Think about it people, Adpuppies must be a scam, they sell your email address for 1.5$.You ca neasily ear 10$ without referrals, i have already earned 3$ three hours after joining.
That high earnings is unrealistic.And they require you to pay 10$ to get paid.

They require you to PAY to get paid??????????
But that's just sick!!

I'll give you a better deal than that !!!

Send me the $10 and I will send you $5 in
return.

Sounds Fair
tipsy
I haven't figured that out... Why should I pay for someone to sell my email address and pay me a little bit to sell it.. I know that they are making some when they sell it... So I'm paying them to sell it and then someone else is paying for them to buy it.. Sounds to me like they are getting paid all the way around and for that I get a little bit of each sale.. I would do it probably if I didn't have to pay them...

Yeap
paying to be paid is too bad!
who guarantees that they will pay at all!?

I wouldnt jump the gun just yet. I decided to pay $10 for this one, and got paid $14.50 in earnings.

The big test for them has come. I recruited 49 people, and earned $70 in earnings. I have withdrawn $14.50, and was paid in 24 hours.

Now if they pay me the $70, i'll give you the heads up. If its a scam, you'll know just as quick. It might be wise to wait and see before jumping in with the S word. I weighed up the pros and cons before paying my membership fee.

I am assuming the bulk of this money comes from the $10. It seems similar to those places, that ask you to join for $20, and they pay you $10/referral. How its done for sure, i'm clueless.

I waited to accure earnings before paying the membership.

I think this is just like what tasiaspaidlinks does. Where when we want to get the payout, we need to upgrade our member status to at least silver.
Wayne
I guess, its not something i'd personally do on any of my sites. If it pays out though i'll let you know all the same. I am not familiar with tasiaspaidlink.
Wayne
I can now confirm that I have received $91.50 exactly from adpuppies, and paid out $10 in membership,

A profit of $81.50. This isnt a scam, and its proven itself to me.

NICe to hear!
but not everyone have paypal!
;(
personally i don`t have
ppprk
Anyone ever tried to email them & got any reply?
I paid $10 and did withdraw $15 two days ago,but got nothing yet..

plus,after I changed my password,I can't log in with my ID & password.
I sent them an email asking about my password two days ago,but got no reply yet.

ppprk, probably they are afraid of you because you are too good in making money.
maylat
adpuppies gone????

Read the Sacmwatch site for their lists of dangers. Paying money just for you to get paid is a scam and Adpuppies is a scam.

I payed the 10.00 after accuring money...the i ended up with having like 3.00 owed to me
I cashed out recieved it almost immediatly
and that was over a week ago
and now i dont have any money owed to me anymore

it seems like a strange program...selling your email for money... ac.gif

then paying them SO you can get paid...just doesn't sound right...

it still works...kinda...as people pay them & some actually makes money...

really really weird be.gif
mazzie297
I don't know feel that it's that much different than any other paid safelist. It just seems to be presented differently.
People are paying for a valid product/service and AdPuppies is paying out! aa.gif
Poncer
You got ripped off Becca. I would file a complaint to BBB about them. You should never pay money to get paid.

I joined and cant login to my account....good thing i didnt pay the for the upgrade. ao.gif
mazzie297
jman410 what browser are you using to try and log-in? I've noticed their scripts have a problem with logging in with Netscape but work fine with IE. I just logged into my account with no problem. They also state in their terms "8. Any account that has not been activated and has not been accessed for 14 days will be automatically deleted. " Anyway, since their terms are in an area of the site that you need to log in to access I posted them here for you so you will have their email address to contact them about the problem you are having logging in if you are interested in doing so. If you do please keep us posted on how this works out for you. I know they are paying but it would be nice to hear some feedback on their support. Thanks!

Hey mazzie

I am using IE for my browser and still cant log in. I emailed support but I havent revcieved a response. Also, I just signed up today so I havent been inactive. It sucks I cant log in because I am really interested in this program.

- jman ah.gif
ppprk
my login problem has been fixed,but it took 20 days am.gif
now it is too late
it is not a new program now.. ah.gif
Poncer
14 days is a very harsh punishment don't you think?
ppprk
What 14 days?
Pia
I think Poncer means this part from the TOS:

8. Any account that has not been activated and has not been accessed for 14 days will be automatically deleted.
ppprk
Ok,thanks. That 's why I lost many referrals in one day...
I went from 60 down to 14... ah.gif
Pia
Awww I'm sorry to hear that ppprk ah.gif
I only have one so far and I haven't checked in couple of days, might be so that I don't have that even that one left.... av.gif

Did you pay for the 10 $ when you joined or did it accumulate itself when you got those bonuses from referral sign-ups?
I'm still bit confused about the way the program works and there's not much info on the site itself!
So I was just thinking if I get enough referrals (ie. they make me more than those 10$), do I need to pay the ammount then?
ppprk
I paid $10 the same day I joined it because my acount was showing +$15..
mimonza
So is this adpuppies a scam or wat? If it is a scam, I think we have delete the entire referral thread in the referral center...

Gosh, this is scary... I was about to pay for that $10
mimonza
And to think I even signed up for it under the referral thread... urghhh...
ppprk
If you are asking about payment,it is not a scam yet.
they are paying..

I don't think they will have problem in paying members
Their payrate is not high at all,but a bit low.
Most of these sites pay 50% or even 80%,but adpuppies only pays 22.5% of what they earn..
if a member pay $10 & actvate account,they pay $1.50 to first level upline & $0.75 to 2nd level upline & the rest $7.75 goes to their pocket.

I joined adpuppies over two weeks ago and they have only sold my addy to 2 people. The same with my one referral. I will not refer anyone else until I see that they can actually make money. Has this happened to anyone else?

jman410
I wouldnt know cuz I STILL can login to my account...I think maybe I will sign up for a new account and remove the other one if it ever gets working since I still have time to change i tin the downline thread I think.
Links2Cash
Other than the payment issue, what does this site do? I mean, I know they apparently sell your name to other members, but do they ever ask YOU to buy names? Do they allow you to send ads to everyone else on their list? Do you get tons of mail from the people using the lists, if they have lists for you to use?

I'm just trying to figure out what they do ....
Golden-Tools Administrator
I don't know if they are scam or not, but i have been paid ...
mazzie297
ak.gif The past couple days the adpuppies URL has been giving a "Forbidden Error."
I emailed them to ask about this and will update here when I get a response.
Pia
Still the same message:


Forbidden
You do not have permission to access the requested file on this server.

I hope they asnwer soon to mazzies mail, I would like to know to how many they have sold my addy already!! ac.gif
mazzie297
Argh...I know Pia this one looked good. I hope they get it straightened out and they come back. Still no response to the email I sent them. ah.gif If anyone else would also like to try their email addy is: adpuppies@hotmail.com
Poncer
Could they have been busted for being a scam, and will not be coming back?
mazzie297
That would be a major supposition.
angelarock
AdPuppies IS a scam!

I paid my $10 up front, my list never grew beyond 4 people and now, just two weeks after I paid, the site is down and has been for several days. The domain owner does not respond to my emails and I am out $10. ah.gif
