Date Boycotted: Before 2007 URL: http://www.seekbizs.com
SeekBizs is a paid-email program, offering one cent solo e-mails, fast payments and four referral levels of commission. At the time of writing, the site has over 2,000 members, and the site even offers an MSN address for support. At first glance, this site does not appear to be a candidate for boycott. However, as the complaints below detail, the site does not keep the promises it makes to its members.
The following complaints exhibit one underlying theme: non-payment. Members who have clicked and participated actively for weeks and months to reach the $5 minimum payment amount are sorely disappointed to find that despite no trace of payment from SeekBizs, their names are added to a "Been Paid" list. While the website claims at the time of writing to have paid out over $4,800, one wonders how many of the payments comprising that amount have found their way to the members who have clicked for them. The listed MSN address is uncontactable, and the site does not reply to e-mails of complaint.
For the reasons above, and the complaints listed below, SeekBizs has been boycotted!
Name: Papa Noel Date: October 27, 2006 Comments: I reached the 5$ payout and requested it at 09/17/2006. After this I was listed in the "Been Paid List" of SeekBizs. But I never received the money.
I ever received an answer of my mails from this site.
Also the request of 10000 banner impressions wasn't executed.
Name: johann ritter Date: October 27, 2006 Comments: this one is really not paying!
Name: Rose Date: January 6, 2008 Comments: I reached payout 4 x's never got paid, so decided to upgrade...they said I was but never got my ad's shown nor have I been paid yet either. Why can't these sites be removed completely so they won't scam other honest people?
Name: Charito Date: August 7, 2006 Comments: This is a fairly new program having started just last July 5, 2006. I have requested payout July 25th and was expecting it within the specified 48 hours according to their website. To this day, August 7th, 2006, I have not received any payment. I also found out from the Getpaidforum that there are other members who have not been paid at all. I closely monitor the Been Paid list and there are 10 to 20 more added to the "Been Paid list" everyday but I believe they have not been paid at all either. I was the 2st person to claim payout and my name is on the Been Paid list but like many others....it's a very misleading list because we have not been paid at all. They still send me 30 to 40 emails a day and I do believe that those advertiser have paid Seekbizs in advance and they should pay their members as well.
Name: Andrew Darrow Date: August 7, 2006 Comments: This site promotes payout within 48 hours on their home page.
I made my request on 7/28, 10 days ago, and have yet to be paid.
I have contacted the webmaster twice about the non-payment and have never had the courtesy of a reply.
Additionally, I believe that no one has actually been paid by this program. Other forums that I have read indicate no payment at all.
Name: Peggy Date: August 7, 2006 Comments: I joined this site on 7 July 2006, reached cashout on 24 July, requested at that time but to this day I have not seen one cent of it. I am currently on vacation from the site because I have nearly reached payout again.
It is my understanding NO ONE has been paid by this site.

7/27/2006 robrob 5.00 $5 Paypal Payout
Name: David Date: August 12, 2006 Comments: I hope to see this PTR program boycotted. There are members who had requested payout for the 5th time with no payment at all. There is no reply from any emails sent to support. They are running another scam referral contest to bait more new sign ups. The amount of money they owe people are going up everyday and I have not heard of any single one who was paid in their "Been Paid List". This is very bad for all PTR programs. It would make you doubt the validity of their list. They should be stop scamming more people and pocketing money which are not righfully theirs to keep. I wish Paypal or Hotmail would close their account....what a waste of space on the net!
Name: Elzbieta Date: August 14, 2006 Comments: Did not pay me . Have 5 dol payout - sends 32 x 1 cent mails
did not answer my mails
Name: peter olsson Date: August 25, 2006 Comments: Have asked for payout with my verified Paypal 18:th august, it's stated that I have been payed that day, funds is removed from my eanings, but no money is payed.
I asked via the contact page what had happened the 22:nd august, got no answer.
Name: Latricia Kahla Date: August 26, 2006 Comments: Requested $5.00 cashout on 8/22. It says my name on the Been Paid list, which is inaccurate, because I have NOT been paid.
Site states they pay within 48 hours. FALSE!
Name: jim thorngren Date: September 15, 2006 Comments: I have not recieved payment though I requested payout 1.5 months ago
Name: Norma J Pham Date: September 17, 2006 Comments: They have not paid my request payout from 08/28/2006, nor have they answered any of my emails to ask why. The money has already been deducted from my account. They do that when you request payment, but before they pay you. So I can't even use it for advertising if they are low on money.
Name: Renate Date: September 17, 2006 Comments: Doesn't pay, and no reply to contact mails. They give an msn adres to contact, but are never online.
Name: Debra Elliott Date: September 28, 2006 Comments: Requested payment on September 22, 2006 and have not received payment. Sent e-mail asking about payment and the e-mail was returned stating that it was undelivable mail.
Name: july23au Date: October 3, 2006 Comments: Puts your user id in the Been Paid list but doesn't pay you.

Name: Angie Muilenburg Date: October 5, 2006 Comments: I filed for my $5.00 payment over a month ago. The site boasts that it will pay in 48 hours after request. So far I have seen no payment. I have had no response to numerous e-mails either.
Name: Alain Prud'Homme Date: October 16, 2006 Comments: They are not paying and doesn't reply to any of my e-mails
Name: Judy Harrell Date: October 23, 2006 Comments: I clicked and clicked as much as possible, and was supposed to be paid five dollars, I emailed them four or five times and have never heard from them ever. I wish to see them boycotted. I am honest and I don't lie or cheat. I wouldn't be on here telling you my complaint, just to be here. Please do something about them, they are making money off us poor people who have better things to do then to just click and click time and again believing that if you reach a certain payout, seekbiz would pay. They keep sending me paid emails to click but I just delete them as of now. And will in the future because of the five dollars owed me. Please believe me, as all my other sites have paid me ON TIME and one said sorry they were late in paying me, of which they really weren't. Thanks!! PS: I belong to ten other programs and they have all paid me but SEEKBIZ did NOT!! I am not so rich that I can afford to be scammed like this!!!!!!!!!!!!
Name: Giles Cyr Date: October 28, 2006 Comments: Same as everybody else. Did not receive payment.
Name: giorgio Date: October 28, 2006 Comments: i was scammed by seekbiz among other sites, i'm really surprised that many sites still promote these robbers, these sites make you loose the will to go on reading emails
Name: Kathy Date: October 28, 2006 Comments: Same here. I cashed out 08/06/06 and have not been paid yet. Too bad it takes so long to get these nonpayers boycotted.
Name: Ryan Tomlinson Date: October 28, 2006 Comments: I to was a member. 1 cents, 45 seconds. Ok, no biggy. But, when it came to getting paid, it was a no can do. I tried to contact the PO but, he/she ignored the request for an answer. After 45 days of waiting, I decided to cancel my account realizing that getting paid was never going to happen. Pretty sad that this stuff happens and we get ripped of do the European and Asian scammers.
