    The police won't be interested.
    Wrexham Trading Standards are the people to contact.

    Holy shit guys... you'll never guess what?
    They have just paid me... on a Saturday too!
    They must just be very disorganised when it comes to paying people.
    I'm glad I stuck with them now.

    I guess, they just suck like Yahoo search sucks. Explains well enough why google rejected them. What a friendly service, ain't it? Anyway, as stated in other thread, will say the same here .. MyHPF can KMA!

    Regards.

    I haven't come by the forums for quite a while, but thought i would see what's happening here.

    I would just like to state that i have just received another payment from HPF, and to date have been very happy with the service. When i did have issues they were dealt with quickly, especially when considering how quickly the program has grown.

    Netproint, you talk rubbish, they have never had any deal with Google - and have never been "rejected" by them as you claim .. this has been discussed before - Google has 70%+ market share, why would they pay people to search - for yahoo though, with a smaller market share - incentivised search is proving to be a cost efficient way of boosting there user base.

    For those of you who are yet to reach payout, or are considering joining Homepages Friends is an excellent service, remember that criticism always comes louder that praise, and that it is repeatedly a number of individuals here who have recurring problems - perhaps it is through fault of there own- not the program.

    I am in no way affiliated with Homepages Friends, and recommend them on the basis of my own experience, which has seen me earn in excess of £120/$200, for simply searching like i always have.The company has an excellent track record alongside its charitable division (WhiteBox), which has enabled charities including Cancer Research, The British Legion, as well as 1000's of local organisations to earn millions by empowering their members to use there custom search tool.

    Hi Tom,

    No I'm not bulling around. I research on companies before I go hugging them. MyHomePage Friends was previously known as MySearchFunds and if you try opening domain mysearchfunds.com it redirects to Myhpf.co.uk
    Do a little research work. Myhpf had plans to show search results from 3 major search engines Ask, Yahoo and Google. Then something happened (I will let you figure what exactly happened), they now just have Yahoo search results. I can post 100s of links here where you can find information about MySearchFunds. I don't wish to get into further details about these people. If you wish to know why I am saying rubbish about them, you have to go check the other MyHPF thread and I have every bit reason to say that they suck. I wasn't even making 10 searches in a week but the delisted a WHOLE nation out of their program. Why? Are they so incapable of finding the bad guys and banning them? How about .. Google finds out too many fraudulent members in xyz country, lets go ban the whole freagin country. How would you feel about that? Isn't that Racism? Fine, let it be .. since you may be in UK, your account is still safe, so yes, you can say the whole world is bulling.

    I DELIVERED THEM MEMBERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD!!

    Enough said, if you still think I'm saying rubbish, then I have nothing more to say. I would rather wish you happy searching and better times ahead.

    Regards.

    I may have helped matters along by emailing them a few days before I received payment.

    I was quite sympathetic in tone - not combative. I said something along the lines of: "I enjoy using your service and I understand that the high take-up has probably taken you by surprise. In order for me to continue promoting MyHPF enthusiastically I really do need to see some payment."

    I've just got a mysterious payment of £127 from them :confused:


    tried to access/log into the site to find out if they'd unbanned me without bothering to let me know but they seem to have rebranded/repositioned themselves as "Supportingfriends" a 'raise money for charity by searching site'.

    The info page's confused though, goes from talking about how you can raise money for your chosen cause, to how much money you can earn for yourself by searching.
    Looks like they're randomly paying everyone on their list of old members they owe money to.

    I've been away for a couple of weeks, so forgive my apparent delay in responding.
    As Jenna says they are in the process of rebranding to "Supporting Friends", with the apparently virtuous idea of giving all search earnings to charity. An interesting idea - particularly as the cash will now be diverted away from those making the searches.

    I don't think they will give for charity anything, because they not paying to users (most of people get money after half of years), there is nothing clear.............

    Suffice to say I'm pretty unimpressed.
    I made hundreds of referrals for them and now I get nothing.
    That's a pretty shitty deal.
