    I knew someone doing this last year, first of all there was a virus installed that he thinks was from this and secondly he said it just wasn't worth it to make 25p a day.

    I have heard of a few people setting up thousands of accounts doing this and making a lot of money but I think this would be fraud right? Because advertisers are paying for these searches.

    I don't have the answer for that as I imagine it would be different for everyone. You can cash out to PayPal regardless of the amount and they pay immediately.

    i dont say that qmee its a scma for evrybady .. its not working for me ... and the search was not one after other .. whaz normal search ..

    qmee full stop is not a scam for anybody. unfortunately you don't do very well out of your searches but that does not mean it is a scam.

    as i suggested previously if you are searching everyday and using google, try clearing your internet cache. you might find you get more paid searches.

    to set up thousands of accounts you would need multiple computers as qmee doesn't work on phones and tablets. It tracks via your ip, and is installed on your browser. so to have thousands of accounts would be extremely time consuming, and would involve cc cleaning their computer before using another browser installed with another account, I think they would be better off with a proper job, don't you :rotfl::cool:

    I think this is a slight exaggeration. This is qmee.... a search engine sort off that pays occasionally for searches.

    never had a virus of qmee and been doing it for years. you can get viruses from email attachments! and other apps. tell your friend to install free antivirus, antimalwarebytes, and run these weekly, that should help keep their computer virus free.

    I have to say since I've installed the QMEE extension Firefox has been almost moribond. I don't know if it's causation or correlation.

    Uninstall it and see if that fixes it. My Ff ground to a halt a while ago - it needed an update.

    I don't get much from Qmee but like Aesop it's not my only search engine but it's free money..

    I find if it hasn't seen a search for a few days, it is worth going to the icon and checking your balance, if it is grey with no total, it has logged you out and wont work till you log in again .

    I seem to get more success by searching on ebay and it finding links to amazon ,than I do by searching on amazon for the same thing,so I usually do that first even if I am planning to buy on Amazon.
