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!

Comments: I completed several offers that I was not paid for. A few months ago, I was with-in $1.23 of the cash-out of $40.00 when I stopped receiving e-mails and there were no new offers available to earn money. Then $8.00 was deleted from my account, with no explanation. I e-mailed WowEarnings numereous times, but they have never replied. There is no phone number or physical address listed to contact them.

Comments: I had originally joined Wow Earnings back in 2006. I had gotten just a little above the minimum payment. I think I had earned about $32 on the site. I was pumped cause it was around the time I didn't have a job and that would had been money to go to a concert. A week went by: no money. After that a month and two months went by and no money. After 3 months I gave up. I had e-mailed them at least 2 or 3 times in that time frame. I wish I had found this such MUCH sooner than now. It would had been a nice site to see 3 years ago. Unfortunately I had to find out on my own. I eventually deleted my account probably last year or in 2007.

Comments: I thought I was the only IDIOT on the web. Now I don't feel as bad as some people who have been waitin over a year for they're money. 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.

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.

Comments: I was a member of wowearnings, and all I can say is that this company/site is a scam. I upgragded where I was supposed to get referrals added to my downline, but this never happened. Also they would never respond to my support questions. I had built my balance to 17.00 but I cancelled my account. Stay away from this one for sure.

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.

Comments: I became a member of wowearnings prior to it showing up on the watch list. I have been clicking those emails and not getting credit for any of them. I wrote to the Admin, and guess what, no reply. I figured I would give it a short while to see if anything changed, it didn't. I am now canceling my membership. They are not giving credit for "paid" emails as per their tos.
