Mintcoins android app - SCAM

MintCoins -  an android mobile app that offers money for installing apps in your mobile is a SCAM. It is a simple app that allows you to earn money from 4-10 coins (100  coins = 1$) for downloading other apps, games, watching videos. Payment is done via paypal.

Initially it looked like an honest paying app as they paid my first payment of 1.07$ in sept 2013. Since they paid and looked legit, I even rated them  5 ★ on google playstore. Now after accumulating 6$  the second time,  they have not paid and neither is there any reply to the emails and customer support ticket. They claim to pay in 24 hrs, but it has has been 6 days while I write this review!

I tried to check the reviews on google playstore if I am sailing in the same boat as someone else. While i did find some, majority reviews are fake reviews as mint coins offers 0.10$ to rate them.

Conclusion: Utter waste of time plus my mobile went slow with installation and uninstalling of these apps.

Other issues: Offers come from third parties like tokenads, supersonic, sponsorpay etc and not directly from mintcoins. Many times (90%) it happens that offer has been completed and still not paid. For such scenarios, the third party needs to be contacted and it is upon them to approve or reject your ticket. They tend to reject tickets even if you have a valid screenshot proving your task completion - reason given the advertiser cannot confirm it! Only when I questioned them back once that I have already provided a clear screenshot displaying a "Thank you" message for registration, did they approve!

WInterest.biz SCAM

After being on net for a long time, I have learnt to identify "not-paying" sites to a large extent. Still when I came across WInterest.biz, as my first step, I researched about them. At that time, they were paying like most of the new sites nowadays, to come in the "authentic and paying site" list. There were other HYIP monitors, who reported them as paying too. I could not find any negative review, though some smart blogger still had his doubt (sorry I could not recall his name/blog). He mentioned that the owner of WInterest.biz was the owner of some same old website that went fake!! 

I decided to take my chance, as they allowed investment as low as $1. 

 

I joined WInterest.biz HYIP on 2nd Sept 2011 by making a deposit of 1$. Once you have earned the profit back, you can use the same money in your WInterest.biz account to make another deposit. Ofcourse I continued doing the recursive deposit. On November 17, 2011 I thought of withdrawing 1.19$ to check them. And boom...I lost my 1$ as my withdrawal request is still pending..

In their FAQ they have mentioned - 

After I make a withdrawal request, when will the funds be available on my ecurrency account?
We Pay INSTANTLY or within 12 hours!

I even tried contacting the support team, but as expected haven't received any response yet!

Also, now I have started seeing similar complaints against winterest.biz for non-payment and HYIP monitors have tagged them as NOT PAYING.

Readbud SCAM

Readbud offers earnings to read articles. Members get articles in their accounts based on their interests they select while joining. Members are expected to read these articles and rate them. These articles range from 0.03 to 0.10$


Initially, I used to get lots of articles in one day and I could easily earn $1 in a day. This made it look easy to reach target of 50$ payout. But when I reached $30, the articles got limited to 2 per day, and then I was hardly earning 0.10$ each day. I still wanted to somehow reach the target payout to check the authencity of the site. And atlast I reached the payout in October. According to the website, the payout will reach you in 30 days. And now it is more than 30 days, that I have requested for cashout.


I had earlier read about readbud.com being scam, but wanted to check out myself as few of them even claimed out being paid. Now I am writing this article as I am sure about their SCAM. Also the website does not have any forum unlike other PTC sites. I have also noticed, that there is no transaction history about my requesting cashout. As transaction history, I can see the articles I had rated and been paid for, but no details of when I had requested cashout. On requesting cashout, instantly 50$ were deducted from my account, but I do not see any transaction for that!


Well, at the end it was again waste of days and work, but hoping that this article would save someone wasting their time on readbud.com

Earning per click is very low which can be a minus point for people wihout referral line. You receive around 5-8 mails each day each worth a quarter of a cent!!

Per clicks earning might be low as compared to other sites, but donkeymails does make it up with their referral system which is 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, and 1% across 5 levels deep. You can earn a decent money with a good referral list.

Though most experienced people wont recommend this site, but it is definitely a LEGIT site. If you are happy with small earnings and if you can make a good referral line, then certainly you will have no complaints whatsoever with Donkeymails.
