Scammers: Readbud

July 30, 2010 I became a member of Readbud. What exactly is Readbud? It is a website (http://www.readbud.com/) that pays you to read and rate some articles based on your pre-selected topics of interest. It promised to pay you once you’ve reach the minimum of $50. At first you will be enticed because articles being served were 15-20 per day which were amounted to more than a dollar a day. But I’ve noticed that once your total amount increases the number of articles available decreases. The articles started dwindling after I hit the $35.00 mark. Now that I have reach the balanced of $48.33 ($1.67 short of $50, which is the minimum redemption amount), no articles was made available to me since July 2011 of last year.



Now it is year 2012 and I’ve checked their site again, still no article was available to me. These are scammer’s tactics to delay their payment. Since I’ve first joined Readbud, I have been on a look out for some proof of payment, but I have not been able to find one that looks authentic. I think I will not be able to reach $50. And I have found out from other bloggers that there are some who reached the $50 amount but were not paid by Readbud.

Please be warned and pass this message as to help others.
