Today one of the websites i joined in an atempt to help make a a few extra bucks is drastacly changing things. A ccording to this e-mail from them It will no longer pay its members to use the site like it had been. Hello, I want to call your intention to a very important update at IM Report Card that took effect moments ago. When IMRC launched last year, we really needed as many people as possible to participate so the site could get enough reviews, comments, and grades to be useful and meaningful. So we devised the credit system as a method to incentivize people to come to IMRC and use it. As you know, we also allowed people to "cash out" their credits for cold hard paypal cash. Today we are revising the credit-based incentive system. You can no longer cash out your credits for cash. Unfortunately, we just had too much fraud when cash was involved. Instead, you will be able to earn status icons based on your credits earned, and will be able to use your credits as virtual currency to purchase some selected internet marketing materials, or gain access to certain internet marketing sites that you would normally have to pay to access. We're still working on rolling out this revised system so there are no other details to share right now. Rest assured, those hard-earned credits will still have value. In addition, we've also added a new free eBook on the homepage to encourage people to become members. All current members like yourself can download the ebook from the IMRC homepage simply by entering your name and the email address that received this email. You should be able to click a link to download that eBook immediately if you are logged in. We really appreciate your continued participation as a member of the IMRC community and hope you continue to use the site often. The information and accuracy of the comments is going to get better and better by eliminating the cash incentive, so the site should provide even greater value to you going forward. Feel free to email us at support@imreportcard.com. All the best, Adam Based on this information, do you think taking away cash ensinsitives is a good thing? Or, would it drive you away? I already had troubles with the site, seeing as how it was harder for me to earn on it. I hadn't even reached "payout" yet. and, now after this I'm not so inclined to go back. With other rommors and things i hear about ptcs in general... it makes me think about the future of online earning. What are your thoughts?

This would read put me off and if I had already joined, it would really make me want to stop using the sites. The changes they've suggested are big changes, and basically, it looks as if they're just trying to save money, make it difficult for the users o make money and poket all the profits themselves, I would stop using the site...

This type of online earning has had sites come and go for many years. I know, I tried many of them and lost untold hundreds of dollars when each one closed.

Maybe they just couldn't afford to pay their members anymore because many people did just write fake reviews on it to get some cash. Still that is not very fair to start changing it up, but such is life.

The IMRC imposed ban on the members of certain countries including my country. The reason for that they raised was many people are fraudulent from these countries. Then I thought that the mentality of the admin and team is not correct. If people from countries are found erring, they have to be removed from the register. That is the right thing. It is not correct to blame the countries and insult it's whole population. Now you are realizing who are fraudulent.
