MySearchFunds-to Homepage Friends to BAD

United States
June 10, 2008 6:55am CST
Well, I was fine with MySearchFunds and fine with them changing to Homepage Friends. However, I lost almost all my earnings in this move. I went from having over 15 pounds to having less then 1 pound. This is frustrating. So, I "e-mailed" them and found that the e-mail address listed on their site doesn't work. I thought I messed up so I went back. They had a phone number on their site which is now gone and I tried the e-mail address and it was certainly not my error! I think I am finding out that Homepage Friends is just all bad!

I just checked my earnings summary and it still shows 1332 searches = £32.67 earned. I don't understand how yours have been reduced to one pound. Did you email from the 'contact us' link on the site? I hope they can sort this out for you. I don't like the new name but I think there will be more opportunites for earning from the site when it is all set up.

The e-mail listed under "contact us" doesn't go anywhere. I got a failure to deliver notice, both times I did it (went back and recopied it since I figured it was something that I did).

that's weird... I have used it for 3 months now and everything seems fine to me, although I once had a small problem and they did not reply my message. Anywyas my problem was fixed after a week so I am fine with it. It happen a few times that they reduced my daily earning, because they say I may be cheating and stuffs like that. Probably because I made too many search sometimes, but that's pretty normal for them that often use search engine.

Talk about the new changes. With my old account, they have not paid me yet for the month of May.. Since their site changed, I have seen no money.. Yet it is still in my account of what they owed me. It is telling me that they owe me this amount. But yet no payment has been made to me. I have emailed them constantly. But they never respond back..

According to their payment schedule, May's earnings would be paid out in July (I think). It is either 30 or 60 days back. This lets them check for fraud longer. I just am hoping that the money shows up back in my account :(

That is awful. I was a little pissed as I lost a few pennies, but that is nothing in comparison to your lose. I have not earned anything since the switch either. I doubt it will be as popular now that it has changed.

You will find that the 'loss of your earnings' is just a glitch. They will come back in a day or so (if they haven't already). I think that they have had a number of changes along with the change of name. I researched the site, the owners and their background extensively. I believe that they are a very legitimate and conscientious business with a lot of potential. I am sure that they will pay, though they may need to revise their pricing a little as time goes on. The 'brains' behind the site are, apparently, two brothers in their late teens. As far as I can see, they have family connections which mean that they have a very good grounding in sound business practice. One of the things that gives me confidence is the quite long payout delay. It means that they are aware that one has to wait for the money to come in before one can pay it out. The other thing I like is the clear and fair pay structure. It's easy to understand that they pay out approximately 67% of their revenue to members (50% + 10% + 5% + 2.5% = 67.5%). That seems to me a very fair percentage.

Well, this sounds sad. Many people were making quite a bit on Homepage Friends aka Mysearchfunds, and if they turn out to be a scam, it is really too bad. I was close to making 2 pounds there. I dunno what has happened to it. I guess I have to log in and check out. Cheers and happy mylotting

I'm disappointed when they make it as a homepage, I like the way I use mysearchfunds before. I guess I really have to make adjustments, my earning are not that good by now because this search engines kinda slow browsing. I guess this is only trial and error to them. You've got to notify them with your eraning, I think I lost a single cents the other day. I just observe this if its happen again.

Hi aiden, That was just not right that you lost all your earnings there. I still have not checked my account there for a long time. But I dont had lots of searches so figured out my earning will only be a little one.

i'm sorry to hear about your bad experience with mysearchfunds website... i am not a member of that site and i don't know what is happening... sorry, can't help you much... i can only wish that you will be able to fix everything with the admin and get your money back... good luck and have a nice day...

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that. That's too much--15 to less than a pound. I don't know what went wrong with your account. But I hope you will get to contact them soon. I noticed the change only yesterday and found my earnings still intact. I think what you are experiencing is similar to mine with ReviewStream. Others can submit reviews without a fuss while I can't even if I had already emailed them. This is strange really.

That is not fair for you... i also encountered the new mysearchfunds homepage... but i did not encounter any problems with my earning... maybe because the email i used is yahoo... but what i don't like is that i can't find the news search button... that is the only thing i use mysearchfunds for... and if it is not available... the i don't think i will use it anymore...
