Howdy anitajewelz1-ga,
Please don't shoot the messenger on this one, but it does not appear you
will get paid. So far, I have found lots of complaints about this and
other sites that appear to be operated by the same people, but have not
seen anyone claim that they actually have been paid.
Various postings with complaints can be found here on the Scam.com and
the Rip-off Report web site.

This Webmaster Key Discussion Forums message base has six pages of
complaints about them.

Some digging around with the "whois" service at eNom.com found some of
the following web sites, including yours, that appear to be operated by
the same people.

On this one, they didn't bother to change the text from "Profit-Sites.com"
even the web address is "websiteassistant.us."

There are other sites I have seen referenced as being run by this same
group, but you get the picture. In reality, all of the above "different"
web sites appear to be just one web site, at least the "works" of the sites
is the same.
Some bad signs from the information above. The address and the zip code
do not match up. The United States Postal Service (USPS) web site allows
a person to look up the zip code for an address.
http://www.usps.gov/
1442 E 52ND ST
LOS ANGELES CA 90011
1442 W 52ND ST
LOS ANGELES CA 90062
Another bad sign is that the email address for several of the sites is
listed as "WebsiteAssistant@hotmail.com." I do not know of any large
legitimate company that would have a Hotmail email address.
A Google search on the phone number "877-576-1500" shows that it an
answering service, which again, does not make sense for any large
legitimate company.

I might suggest you stop all payments to them immediately and seek
refunds on any payments that you have made, through the payment company
that you used.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar
Crime Center (NW3C) have a web site, the Internet Fraud Complaint Center,
where you can file a complaint if you desire.
http://www.ifccfbi.gov/
"IFCC's mission is to address fraud committed over the Internet. For
victims of Internet fraud, IFCC provides a convenient and easy-to-use
reporting mechanism that alerts authorities of a suspected criminal or
civil violation."
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but perhaps this will save you from
losing even more money than you might have already lost. Please also
remember, that if it looks too good to be true, it is.
If you need any clarification, please feel free to ask.
Search strategy:
Google search on: "dailycashsites.com"
://www.google.com/search?q=%22dailycashsites.com%22
Also did "whois" and other searches noted above.
Looking Forward, denco-ga - Google Answers Researcher |
