    Flyupload.com is a scam ....

    I got the message "Your account was blocked by Admin" when I requested payment of $114.

    My account was not blocked before . They blocked it as soon as I mailed them about the payout .

    I cannot prove it bcoz they have already blocked my account .

    I mailed them but they didn`t give a proper reason for blocking my account .

    I would`nt flag a website as scam if they pay me ..

    I not so sure I want to believe you. there are always two sides to a story. you must have breached something in their terms of service for this to happen. what did you do?

    Mate, why would someone download freeware from your links when the freeware is free for download from official site? :)

    Probably they don't use a phone... Every time I want to work someone first I check if they list phone nr, Address, etc. then call them and see if they say Hello, this is <company> how may I help you...

    scam sites never display that info.

    I got $20 from flyupload a week ago. It took only 3 days after my payment request.

    StreetCat might did something against their rules. These kind of sites use tools to catch users who try Illegal means to increase number of downloads or go against IP, DMCA.

    I am still using 'em and hopefully will continue to do so.

    BTW techCrunch has this to say about flyupload.

    here is someone who works for flyupload ... this is his 1st post ... he came here just to promote them ...

    @bigjoe ..
    run back and tell ur administration that they r unfit to be in file hosting business ... and the link u have posted is just a review ... it shows nothing about the payments ...
