Hello all

Have you had any experiences with these Paid-to read email companies: Jumbolina, EworldGenie and
One Dollar Email?

I've been a members of One Dollar Email for nearly a year now, and even with more than 80 referrals, I've only clocked up $5.

Most of their paid emails seem to be paid-to-join, meaning if you don't actually signup, you earn zero.

Thanks for answering me Rupe

I have just started to try and earn some money on the internet.
It seems to me that more and more scams are popping up. All three of these paid-to programs
are not crediting me (ore very little at the best)
for my searches.
EworldGenie seems to be redeeming our earnings only if we by some crappy stuff in their redemption center.
I have studied the terms closely and they do mention something about sending money, but I don't know. They have a lot of click banners. They work, and the money show in my stats, but I don't trust them to be willing to send me the money when I reach the redemption amount so I have practically stopped clicking. I want to hear what other people say about them before I continue clicking.

Jumbolina does not have banners, and it is very hard to click a valid searchlink for them. I don't even get credited for all of the links that are valid.
Best regards Berit

you cant classify eworld genie as a scam. i know it sounds like a scam cos of the way they operate, but its pretty much just a redemption for products. i have actually received something from them and i live in australia, so they are definately not a scam. jumbolina i have never joined so i cant tell u there. I joined One Dollar Email over a year ago and i really dont like them. I have received about 2 paid emails from them, and i only have 60 cents in my account, with a minimum of what $17???....its gonna be EDITED hard to get there.

one dollar email has a paid clicks section where you can earn about 10 cents a day. I've got 2.5 in my account so i don't know if they pay or not.
I've never recieved any emails from them but the number of links you can click each day vary a bit so i think they are active.

Jumbolina i think you can only redeem for advertising, not cash.

Paid searches are tough because you have to use unique terms PER SEARCH, PER SEARCH ENGINE. So, say you search for "Harry Potter" on Trocadeiro for one company on Monday. That's it, you cannot search for it for any other company ever again using Trocadeiro. This causes a lot of confusion and IMHO, headaches.

I do not think Jumbolina is going to work out, simply because of the confusion. I am not impressed, myself, and I resent a company that calls a paid search a 'paid email'.

I wouldn't call any of those programs "scams" per say, but they use some misleading tactics to make you think you are earning more than you are.

I don't know whether my system for paid searches will help.
I pick a topic each day e.g. plants,countries,animals etc and then every time I have to do searches I go through the alphabet picking the name of something in that category.
Change the subject every day and change the letter every search - it works for me.

Good idea, I think I will try that. Everything will undoubtedly come up with Viagra, but it is good for a laugh...

Like my search for mexican food and chewable viagra was top result :confused: Get brain-dead trying to dream up "unique" terms. Lot of times I'll send the search emails to my "searches only" folder. Then I get out Mr. Webster, close my eyes, open up the book, and where my finger lands is the "search term" for that email. You can find anything at ebay and bizrate!

just for the record every knows Tombmailer is a Scam now :tongue:

I want to say it first before anyone else does :frown:
Brenda@PJ
She's right. Tombmailer IS a scam. I mean, it's red and black, but I don't see ANY corpses or crypt-like images ANYWHERE! MAN!

We have also conspired together the last few weeks to cheat our members out of all their money.

Unfortunately it isn't working because we are still paying for hosting fees, the original setup costs, free ads we run for people, promotional costs to garner more referrals for our gold members, and we still have to pay her cousin Sammy for uh, taking care of a certain advertiser who wouldn't cough up the dough for a quarter-cent ad.

So now we have to resort to other methods. We are trying to get as many referrals as we can so that we can make at least $423.76 cents by Fall. I've booked one of those Cruises for us, the kind you win on Lotto sites. Aren't those legitimate? They only wanted one credit card...

I've told her about my list of social assistance programs I have made up, just in case, but I am positive that our latest efforts will work. I mean, look at the MONEY involved in selling ads for $15, then paying 10,000 people 1, 2 or even 3 cents to read them... wait a minute, my calculator must be broken, that comes out to a negative number.

Well, I have to confess, as well, that PocketJingle is a rip-off. I don't even tell funny jokes. I keep running all these ads for people who redeem their bonuses and just drone on and on about my pets, my family, and a lot of stupid contests. I probably don't even pay people those prizes, I probably make all their names up.

Man, I feel better about getting THAT off my chest! Speaking of cosmetic confessions, I dye my hair, too. I actually have a lot of gray hair, from owning a small business that is actually a scam.

And, to add insult to injury, I am not even a perfect speller. I have to use a spell checker quite often. I know I have let a lot of people down, who had faith in my writing abilities, I am sorry. I even have to use a dictionary sometimes, too.

I'd like to apologize for putting my own links in paid emails, as well. It isn't fair that I spent around $400 and use this program to try and gain referrals so that I can get paid from other programs someday. I mean, members should just be able to click on paid links for no good reason. Heck, they ought to be able to just email the advertisers and swap money with THEM. I mean, those poor advertisers must be getting ripped off when they buy ads, right? Just like bidding on search terms. Those pitiful schmucks must really have to scrape to buy so many unrelated key words. Too bad they don't ever sell anything.

Lastly, I'd like to say that all my contact information I give to my readers is incorrect. They think they are talking with me, but they are really talking to my 4 year old, or sometimes my cat. He's a pretty good typist now that he's been declawed. I don't have to make good on any promises he makes, though. Contracts with animals aren't legally binding.

I hope you all aren't too disappointed.

i beleive pocketjingle is a SCAM. no payments, playing the waiting game with her, and when i griped and griped in her support folder she locked it down. how many others are NOT Getting paid. said i was "out of line" for even suggesting she was and also told me to "take my accusations, insinuations, and whining and put them wherever they may do the most good, it ain't here because she is doing ALL THAT SHE CAN". and then stated " kinda like the real world, eh" well i gues it is kinda like the real world. everybody is trying to screw you out of something. after she said all she need to say, the folder was locked down. well what is the complaint folder for, if you can't complain, there was no foul language, i only posted what i had to say. now i suppose this folder will be locked down also, so where can i complain, what's the purpose of these support folders, anyone know?? if these are not for complaining then please someone point me to the right folders.
