I find with most PTR sites in general, it’s not rocket science to figure out which ones are Internet scams. They either have an insanely high minimum payout, overly lucrative earnings promises, a dodgy looking TOS (terms of service) or in some cases a combination of all three. If in the rare event a PTR site doesn’t have these things and I’m left a bit unsure of it’s genuineness there are always forum threads to look at.

Cash4Email doesn’t have any of these ‘internet scams signs’. There are only a very small number of forum threads, none of which contain anything useful. However, I am 100% sure it’s an Internet scam.

Why?
Because of this quote from the ‘Upgrade’ section:

“The quicker you upgrade, the quicker you start receiving un claimed referrals…lol”

It’s not a joke; the author of Cash4Email is openly laughing at the suckers he’s persuaded to upgrade. On the homepage it is openly shown that there are just 9 upgraded members. Upgraded members allegedly receive the benefit of having a $5 minimum payout (reduced from $10). $41 has been paid out, meaning even if none of the other 741 active members have been paid, only 8 of the 9 upgraded members have been paid at the most. This either indicates the program is struggling to pay it’s members, or it’s owner never intends to pay properly.

In addiction there is no FAQ. The page simply announces that there is a referral competition now on.

The site as a whole looks very unprofessional and tacky. Like most PTR sites that turn out to be Internet scams there are 5 levels of referral commissions below you with very low percentages of earnings (not that the earnings will be paid to you!).

Conclusion
The quoted phrase above reveals the owners unattractive attitude and explains why the whole site looks amateur (they are unprofessional). If in the very unlikely case some payments are actually being made, I’d say it’s still not worth the risk or effort.

Digg it, WTF? or Stumble it!
