			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I checked my Paid.vg account again to see if my first payment has finally been sent to my Alertpay account. But, as I already expected, no money was sent. I&#8217;m waiting since February 25th on my first $13 payout and the Paid.vg TOS states that payments will be send within 30 days. So, even after 30 business days, I didn&#8217;t get paid. <strong>Many members, including premiums, were not paid</strong> too. But that isn&#8217;t the only problem that currently occurs on Paid.vg&#8230;</p>
<p>Today I also noticed a mysterious change in my accounts payment history. Some days ago the history showed me a pending payment of $13 (the money I&#8217;m still waiting for), but today&#8230;nada! It seems <strong>the Paid.vg admin has silently removed pending payment requests</strong>. And here I&#8217;m not the only one again. It looks like all members with pending payments have the same problem.</p>
<p>This is what lets me think that Paid.vg turns out to be a real big scam! Unfortunately I have to tell you that, my fellow readers. I know I have promoted Paid.vg many times (it has looked legit until the latest problems) and <strong>I feel really sorry</strong> to have done that.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t say for 100% if Paid.vg really is a scam, but at the moment it looks like it is. We have <strong>payment problems</strong>, <strong>deleted payment requests</strong>, <strong>deleted forum threads</strong> (some people reported it), a <strong>bad support</strong> (the ticket system is useless cause nobody answers your questions) and <strong>members often times don&#8217;t get their ordered referral packages</strong> or they get it far too late. For me this looks like money is flowing into Paid.vg, but unfortunately not out of it as it should.</p>
<p>I will keep this post until those problems get resolved by the Paid.vg staff and <strong>I encourage everybody, who didn&#8217;t get paid yet or feels scammed, to spread the word about this possible scam</strong>. I personally will write more scam warnings if it should really turn out to be one.</p>
<p>If you want to join a real good PTC site in the meantime, I would highly suggest you to join <a title="Bux.to - The best PTC in the world (really)" href="http://bux.to/?r=querblogger" target="_blank">Bux.to</a> (reff). This site, with over 3 million members, is legit and already tested by myself. It has a nice support and the best part is, <a title="I already got paid from Bux.to!" href="http://www.makingmoneyexperiment.com/2008/02/buxto-first-payment-received.html" target="_self">Bux.to really pays</a>!</p>
<p>Ciao,<br />

<p>On February 25th I&#8217;ve made my first cashout request on Paid.vg, a really good PTC sites comparable to <a href="http://www.makingmoneyexperiment.com/2008/02/buxto-first-payment-received.html">Bux.to</a>. I&#8217;ve requested $12.50 nearly a month ago, but so far I didn&#8217;t receive my payout. I&#8217;ve done some research in the forums and it seems some people already got paid the last days. I hope I will receive my first bucks too. My current account balance is now at $24, thanks to my 7 referrals who click eveyday. If it turns out that they really pay, Paid.vg seems like a very good money maker.</p>
<p>See you,<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>WARNING: Paid.vg turned out to be a scam site. Please don&#8217;t join this site, the following post is only left here to show you how easy it is to get scammed&#8230;unfortunately.</strong></span></p>
<p>As you may know, I´ve <a href="http://makingmoneyexperiment.blogspot.com/2008/02/paidvg-reached-minimum-payout-limit.html">reached the minimum payout limit</a> on Paid.vg some days ago. With help of my referrals I have $12.50 in my account balance and, at least in theory, I would be able to request my first payment. But it seems, with Paid.vg payments are somewhat complicated.</p>
<p>You can request your payments only once in a month, on every 22nd. So, yesterday was the 22nd and I logged into my account to do a cashout. But the system told me &#8220;Sorry, you can only request payment on the 22nd unless you are a premium member.&#8221; I tried it again and again, but everytime the same message. I rechecked the current date only to be sure if it really was the 22nd (and it was).</p>
<p>So, there are two possibilities. The first one could be, that Paid.vg has some serious server problems. Maybe something is wrong with their databases or something like that. I don´t know.<br />
The second one is, that they could operate from a timezone where there already was the 23rd of the month, e.g. Australia?! I don´t know.</p>
<p>I´ve sent a support ticket to the Paid.vg team yesterday, but I got no response so far. I hope they´ll give me a clear answer on this problem. For the moment I´m a bit angry, although it shouldn´t be a problem to wait another month (I was so happy to have reached the minimum payout <img src='http://www.makingmoneyexperiment.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  To make it clear, I won´t discourage you in <a href="http://paid.vg/id/querblogger">joining Paid.vg</a>, as it seems to be a very good money maker. I think the cashout problems will clarify!</p>
<p>I´ll keep you updated!<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">Querblogger</span></p>
<p><span><span style="color: #ff0000;">UPDATE 02/24:<br />
New infos from Paid.vg! They had some server issues regarding cashouts. The </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #ff0000;">cashout date</span><span style="color: #ff0000;"> is now moved from the 22nd to the </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #ff0000;">25th</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">! Seems, I wasn´t the only one with payout problems <img src='http://www.makingmoneyexperiment.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></span></p>

