Well, I have been a member of that website for about a week and now I am sure they are scam!
They just didN't update my search earnings more than 4 days but they say they are updated every 24 hours and today internet explorer showed a warning:
"There is a problem with the security certificates in this site. It is not recommended to use this website"
I am member of many websites and I never got this warning but only mysearchfunds do that. So please don't sign up or click for them!!!

hey anujain, what qualifies as a search that will give you money? if you just type in something random in the search box is that considered a search?

Well, technical problems do not mean that the site is already a SCAM! Though we must be careful in dealing with scams. I myself is a victim for many times. I am a member of MySearchFunds too and I have no problem so far. I have already reached the 20Pounds minimum.
I hope this one pays unline SMS.

i am sorry that i am going to differ from your opinion its either you are not really current with this site or you dont check out their information regularly,i remember that sometimes last week i got a message from them that they were going to be down for some days because they are trying to upgrade does that make a site a scam?i dont think so,anyway try and log in now and see if you still get the erroe message.they are fine,in fact i just used them now and its once and for all

So far I have had only positive experience. I am sure that it's not a scam, because I know for a fact that people have received their earnings normally. It´s also easy to use and practical.

mysearchfunds are not a scam they do pay their members and they are powered by ask.com so their a trusted site, they just had some tech dificulties but all is sorted now. i have almost £10 in earnings after using for about a week. will reach payout pretty soon

all of you need to calm down...mysearchfunds is not a scam. they did not update my earnings for a few days either..but when they did all my searches had been accounted for. so just relax sometimes technical problems occur but that doesnt give you the right to call it a scam. i am actually making a reasonable amount from my searches. here is my link if anyone is interested in joining

I think the site has a technical issue they need to sort out and we cannot call them a scam as yet. I agree that it looks tooo easy to earn on their site and I hope they do pay!

In fact this is not to hear because I had signed up for that site with lots of hopes but when I got that error message I was completely mad and I just wanted to share what I thought at that situation. Now I am not sure if they really pay or not, personally I haven't reached payout on them yet but we will see with the experiences of other users.

I'm also a member of MySearchFunds.
For the past three days, my earnings are not updated.
I received a message which says "SECURITY ERROR".
I already have 1.57 pounds in my account.
I think they are having technical problems.
I hope they are not a scam.

I checked again my account in MySearchFunds. My earnings are updated now... 1 got 2.89 pounds. I can also see my referrals earnings. However when I view the "Earnings in detail" link, I still go to a "SECURITY ERROR" page. Maybe the guys in MySearchFunds are still fixing that page. I hope they can fix it as soon as possible and I believe they are doing their best in it.
Do you want to join MySearchFunds? Check my profile for the link.

sadliy...I have to agree with you,guys.I have reached the $20 amount on september and now is march and I haven´t got my payement.I wish Mysearchfound were not a big scam...but some people say that they got paid...I dont know what to think about this

Yes, the minimum payout is 20 GBP (= approx $40 USD). Once you reach that amount by the end of any month you can expect payment 45 days later. For example, if your account shows at least £20 by 30 June, you can expect payment around the middle of August.
It is quite a long delay time but, for me, it tends to show that they are a responsible and reliable company because they must wait to be paid themselves by the search engines they use before they can pay their members.

Hey, i had the same problem as you. I joined mysearchfund for three days. Had like 36 searches but no earnings. I don't know what's the deal here.
I email them and tell them about my situation but unfortunately their email box quota had exceeded.

Look at your My Administration page. It states (in RED): " PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL SEARCH REVENUE IS ADDED ONE WORKING DAY IN ARREARS THEREFORE THE EARNINGS FIGURE IS NOT UP TO DATE."
Working days do NOT include Saturday, Sunday or UK Bank Holidays. You will see your account update after the weekend.
They have recently changed the Search Engine they use and also they have drastically revised the site and the name (to My Home Page Friends). Be prepared for some glitches while they put some new things in place but hang on in there and I think that you will find that it becomes a very usable and friendly site.

MySearchFunds is NOT a scam. It is quite a small business run by real people. The updates are done more or less manually every WORKING day (so weekends and Bank Holidays are not included).
The security certificate problems are not a big issue. From time to time your browser will warn you that it cannot verify a security certificate. This can happen for a number of reasons to do with the way the server sends out the information and, for a site which you have already visited a number of times, can be safely ignored.

I got to £20 at the end of May, so in mid-July I'll tell you guys whether or not I get paid.

mysearchfund is slow to update my earning, usually every several days. I earned over the minimum payout and hoping to receive my first payment in six weeks. Also, it's important to do legitimate search using the search box on the upper right hand of the browser.

i not sure that mysearchfunds or homepages friends is a scam. I just get about 9.80 pound sterling and i hope this website is not scam.

I don't think mysearchfunds is a scam. I am using mysearchfunds and i observed that the account is not really updated on a daily basis. In fact, I checked my account on a daily before and my earnings are not updated. But upon checking it on the 4th day, they have updated my earnings. Anyway, what is really the reason for you for joining the site? Is it to use for your searches or just plainly to make some earnings. Because I think you earn or not with mysearchfunds, it will just be fine because you got results from your searches anyway. The monetary reward is just secondary and an icing on the cake. Instead of using any other search engines that do not pay, it won't hurt you to use mysearchfunds since you will be getting good results with your search also. If they pay, that is very good. Then, that is the win win situation. You use their site for your needs and they pay you as well for going to their site.
