    I am registered on the 06/30/2010 radbud. I collected $ 30 with paid articles, but now I get free articles, I do not get just a few cents to about 5-6 days. Why? This site is a lie? Whoever happened to me?

    I assure you that is a big hoax .. Readbud Because I came to $ 31 very difficult. Between $ 1-20 items I got paid very often, I make almost $ 1 per day.And, when I reached $ 20, I began receiving increasingly fewer articles paid and increasingly more unpaid articles. so now I get almost exclusively free articles. I rarely send them paid articles. About 4-5 days I do about 10 to 15 cents. Then how can you say that Readbud not scam? It surely. They are swindlers fucking liars.

    Finally crossed $50 after a whole five months & cashed out. Waiting to see if (and when) I get paid. Readbud says payments can take upto 30days to process.

    Surprisingly if you want to check the status of your payout, there is no record on system showing the details of cashout requested.

    lol jmaria01 you mad? You mad? You mad.

    The site seems to employ alot of staller tactics. While it may not be a scam in the sense that it denies you cash, it certainly uses alot of underhand dealing. It certainly does NOT treat its customers fairly.

    It seems from a general consensus that the higher your balance the lesser articles/pay you get for them. An honest business would not need to treat their customers in this way.

    Additionally, the site has no community support, poor log in features and a lack of professional feel.

    While yes, some people would be paid by the site. Why? Well if the site did not pay, then the internet being the internet, word would spread really fast, and they would lose all customers/potential customers. They pay small amounts to keep people on their feet. Then they have these 1 or 2 people as well as there staff to go on google. They do exactly as alot of us may have done. Type up the words "readbud scam".

    Then they rely on their paid customers to vouch for them. Then their own staff posts to counter the argument. You will be surprised at the effectiveness of a few well placed posts. Why do I know this? I have studied psychological warfare and alot of underhand tactics. And I would not be surprised if this was employed. If I was a scammer myself I'd alias all over the place and stick up fake comments as "evidence" and "support" for my own scam.

    For the jmaria01 trolol,

    We're not here to rely on readbud for an income. Alot of us are probably very financially well off. Some others might just be the casual gamer wanting an easy to make ends meet while waiting on loading times. Some of us here also look into these potentially fail sites to study the degree of lulz and the responses of fail trolls such as yourself.

    As for those cashing out, keep in mind there could be other tactics, such as but is not limited to:

    - Delayed time
    - "Maintenance" (an all time favourite)
    - IP ban "at their discretion"
    - Somehow your acc disappears and their pw recovery never works.

    Good luck nonetheless. Personally? I have spent enough time studying this site. I have gotten my lulz out of it and know that to finish my balance (in the mid 40's) is not worth my time to click or my bandwidth.

    Is it 30 days since you cashed out ?

    In case I guess it does not matter as the status I guess is going to be same. Many are reporting that they have not been paid even after 30 days.

    Hey guys i agree with most of you that readbud is a S-C-A-M SCAM!!!!!!!!!When i earned upto 48$ it said that articles were not available..... Ok i take it next day too?? even the other day. After a month i logged in i was shocked to know that "PAID ARTICLES WERE NOT AVAILABLE..."

    If u guys wanna earn money then u can sign up in this site http://www.neobux.com/?rh=497266616E736F6E753534
    This is a legit and not a scam site as readbud
    "SO HAPPY EARNING GUYS AND HAPPY SCAM DETECTION"
