Work-online org.uk is a scam site

sorry but i have to disagree.. well, i just requested a money transfer so ill let u know if i get it.. but out of the 35 stories ive submitted only 3 have been rejected and the three had several stupid mistakes which they allowed me to correct.. i enjoy that site, but am hoping the money is transferred...anyone having trouble with that? Also, how many dollars are equal to a pound?

Actually, I don't think they're a scam site. However, I do think there are some flaws in their set-up. What I think has happened is they've launched the site without preparing themselves for the overwhelming response they'd receive from people keen to make money. I did wonder how they'd be able to keep afloat financially and I guess the pay decrease and tightening up of the quality of the stories they receive is their way of remaining sustainable. I don't agree with how they've chosen to deal with it - there are other ways I feel they could have tried that might have been far more beneficial for everyone concerned. However, just as they get to choose what they want to do with their site, I get to choose whether I want to remain on there or not and as it stands now, I'm moving on once I reach payout.

I do not think that it classes as a scam site just because they lowered their payments. Besides, if you are a person who enjoys writing stories, and not just trying to make a heap load of money of the internet, then it doesn't really matter how much they pay you. Also, surely it is much better to have a slightly lower payment for the stories and to work your way up to the higher payments, as it teaches everybody about the importance of hard work, and stuff like that. In response to your second accusation, I have written twenty stories for work-online.org.uk, and only one of them was rejected. They DID notify me about it, via e-mail, and I was able to go back and fix up some of the silly spelling mistakes that I made. Finally, to your last claim, I'm sure more than just '1 or 2' members get paid, and generally the ones that do get paid are the ones who enjoy writing and have written well.

thanks for information

I really doubt they are a scam, as they seem like a worthy site to trust. However, I do feel they are tricky in the way they are reducing payments, but this is life, and everyone gotta make the money. If their goal is to use our articles to sell to people at rates like $0.01, then they are a type of fraud, such as pyramid scheme in the way we are getting paid pennies for them to sell at dollars. I highly doubt they are a scam, although I am losing their trust. I haven`t even closely reached payout, and don`t know if I will stay, as $0.50 an article 400 words is not worth it as, people re buying at $0.01 per word. All I can say is watch out.

Hello Tina, When I first stumbled onto the site, I was a little attracted with the payout - 25p per short story. I'm not really a fiction writer but I can always try to write. I read their TOS and the first thing that came to my mind was where do they get the money to pay their writers. They claimed that they are collecting short stories from all over the world for research purposes but how do they earn? There will come a time when they won't be able to pay their writers and start to reject submissions as is happening now from the comments I've read here. I don't know if I should waste my time on this site.

This site was a legit site as i also got paid some times and now also i am just $0.5 away from payout, but it just says to complete the rejected stories list and i don't get any new stories to complete and that is just frustrating and now i also feel it has gone out scam as till now it was good and proof was myself as i got paid by them quite a few times

Oh my God!actually I was about to sign up with this site because it sounds good that we have to earn by writing articles. Well, thank you for having this information and hope to find some good and legitimate sites for my writing talent. God bless!

Wow I can't believe that they are a scam site. They seem like a very legitimate site for people who love to write to earn big time. I really have just registered with them. And was just about completing some few stories before I decided to do an online search only to come up with this. I really wish they are legitimate.
