    I have been registered to My search funds for about 3 months maybe. Racked up a few pounds but recently havent been able to sign in to my account to check funds etc. Keeps showing an error message although I know the details I have entered are correct. This has been going on for a while now so I will probably just un-install the search box & forget all about it. Sometimes things are too good to be true.
    Any help with this or similar stories appreciated.

    It changed to homepages friends on the 9/6/2008, and it is now powered by Yahoo, I don't know if this is your problem or not, try link below, just use your original email address and password.

    http://www.myhpf.co.uk/

    Go to top right corner, where it says already a member, sign in.

    If you have already swapped to HPF, it might be your account has been frozen for click fraud.

    I received my second payment from MyHPF yesterday - £45.
    Pretty well chuffed about that.
    Not entirely sure how they're making money as most of my clicked searches aren't through sponsored links, but as long as they keep paying out, I won't ask questions... ;-)

    Telling me about the sea..."

    I have requested my password be sent to my email address so many times and its getting really annoying now as I dont have any access to my account despite it having been used several times to find things. Any idea what I can do?
  • Hi,

    I've been using MSF for a few months now but over the last few weeks I've had a couple of days searches reduced to zero. I hadn't received any notification from MSF as to why this was (after reading this thread it appears people are informed by MSF if suspected of click fraud). After e-mailing them I got the reply of
    "Clickfraud department disallow searches if they are not normal"
    which I thought was a bit rude especially when my searches were perfectly valid!

    Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know what they could mean by "normal" and why they are removing my searches? They seem to claim there is no daily limit but on the two occasions my searches have been removed I did more searches than usual.
  • K ive been a member of MSF for abouts 8months now and ive still not recived a payment,ive sent them numerous emails without a reply and ive stopped usuing the site now but I do get emails asking why ive stopped usuing the site,the emails I send are to the address thats on the site thats ment for contacting thm but ive not had a reply,does any1 have any other ontact details for them or any suggestions how could get what im owed from hem?ive tried usuing paypal then changed to bacs but still no payment,any help woul be much appreciated.

    Hi, Ive been waiting for a payment for months and have had no response to my two emails ( used address [EMAIL="info@homepages-friends.com"]info@homepages-friends.com[/EMAIL] ). Have just emailed again and its bounced back as undelivered with the message "Recipient address rejected: Mailbox message count quota exceeded" so it seems their inbox is too full to accept anymore mails. Has anyone had a payment recently? Its a cracking scheme and I was really hoping my payment would come through in time for me to use for Xmas but it doesnt seem likely at the mo.

  • Does any1 have any other comtact details for them?
