    Have you ever felt so helpless? Last year I opened an account with bubblews.com I worked hard into the night to create traffic for the articles I posted. There was a delay of four months in payment. At the beginning of the year, the management sent us an article to inform us that they will not pay us after all.

    I am really sorry about that Muthoni, but you should have been warned that the site is a scam. What is the justification to say why they won't pay?

    Sorry for that Muthoni. I can relate to that. I worked online for someone. I normally don't accept jobs that take over a week to complete but I took this one anyway. I expected to earn enough cash to buy numerous Christmas gifts for people I love. But the moment the project is completed the client VANISHES from the net. Doesn't respond to emails. Isn't on Skype anymore. I let it go. These things happen. You can threaten to sue the bastards but apart from that, there isn't much you can do. Don't allow yourself to wallow in self-pity. Spring right back up and do other productive things that will earn you more than you lost.

    There seem to be just one site around that pays quickly and it is Postloop, the maximum time to be paid is 24 hours. You are paid in even an hour at times depending on the time of the day you request payment. The delays with payment is something that no worker enjoys and the owner of these sites should know this as well. To wait four months to be paid is unheard of and tardy on the part of those employer.

    I'm sorry that happened to you, Muthoni. It really IS so depressing to have to work so hard, only for your hard work not to pay off. And it's even worse because before the final announcement that you won't be paid, there's all this waiting and waiting and waiting and you just end up hoping you'll get your hard-earned money soon but it never pans out.

    I do hope you don't stop trying though because there are legit sites out there who do end up paying. Hope you get the motivation to continue soon! Good luck with your future endeavors!

    I think it happens once in a while to everyone when you work online and have never met your client. I think it is best to review the site before joining it. I think it is best to atheist ask someone about the site before joining it. I hope you never encounter such a situation again in your life.

    I must admit that they paid us very well in the beginning. I introduced so many of my friends because it was easy to make money with them just sharing about our daily life. It just broke my heart because I believed in their goals to make a better world for all of us. They said that fraudulent activities had been committed by some users and could therefore not pay us.

    Isn’t it sad that there are people like that? They have no conscience and will do anything to profit by taking advantage of others. I felt hurt because we had established a community that I enjoyed interacting with.

    One of the owners of the site posted an article about being selfish to accomplish goals in life. I think that it was just so cruel to keep us hopeful that we could be paid eventually. I know it is water under the bridge but the wound is still sore.

    A friend of mine referred this site to me because he had been paid for a long time on that platform. They paid us so well in the beginning that I became completely addicted. They have not closed our accounts but wants us to continue participating on the site ignoring the unpaid arrears.
