  I found the links though and clicked on them.  The third email was a bit better and I noticed it was an anti-cheat link.  Well I went to the site to check and yes the first two were anti-cheat as well but due to how poor the coding was you could not read that.  I was now $2 in the hole.  I went to delete my account and couldn't.  There was no delete area.  I had to contact them to get removed.
   
Gainpay and Gainmail These are two sites that I did recommend. They started out great.  They sent a fair amount of email and paid out on time.  Then they started sending less and less email so I was only getting about 3 every few days but I finally reached payout again. I requested payout at Gainpay and after several days requested it again.  After a few more days I wrote to them, at this point it had been a week since my original request.  At two weeks I wrote again with still no response.  I am almost at payout at Gainmail and once I do I will request from there as well but I doubt I'll have any better luck. 
   
hits4pay.com This site I have been told repeatedly pays out.  I don't know I have yet to reach their minimum payout.  They give you $10 to start and each click is worth 2 cents, minimum payout is $25.  When I first joined the minimum was $50 but they have lowered that amount.  Still I've been with them for well over a year and still cannot reach payout.  They just don't send enough email.  Also they do require your tax info before they will send you your money, even though you won't make enough at that point to file anything with.  This is another one where it's up to you to decide if it's worth bothering with.

As a note I did reach payout finally from them.  It only took 4 years to do but I did it.  I'm waiting now to see if they pay me or not, they payout on the 15th of the month if you made the $25 by the 1st so we will see come next month.
   
fairytaletreasure.com This is a GPT site I joined that seemed great.  I did earn on them and was paid.  I was earning quite a bit on there actually.  This was when I first started doing GPT's and I had tried out a few different ones before settling on FTT, this was over a month span and then I decided to just stick with 1 of them.  I was doing FTT solely for 2 weeks.  I wrote asking them about a duplication on their site and asking since it was there could I do it again.  They told me no, that I could not do any offer again no matter what.  Well I asked them then because there is more then one computer and one person in the house what if they do one and I don't know about it.  They said it didn't matter who did it or when, etc.  Well I let them know I was solely doing them for the last 2 weeks and I'd let the others know not to any. I checked with the others and they hadn't been doing any recently and wouldn't.  I asked would this be a problem.  FTT stated "No it wouldn't be a problem so long as I stuck with them and that I was one of their best workers".  I figure great and I continue to do the sign ups... 3 days later my account was deleted.  They stated I had too many duplicate offers that were rejected but couldn't let me know until the next month what these offers were.  I got the list and most were offers that never cleared to begin with (they were pending only) but even if they had cleared the amount rejected no where equaled the amount I had earned.  They kept those earnings and I am now not able to do those offerings elsewhere so am out that money completely.  So I would say use this site with caution.
   
mybizs.com I joined this site, clicked on the emails as they came in until I reached payout.  It states once you reach payout level a "redemption option appear in your account area".  It never appeared.  I wrote to them several times on this and never received anything back.  Over a month passed and I still didn't get paid.  I dropped them.
   
niceptr.com This site looked good and I saw them advertised all over so I signed up.  On their front page it states "Send 40-80 emails to active members".  Well I was with them for almost 2 months.  In that whole time I got 1 email.  Yes just the 1.  I checked my inbox on site and that was all they sent.  Overall a waste of time.
   
paydaynight.com Another site that looked decent.  I signed up, did the clicks till I reached payout and then nothing.  I requested it but nothing ever came through.  I emailed repeatedly and still nothing.  On recent checking their site seems to be down but one never knows when they might pop up again.
   
prizebook.com Another site that looked decent.  I joined them originally back in July. By their FAQ page they say they payout every Friday night so long as you've reached payout however by their forums and support tickets they say they payout nightly at 12am PST to paypal accounts. The first time I reached payout it took almost a week to get paid, the same with the second time however each time they at least responded to support questions and questions in the forum. They gave excuses to why they were bogged down. The first time saying due to recent press coverage they had far more new members then they expected and it had slowed them down. The second time they stated it was some problem with paypal. Now they aren't even bothering to respond to support tickets or to people in the forum. The forum is filled with people complaining about unanswered support tickets and not getting paid, some haven't been responded to or paid in weeks.

They also have a big problem with having "trial offers" in the "free area". I sent in a support ticket back in October on it and they did respond saying they would fix it. They never did. Others have noted similar in the forum that they have let them know without it getting fixed.

Finally their referral program via the FAQ page says you get $5 once the person confirms their email however this is not the case. In the forum the admins have stated it's once the person has reached payout and they get paid then you get the $5. They seem to contradict themselves constantly on this issue to try and avoid paying referrals.
   
readrevenue.com Another site that looked decent.  I signed up, did the clicks till I reached payout and then nothing.  I requested it but nothing ever came through.  I emailed repeatedly and still nothing.
   
real-cashs.com I'd seen this site advertised a great deal as well and tried it.  I would only get one or two emails per day from them so earning the minimum payout of a $1 took me almost 6 months but I reached it and then they changed the payout to $2.  I was not going to waste any more time and deleted my account with them.
   
sharedmails.com Another site that looked decent.  I signed up, did the clicks till I reached payout and even got payout, twice from them.  Now though they aren't paying people and not responding to emails.  Not sure what happened but they were one of the good ones but now they are being watched at GPT and I would recommend not trying them.

Update on this one.  They did email people to say they were having problems and shutting down.  They state they will pay people eventually but when that will be who knows.

   
sparky-mail.com I'd seen this site advertised a great deal as well and tried it.  I would only get a few emails per day from them and the clicks were worth 1/100ths or 5/100ths of a penny so earning the minimum payout of a $5 would take forever if at all possible.  I decided it was not worth the bother.  This is another one that it is up to you to decide whether it is worth hassling with.
   
sunny-mails.com This is one of those too good to be true sites that I found when I first started doing these.  They offer large amounts but never, ever payout. 
   
tesasteamails.com Well I loved Tesas when I first joined but I recently dropped them. They were sending over 230 emails a day and each one worth around .025cents so that it took forty of them to even equal a penny but then if you bounced any email at all they would switch you from email to the onsite inbox only. I wrote to them about this and found out out of 230 emails per day I was bouncing 2 back a day (less then 1%) and they found that to be unacceptable because it takes their bandwidth up (their words on that. I've never had email on my domain effect my bandwidth).

I told them any email account out there bounces now and then especially when they are receiving that many from one person, it looks like spam even though it isn't. I was told by them to get my own domain email for it and then I wouldn't have any problem. I have my own domain email and it bounces now and then as well, just how it goes. Nothing on the internet is perfect and they should realize that.

I've since heard they have had trouble due to bandwidth limit being exceeded but that they are still up and running.

   
ugains.com Another site that looked decent.  I signed up, did the clicks till I reached payout and then nothing.  I requested it but nothing ever came through.  I emailed repeatedly and still nothing.  I waited over a month and never had one cent come through.
   
  More to Come :)
