inboxdollars.com A very clever SCAM! IBD doesn't legally meet the definition of fraud, but it is close! Internet
They kindly give you $5 when you sign-up... knowing that most people will work on it a while then quit, leaving cash for IBD as profits, and of those remaining many will have issues getting their money out!!
I was a member since college, so almost 10 years!!
my only mistake was to refer family members as I'm not one to tell friends & coworkers to waste time on such ridiculous sites like IBD, they give 2 cents for reading emails & have so many contests that noone ever wins & have surverys that mysteriously stall or exclude you on the last page, so IBD gets paid, but you don't!!
So my brother had a list of ongoing issues with IBD, first they closed his account as he used a foreign IP address, so he TOLD THEM he has a VPN on his laptop & maybe that interfered & he begged them to reactivate his account, which they did begrudgingly as VPNs are not stated in the TOS so legally he was alright!
THEN they refused to pay him $6 for no reason (they lost his emails etc), & when he finally asked a fourth time they closed his account AGAIN! He asked why & they provided a list of TOS violations, not even 30 minutes after he emailed them, so they literally had a list waiting to close his account & take his money!!!
IBD said that he again used his VPN, which I know for a fact he did not as he used a different laptop to check his IBD account, mine in fact, as I upgraded his laptop OS to Win 10 (a mistake I know).
SO, as he used MY laptop they also closed MY account as it violates TOS to use the same laptop, address (we have different addresses but he visits often), wifi signal even - eg. if a person uses a library wifit to check their account, and other people do too, then ALL of them can/will have their accounts closed according to the TOS that IBD selectively enforces.
I say IBD SELECTIVELY ENFORCES rules as that is how they make money! Their software & website spy on peoples activities & usage to find violations of TOS, which are stored until the scammed customer tries to cash out their hard earned money! Proof of this is that I have been a member for almost TEN YEARS, worked overseas in Japan, Philippines, & the Caribbean & not once did they close my account or hassle me, as I was not earning enough for them to notice me, but the second my brother tried to cash out they red flagged him & stole his $60 & my slowly increasing $15 (as he happens to be using the same wifi signal as me right now)!
They keep customers who refer friends & selectively steal from quiet people who do not refer others or have a large online presence (thereby reducing potential negative publicity).
IBD causes IBD & stinks!! They are immoral vultures & should be ashamed, as should the families of all their employees!!