<p>Only 7 days after writing about <a href="http://makingmoneyexperiment.blogspot.com/2008/02/paidvg-approaching-minimum-payout-limit.html">my process on Paid.vg</a>, I finally reached the $10 minimum payout limit today! My <span style="font-weight: bold;">4 referrals</span> kept &#8220;working&#8221; for me the last days with a steady $0.30 each day. Now I´ve reached <span style="font-weight: bold;">$10.22</span> (that´s a total of 1022 ads clicked) and I´m ready for cashout. Thank you!</p>
<p>One problem I´ve only realized today was the payment policy of Paid.vg. Unlike <a href="http://bux.to/?r=querblogger">Bux.to</a>, where you have to wait up to 60 business days before receiving your payments, Paid.vg pays within <span style="font-weight: bold;">only 30 days</span>. But that isn´t the problem here, the real problem is that you can only request a <span style="font-weight: bold;">cashout on the 22nd of each month</span>, meaning I have to wait until the end of next week&#8230;I hope I won´t miss that date for some reasons, because than I have to wait another month again before requesting my cash. I also hope they´ll really pay me (and don´t scam me), I´ve heard from people getting paid within only one day <img src='http://www.makingmoneyexperiment.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Have a nice weekend,<br />

<p>After many days I just checked back on my Paid.vg account to see how my stats were going. I first had to provide a new payment ID (like Bux.to they have also migrated from Paypal to Alertpay), but nothing special so far.</p>
<p>But then I went to my account statistics and was completely amazed. My earnings are nearing the $10 minimum payout limit, I currently have around <span style="font-weight: bold;">$8.00</span> in my account. That kept me wondering, because I haven´t clicked that many ads lately. So I took a closer look and recognized that I had <span style="font-weight: bold;">4 referrals</span>, which brought me over $6.00 within the last weeks! Thank you for all that &#8220;heavy&#8221; clicking <img src='http://www.makingmoneyexperiment.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So I´m only <span style="font-weight: bold;">2 dollars away from requesting my first payment</span> from Paid.vg, let´s see if they really pay. Also I don´t like Alertpay as a payment option (I can´t withdraw money directly to my bank account), I´m still looking forward to receive that payment soon, at least I can use it to buy more <a href="http://makingmoneyexperiment.blogspot.com/2008/01/i-broke-even-on-buxto-investment.html">referrals on Bux.to</a> (my best money maker so far) or even at Paid.vg!</p>
<p>Regards,<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>WARNING: Paid.vg turned out to be a scam site. Please don&#8217;t join this site, the following post is only left here to show you how easy it is to get scammed&#8230;unfortunately.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Today I want to present you another nice paid-to-click site called Paid.vg, which works very similar to Bux.to and some other PTC sites I´ve already joined.</span></p>
<p>Some days ago my friend numb2k3 from <a href="http://incomeforeveryone.info">Income For Everyone</a> asked me to join one of his paying sites in the exchange of joining one of mine. He suggested me Paid.vg, a nice paid-to-click site. I accepted his offer and joined immediately (because I´m such a lovely person <img src='http://www.makingmoneyexperiment.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Now, after some time of testing this new opportunity, I can tell you some facts about it.</p>
<p>Paid.vg is a site that shows you paid advertisements. Each day you will be provided with around 7 to 10 ads you can click on. After each click, the advertised site is shown for around 30 seconds. When the timer goes to zero, you´ll get paid $0.01 (not that big bucks I know). So if you  click 10 ads each day, this adds up to $0.10 each day and $3.00 each single month (I know, it would be hard to do this on a regulary basis, so it´s just the &#8220;best-case&#8221; example).</p>
<p>So $3.00 per month doesn´t sound like a regulary income to make you quit your dayjob, but this isn´t the whole story. Paid.vg also offers a nice referral program. For each member you refer to them, you´ll  also get $0.01 for each advertisement they click. So imagine you have 100 active referrals (don´t scream, it´s really possible to have so many refs), and everybody clicks only 5 ads per day and does this for only 15 days per month, you´ll get $75.00 (sounds much better than only 3 bucks).</p>
<p>Actually it may be really hard to get many referrals, so Paid.vg also offers you to buy you new un-referred members. Each new referrals costs around $1.00 (the more you buy, the cheaper it will be), so if you get active ones it would be worth to invest that money because it pays of for the (not so) long term. You can even get more if you upgrade your membership, you´ll receive 20 ads per day each worth $0.0125 (this also goes for referral clicks).</p>
<p>Paid.vg also enables you to advertise your own website or blog. For $0.99 you´ll receive a minimum of 50 member views (and for &#8220;only&#8221; $1950.00 you´ll get 100,000 <img src='http://www.makingmoneyexperiment.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> . You can even start a banner ads campaign if you will.</p>
<p>You´ll receive payments after reaching a $10.00 payout limit. You can use your balance for advertising or withdraw your cash to a Paypal account, nice and easy.</p>
<p>So why did I say it´s &#8220;yet another Bux.to&#8221;? Because Paid.vg offers nearly the same services like the great Bux.to (one of my <a href="http://makingmoneyexperiment.blogspot.com/2007/11/my-best-paying-programs.html">best money makers</a> so far). You get paid $0.01 for each click with a nice amount of daily ads (on of the main reasons to join such sites, because you can make some good bucks). The referral program works nearly the same and you can also advertise your site. But it really doesn´t matter if both sites copy each other as long as one can generate good money with it <img src='http://www.makingmoneyexperiment.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Have a nice day,<br />

<p>PS: At the moment I´m heavily involved in soaking up everything about trading on the Forex market. I´m totally addicted to it (may be I´m crazy). Forex Trading seems like a great money making opportunity, you can read more about it in my <a href="http://makingmoneyexperiment.blogspot.com/2007/12/make-money-from-forex-trading.html">Forex article</a>. I´ll keep you informed about new stuff I´ve learned!</p>
