In my profession I am on the computer a lot, therefore it is usually no trouble for me to test out all sorts of online supposed money making sites; such as Paid to Read E-mails, blogging for money, and the list goes on and on. Most of the Paid to Read e-mail sites or PTR sites have a high cash out rate non-paying members must reach before seeing money come their way. The payout number for the site www.ugains.com is a mere $2 however and I reached that number in a timely fashion. Well I am writing this just to state: I wasted my time.

Ugains similar to most PTR programs e-mails you links to advertisers who have paid them for promotion, which in general means that in order to receive credit for reading the e-mail you must click on something within the ad. Most of the ads sent are basic "search engines" and in order to actually get credit for visiting you have to search for something and then even click on one of the results and view that page as well. No stranger to this system I made sure that with each Ugains e-mail I followed the instructions and supported everything as was intended.

Once I reached the $2 mark I decided it was time to test the site and see if they would really pay. I opted for the $2 payout and it was subtracted from my earned balance and I was informed that the payment would show up in my Paypal account 2 days later at the maximum. If a person has not heard from Ugains after a week to ten days then it is suggested to contact them with their specified form requesting the payment. After 10 days I used the form exactly as they stated and waited some more. After 21 days I resent my information and request.

Ugains never responded to my request. I did not receive a dime and now I post this article as a mere warning for anyone out there who may be using their services and have not reached pay day yet: you may be wasting your time. I don't know what experiences other people may have had with Ugains, however I can add them to my list of non-paying sites.

They claim they have paid me 6 times - most recently on July 4, 2008. Have NOT RECEIVED A DIME and they do not answer emails. Stay away from them - they are a scam!!!!!

I've the same problem with ugains. Asked for a $2 payout, mailed them, asked again, but don't hear anything. Looks like a scam to me.
