I have completed all 26 offers and they said i should get £1255, only £290 of that money had been validated. I emailed them and explained the situation and asked when I will be getting the money I am owed and they said it could take a few months to validate it all so I have to wait. I emailed them back asking if I could get my £290 that has already been validated and they have no emailed me back since and nothing has changed on my account. I am very angry that people can do this all I was doing was looking for an extra bit of money for my baby

I'm a member. I've completed 18 offers and should get just over a £1000 so far but only £270 has been validated. I've emailed them because I know one offer won't be validated. I've had no reply. It seems that you've to spend money in a lot of cases. I won't be bothering. Unfortunately because one of the offers I took was to get ywo friends to sign up I've advertised it in a few places I won't be doing so any more.

Me and my boyfriend both signed up for paid offers and finished it. I'm up to £255 so far. I don't no when u get paid or if u do. We didn't complete all of the tasks as we don't have the money to sign up for all the offers. By the sound of it we got off lucky. The spam and the cold calling is realty annoying though. Do we get our money or not. If not we just wasted 4hours for nothing.

Something you should know:

All the ads that "Paid Offers" asks you to sign-up for offer a commision fee between £0.03 - £15.00 per completed ad. I know that to be a fact, because use them on some of my sites.

So the question is...

How can "Paid Offers" give you a cut of £0.03 - £15.00 that adds up to £50.00 - £150 per completed ad?

It's a con guys.

The idea behind this type of marketing is numbers. The more people who complete the forms, the more money for the marketer.

Thank you everybody for this valuable information. I have signed up with Paid Offers and I was just about to complete the first task which was to enter a competition to earn £50. I knew there was something not right about it. For all you people who have completed the tasks and offers and not been paid, you should file a complaint against Paid Offers with the Financial Ombudsman and Trading Standards and also the Office of Fair Trading. I hope you do and maybe you will receive some sort of payment after the Ombudsman does an investigation.

I don't think the FOS will be interested, unless they've suddenly started regulating dodgy "paid to" sites.

Don't use Paid Offers. Dont be scammed. They are only interested in collecting your details. All their promise is never possible with the way their system works. You will be asked to enter your card details to pay 10 pounds to play Bingo and many more lottos. you will aslo be asked to apply for credit cards. Apply for lovefilm to become member. Apply to one company for credit check which you will be paying monthly after 30 day trial, Also you will be asked to take life insurance. And with just a single click, you have entered into agreement with those companies. No time to think about it. It is just useless. Because after I did pay 10 pounds for bingo, i have also been sent letters from some of those companies that there is agreement btw us that i am now in contract with them. The money they promise will never come as you can never be foolish to accept all their offers and payment can only be paid when ALL the offers are validated. I have just unsubscribed and cancel my membership with them.
I will give their website -5 (minus 5) star.:(

I registered on paidoffers aboit a week ago and racked up 1255 quid with 350 pending. Im only on offer 8/9 and they say an average payout is 1500. Working on thosevfigures i should get in excess of 3000 pounds. Which is bollox to be honest. If the bald headed !!!!! wants to scam me i will personally drive to maidstone which is just dwn the road from me and smash his face in and make him delete everybodys details off of every website he runs.
