==================this update is at the top============================= I know it will give the members who said so the pleasure of knowing that eformoney are having a lot of troubles lately. You can't log-in and the have sent no emails out. So as many of the wise members predicted this could be their much anticipated end of efotmoney.com. No worry for me though because i recieved £50 off them. I hope this is just a minor problem that they will recover from.
=old part = please read on if you have never read this op before
==== For once I have to go against the general flow of the public opinion.This sixteen year old still gullible and vulnerable to the ways of life and the internet,Every day i would dive into misleading paid to surf adverts head on.Only to join up and later to be greeted by the "this company will cease to operate and all funds generated will be forfeited" e-mail.
At one point I thought to myself , Why do all these companies make false promises and in the long run add to the amount of disgruntled surfers unhappy with the money they earned disappearing into the unknown.And the reason is that they are all following in each others footsteps all with the same types of software , pay rates and set-ups.This means that they fall over before they can even stand. Rather like a row of paid to surf dominoes falling to the harsh reality that their ideas way ahead of their time.
I joined a host of paid to surf companies
Adsenger = No ads = No money Cashfiesta = 1hour equals 100 points . 100 points equals 0.00001pence Cashsurfers = 0.1 pence per hour Get pounds = get away now before you realise its a con Alladvantage = all gone Sharkhunt = about 100 hours to make a measly tenner.
Alright you get my point that most of these companies have failed , and failed miserably to deliver waht they promised us.You feel a bit of a tit after referring your friends and telling them they'll make loads , only for the company to go bust.
And the list is longer when you add the paid 2 recieve e-mail companies.
Mint mail = 0.03 cents per e-mail i'm not even gonna waste your time with the rest
Then we come across E-formoney.Well who ever thought of the name should win an award for dislexic webdesigners award . I suggest F-formoney .(Only Joking)
E-for money is one of the limited UK companies to pay you to recieve their ads in e-mail. And when you think about it the simple ideas are the best.With e-mail there is no software to download, no software bugs , everyone has an e-mail,there is no bulky ad bar at the bottom of the screen getting in the way of your start bar.
So what do they offer
10p per e-mail recieved 10p to follow the link in each e-mail 2p per e-mail your refferals recieve 5 shares for joining 2 shares for every person you introduce. £1 To complete their surveys ( i have already completed 2)
So when i joined i expected a slow start and thats what happened but the second month things picked up.I did 2 suveys , recieved over 15 e-mails on average per day.That meant that I was earning £3 a day for a short period of time but i reached my £25 mark and recieved the money it was sent in cheque form and later and e-mail said due to the costs of sending cheques they would prefer to transfer to peoples accounts.
From the start of july 2001 to the 6 July 2001 I have earned £9.92 and this i expect to go up as I have reffered 2 friends of mine.
There are always people moaning about money making schemes but what we have to remember is that a select few make it to actually pay.If you checked all the pay schemes you would see that the longest surviving companies will be the ones with realistic pay rates.We make it bad for ourselves because we pressure companies to pay us more but in retrospect end up decreasing our payrates.
Whether its luck , good planning or the generous amount of backers E-formoney is the only company to keep is promise to its customer and if it was to cease would give a higher benchmark for other companies to beat.Therefore leading to a more developed range of internet paid schemes.
I don't promise you'll make money but this ideas a lot better than most of the paid to surf schemes.I don't promise that the site wont close but it is worth signing up for.
(UPDATED SAT 21 01:48am )
Since writing I have noticed a drop in the amount of e-mails sent from the offers@e-formoney.com. But I have been paid for what is classed as spam. Coming from mainly newsgroups and mobile phone companies ,I also recieved one for compensation claims. They are from other companies , and there is only one way this has happened . They must have gave my information to other companies which has kind of broken the privacy agreement.
So I here you saying "they might have just gave your e-mail" but at the top of the e-mail my name was in the header. It does not totally bother me because if thats the way to get money its worth it. MY ACCOUNT £15.92
In response to the messages of people have not earned a pea. I mentioned at the bottom of my review that I know that not everyone will make money but it was worth signing up. I am just probably in a minority of people that are making some money.......peace.
Saw you had updated so took another look. Can you clarify?
Have you received this money very recently (last couple of weeks or so) and have you received emails from them over the same period? Are these emails the "normal" ones or have they refered to the problems they are having? I have emailed them but they have not replied. Hoping they've not hit the deck. Dave
