Date Boycotted: 07-09-2008 URL: http://www.ubizs.com
Ubizs is a paid e-mail site offering e-mails worth between 0.4 cents and 2 cents, two referral levels, and a $3 payout minimum for "Active Search Members". The front page of the site also proudly boast that payments are made "within 72 hours", though the complaints which follow show this not to be the case.
The reason that Ubizs is on the boycott list is the non-payment of members. The complaints below detail how members who have reached the minimum payout amount are not being paid according to the site's own Terms of Service, and many of those members have had their accounts deleted. Support e-mails have not been responded to, members have not been paid, and so this program rightly belongs on the boycott list.
Other Sites with the Same Owner
After examining WHOIS records, it is believed that the owner of Ubizs also owns BizBizs, MyBizs, and Ugains.
For the reasons above, and the complaints listed below, Ubizs has been boycotted!
Name: Amy VanNorman Date: December 18, 2007 Comments: They give you an email address to let them know if it's over 4 days since payout request and you haven't been paid, but they don't respond or pay. And their site posts many false claims, such as payout within 48 hrs and all emails 1, 1.5 and 3 cents...they are mostly .5 cent emails with a few .6 and 1 cent emails.
Name: A. Elliott Date: March 23, 2007 Comments: Requested payment 4th March, no payment, no reply to several emails and contact form, no Admin mail to members to advise re:payments. Mails still being sent out.

Name: william Date: April 17, 2008 Comments: Requested pay 1-21-08 & have not been paid.
Name: Jeffrey Nielsen Date: May 22, 2008 Comments: They charge you 20 cents over & above the $2.00 minimum payout - NO other website charges more than 1 cent to get paid that I know of. Then they only send enuff emails each day to make 5 or 6 cents, so reaching $2 takes forever AND they dropped the payout from .5 to .4 cents on over half of those emails. I just cancelled my account & am SO disgusted that I don't care that they'll keep my earnings. Don't waste your time on these losers.
Name: Carole Lepore Date: September 23, 2008 Comments: owed 5.00 since August
