I heard of this site here in myLot and I joined. After making reviews(won 58$)I saw the announcement: REVIEW RATINGS PAYMENT CANCEL I didn't want to think that this is a scam too. I think this was the last I joined. I don't trust this sites anymore.

Before you saying something not good you should have read the announcement why it has been removed and what's happening around the site already. They have removed it because members are abusing this feature and just keep on rating reviews inappropriately without even reading it. What would you do if you found a review with 1 or 2 words only and have been rated as very helpful? How could you make a review on electronics or tech gadgets with 1 or 2 sentences only or much worse is 1 or 2 words. So it is just right and appropriate.

Yeah, they decided to cancel rating payments due to abuse. You should still have all the money you earned for writing reviews, though. Normally it really makes me suspicious when sites suddenly change their terms and conditions or take back payments, but in this case Comparedby.us is under so much pressure from so many morons I think the site had to make changes in order to survive. In truth I don't think they should ever have paid for ratings and short reviews, just for long reviews that are not plagiarized. Perhaps they should even implement some type of limit on the number of reviews a person can post in a day or month so those people who write ten fake reviews of products they don't actually own a day could be stopped.
