It looked like a nice honest site, I signed up, an hour later it sends me its first email, I clicked on the link and *pow* my account is suspended.
I sent a note to support to ask and they tells me I did something illegal! Translate that into " You perform a search which is not allowed of people from your country."
I was frankly shocked! I am member of many PTR sites, most of them disallowing the search function from people of my country. I know well enough not to do that. I wrote back to tell this John person that I did not do anything remotely like what he said I did and he sent me a "nice" email to read the TOS because I obviously didn't and was doing all kinds of illegal stuff he said I mustn't do on his nice little site.
I am indignant, really. I am no newbie and I most certainly do not like the god almighty way he dispose of me!
Now I can't cancel my account and he won't reply me further after I asked him to delete my personal details. What a nice pool of mud I stepped into.

I am a member of Fishing4Mails for almost one year. I do not do the search mails though. I have never had any problems at all with the site and have been paid several times.
Some sites work well for some people and for others they do not. Sorry to hear you had problems there.

I have been paid three times. There is no minimum payout and you can request every 30 days. I let it add up and request payment when I have a 'round' sum. This is a long-standing trusted site and pays through Paypal.

Yes, I heard they are a long standing site with a good reputation. That is till I have a taste of the kind of support they offer.
For one, I do not appreciate being accused of monkey business-ing around their site when I have done nothing. As if to add salt to the injury, they have to press on with that accusing tone. Benefit of doubt apparently do not exist in their dictionary.
I would have be happy if they stop accusing me after I said I done nothing. I wasn't even demanding to reactivate the account at that point and I most certainly would not want to have anything to do with them ever.

These things make life much tougher and lose inception. I too had similar things with couple of sites. they more embracing than this though. it used to be fine untill I am about to reach payout but once I was near about TOS used to change. they wont pay or site has been suspended. All these are quite in the online game I believe. how good it would be if all these kind of sites has under some regulatory body
