ReviewStream: Caught Sharing Users Private Information!

A while ago I published an article about my personal experiences with Reviewstream - a company that offers users an opportunity to make money online but likes to do shady things when it comes time to pony up the earnings. Apparently Reviewstream saw my article and decided to retaliate by
 POSTING MY PERSONAL EMAIL ADDRESS all over the net! This is not only an INVASION OF PRIVACY but it also backs up my point 100% - this company is completely ridiculous! Who stoops to that low to broadcast their users private info? Could you imagine Associated Content, Blogger or any other reputable website doing this?!

Anyways, I suppose I should be thankful for the totally free publicity since they actually took the time to CREATE A WEBPAGE that calls me a liar. (The webpage even has my picture on it! LOL! Seriously!!! The best part is that THEY STOLE THE PHOTO FROM ASSOCIATED CONTENT! )

But I wanted to point out that I am by far NOT the only person who has had problems with this company. So here's more bad reports on Reviewstream. Since ReviewStream was kind enough to take the time to create a webpage about me and share my personal info with the world I will take the time to post snippets from every complaint so my readers know NOT to sign up with them.

"The web site gives no clue as to the physical location of the business. The US Better Business Bureau has no record of them. The contact e-mail address is reviewstream@yahoo.com."

"The web site says that it takes "up to 72 hours" to review writers' submissions, at which point the writer will receive an e-mail telling if submission has met the criteria for publication. The criteria are not listed on the web site."

"I submitted 9 reviews over a period of 6 days without response. When I e-mailed the company, the answer was in broken English saying that they were in the process of updating software. The next day, I started getting e-mails rejecting all but 2 of the 9 reviews I'd written."

"I'm not sure what these ReviewStream people are up to besides wasting my time, but I advise everyone else to skip it."

Reviewstream is a scam! they shut down my account and accused me of cheating just before my 50 dollar payout. and for a company with lousy grammar they sure can critique other ppl's writings..

and why do they have to have products, advertisements, or adsense up there to be legit anyway? perhaps they do things differently in other parts of the world. i'm going to remain optimistic until something does go wrong, but until then i'm enjoying writing for $50.00 easy dollars. it's helping pay my smaller bills. :-) if you're nice to people they're nice back. but again, sorry you had a bad expierence with them. doesn't sound like it was fun at all.

they do state that you can't copy your own work and put it on there for a review. and the payout is $50.00. it's not that hard to come up with a review fresh on your own if you really are a writer. i mean, seriously, it's a free, easy way to get money. and are you sure you guys weren't rude to them when you sent them your comments? just a suggestion. sorry you had all the troubles but they are working out for me just fine.

well, Im a new member of reviewstream and upon reading all the comments here, NIKKI's comment caught my attention, I checked out the link regarding TORI, cheating,,, and I can say that I should try reviewstream myself, cause it seems like tori really cheated thats why her account was closed.. Check this out>>> http://www.reviewstream.com/cheaters/tori.php

I agree with Poker S. I also was a review stream member and my account was also closed but only after i had written a review suggesting referals to their company. I am very angry with them and I wish I could spread the word against using them. i am glad Torry wrote this article and I am also glad that i am able to share this comment.

Yeah man o_O why don't you justify what they said on reviewstream.com about your cheating instead? You never said a thing about THAT. Just for the record, i got paid yesterday, over 100 USD. I was worried that it was a scam, but it is not.

By the way - that is really horrible! Any kind of PROFESSIONAL agency would have closed the account if they disagreed with the situation, not published your personal info on the internet. You should sue them.

The last few comments must have been made by Reviewstream because they all have really bad grammar.

Posted on 08/02/2007 at 1:08:00 AM

if you actually lokk at the page you will find that reviewstream has evidence to back up its allegations

Posted on 06/21/2007 at 3:06:00 AM

I'm agreed with reviewstream. Respect the Copyright Law, respect other authors and you'll not have such problems.
