Date Boycotted: 30-10-2007 URL: http://www.wowearnings.com
WowEarnings is a paid e-mail site offering e-mails worth up to 10 cents, a $5 signup bonus, and a $20 payout minimum. The site also proudly boasts that payments are made within 72 hours, though the complaints which follow show this not to be the case.
The reason that WowEarnings 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. Some 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.
For the reasons above, and the complaints listed below, WowEarnings has been boycotted!

I have been clicking those emails and not getting credit for any of them. I wrote to the Admin, and guess what, no reply.

Name: Jamie Date: November 29, 2007 Comments: My account has been leveled off at $16.64 for over a year now. I emailed them to complain that I was still completing offers and clicking on "paid emails", and they never responded. I deleted my account (which of course, worked), and unsubscribed about 50 times but I still get several emails from them daily. Is there a way to report them for not unsubscribing me? It's very frustrating.

Name: Sugarface Date: March 19, 2008 Comments: Can't access account information as it says my sign in is invalid, even if its copy and pasted from the E-Mail with sign in info. Despite the fact that I have not responded to any E-Mails sent from them in over a year(your account is supposed to be closed if you do not answer 20 emails or so) AND canceling my account, I STILL recieve E-Mails from them. This is a scam and a half.

I also upgraded to gold status with the promise of double payments on future e-mails or offers. Now when I try to sign in it tells me that I can't remeber my account name and password. I have these written down and I'm looking at them right now. I've written dozens of e-mails, and have never got a responce.
