    They suspended my account a few days ago but my earnings and referral earnings have just now magically appeared under "My Bucks", go figure. Are they going to unsuspend me now?

    Well that's alright archbob I hope you get paid, see all these ppl jump to conclusions, they're new and it's always a risk, if you're not prepared to take a risk and loose some $$$ then wait it out until next year when they're proven.

    Yes, we take a risk, but if we end up losing all your earnings, sure we lose, but it also means they are a scam.

    Non-scams are people who actually pay me - unlike widgetbucks.

    I had also ~600$ on October and ~500$ for this month - November...

    I have signed-up with the site, they reviewed and approved it and nothing was wrong... But today I have received an e-mail stating that my site is NON-ENGLISH so they suspended my account.

    I mention that when I have signed-up there was nothing in their Terms & Policies to specificy that NON-ENGLISH sites are not allowed. They have modified and added this item one week ago I think... And I haven't received any warning or something like that.

    We should do something really quick because Widgetbucks will earn very very much money from us.
    Just think about this... If we let this happen anyone can start their own site and claim they are an ad agency, offer a big CPC and in the end suspend most of the accounts... What do you think about this?

    In my point of view, widget bucks waits untill you get close to payout and then suspends you. Then take the profit and run.
    They probally make so much money from doing this...

    I got banned for click fraud. But I removed ads from my site 3 weeks ago, all I had was >20 referrals and earned a few bucks from them. Maybe they banned me because one of my referrals clicked on its own ad :)

    Has anyone that has gotten suspended can still log into their account and have their earnings appear under "my bucks", or am I the only one?

    Maybe they just sent me a suspension e-mail and didn't really suspend me or something. LOL

    By the ways, the 3 that said they've gotten paid are lying, no one has gotten paid yet, its not scheduled until Dec 15th.
