Complaint Review: From Home Data Entry

There was an offer of 7 free websites to evaluate for $10 each.  Once done you found that you couldn't be paid unless you bought a 100 for $24.95 to evaluate.  Which I did.  There were a lot of conditions that you had to do, I followed the terms very carefully.  I spent a lot of hours completeing the assignments.  When I finished and asked for my money I was told that it would be 6-8 weeks before my check arrived.  At 9 weeks I emailed asking why the delay.  I got no reply.  My credit card had a phone # for the company that took the $24.95.  At 10 weeks I called that number which was simply a clearing house type accepting money for many companies. However, they did have a dispute method which I asked for and entered.  The only reply I got was that I didn't follow their terms.  I asked for specifics - none has ever been given.  I got a message from Plimus asking if the problem was resolved.  I said no, I still want to be paid for my work.  Over a week now and no answer!!  Would love to find a lawyer that would take this on.
