I've Finally Been Scammed!!

Tweet

As most of you know, I earn a little extra money on the internet doing surveys and signing up for the freebies on the pay to earn sites. I've shared a few of them with you that I've had good experiences with. I'm always reading about people getting scammed, and I considered myself lucky to have several reputable sites that I earn from, and always have gotten paid on time, etc. Well, now I'm really MAD! I got taken! A few weeks ago, I was on the computer on a Sunday afternoon, and found a site called "Cash Lagoon". Having never heard of it, or had experience, I was careful, and low and behold, I earned $10. I requested payment (two $5 pay-outs to my PayPal account), and I was pleasantly surprised when it was transferred the same day. They advertise as "cash pay-out in 24 hours" and that's what I got. Well, last Monday I was looking for a quick pay-out site to earn a few bucks to get me through til payday. I went to Cash Lagoon and I earned $10, and I cashed out. No problem, so far. I earned another $5 and $10 on Wednesday, and tried to cash out. $25 would have been a blessing at that time (my car needed a "drink" desperately, and payday was far off). Now it's Wednesday, and I still haven't gotten my FIRST $10. I get an e-mail saying they can't "verify my phone number" to transfer my money to PayPal, and I have to call a number and give them my phone number, address, and a code number. I think this is really odd--never had to do that before to get paid into PayPal, but I do it--TWICE. No response! I put in a "ticket"--no response. Next day I get TWO e-mails--one for the $5 and one for the second $10 I earned. Same thing, call the number to verify my phone number (??) I put in two more "tickets" and try to reply to the e-mail. No response. I went back in and added some complaints about their site, asked if they couldn't pay, why they were treating me like a criminal, etc., etc. I've kept on contacting them, and have had NO RESPONSE, except their e-mails about calling this automated number (where I ranted and raved a little bit, too). I have a horrible feeling that I'm out my $25! I'll keep hounding them with "tickets" and e-mails, 'cause they have really ticked me off! It's now five days since I tried to cash out the first pay-out, and still nothing--no answers--no replies--and NO money! Anybody else had this happen? Anyone had any experience with this site. BE WARNED--don't go to Cash Lagoon--they'll drown you! Hey, guys, thanks for letting me vent, and be careful with these "money making" sites.
