Just this morning that I've found out that my account in Ciao had been deleted..Well, I have visited my account yesterday and I feel very happy because my earnings is already 30dollars.. I really don't expect that they will delete my account I had redeem my money last month January 30 and I'm waiting my money for February 15 since its in the process..My question is do you think I can still get my money even though they had deleted my account?? I'm so sad and disappointed because I really don't know the reason why they've deleted my account.. I already send a message in Ciao and I'm hoping that they will response soon and explain to me their reasons.. Do you think I can still get my money this February 15? I really hope that i can still get my money.. [em]confused[/em

I had heard that ciao is a scam. My account was kind of frozen - even though i completed a few surveys for them, my account was not getting credited. I checked up with a few online friends, and they told me they had similar experiences which made us believe tat ciao is a scam. I dont think any one of us were actually paid by ciao. If you were paid once, maybe we're wrong. But if you're not sure why they deleted your account, you can try "contact us" in their site, though im not optimistic about them replying back to you.

I already send a message to ciao this morning when I've found out that my account had been deleted.. I hope that they will reply to me soon.. I had heard many times already that ciao is a scam but there are so many people also who gave some proof that ciao really pay.. I don't know which one of them were telling the truth.. I think the reason why you're account were frozen its maybe because only few people rate,read or view your reviews that's why your earnings don't improved very well.. The ciao had changed already their rules in payments.. they don't pay when you make a review of a particular product just like before.. You can earn through read, positive ratings, and when people view your reviews.. You can also earn through your referrals.. If you have so many referrals then you would really earn faster in ciao.. I'm so disappointed of what I had found out this morning.. Until now I'm still thinking what rules I had been violated.. I hope I will still get my earnings..

Well, of course I can force you to continue in ciao since I have a bad experienced in this site.. If ever this is a Scam then I'm the unluckiest person to be not included in their chosen people.. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

I heard that ciao does pay - but only to a few selected people. Most survey sites are known to be scams - they pay a few to keep their reputation. Maybe what you're saying is right, but i didn't have a good experience with them when i was with them. So im not going to go back. I've found sites like mylot and a few others that's honest and transparent and great to work with. Happy mylotting.

I have to say that I doubt you will get your money now =( Not if they've deleted your account. Don't you know why they deleted it? Maybe if you knew that, you might be able to contact them about it. You should complain though, it isn't fair that you should lose this money just because they decide to take your account away from you.

hi telecinese! Oh?? Did you asked Ciao how did they know that you were using multiple accounts?? How could they possible know that?? I hope ciao is really telling the truth and they were not just making reasons.. Did they show you some proof?? Well, I also don't know how to help you to show them a proof that you were not using more than one account.. anyway, thanks for sharing!

I can't really tell since it will be Ciao's decision. I just hope they will respond real soon so that you will not go on thinking what happened and what will happen next. If you didn't do anything that violates their terms then you should get your money.

I don't think you will be responsible for your referrals actions. They might encounter a slight problem with their payment processor wherein other sites do encounter as well. Hoping for the best for you! =)

Being honest kissie..CIAO seem to delete a lot of peoples accounts willy nilly that I know of so think it will be luck of the draw..don't be surprised if you are not paid but for your sake I hope you will be...they owe it to you...littleowl

So, it means that there is a possibility that they had just deleted my account because they just want too?? oH! if that is true then I must be a very unlucky person in this world.. I hope they still give my money...

Hi kissie34. First of all, I feel sorry about your case. I am a new member in CIAO. I just read another Discussion that talks about CIAO. Someone said that rating reviews of the same person more than 5 times a day already against the rule. Do you think you have violated this rule? I ask because I think this is so easy to rate more than 5 reviews for the same person unless I have read clearly the terms and FAQs...

Honestly, I don't really used to rate other people reviews since I like more to write a reviews than rating or reading other people works.. That is why I had only 30 friends in my account since I don't usually read and rate their reviews unless I'm in my mood.. Well, I have once rated one of my friend reviews more than 5 in a day since she asked me a favor.. I didn't know that its one of the violation.. Do you think that's the reason why they deleted my account?? But I have done it once and only to one friend...

Well, you can still try if you want but its just make you feel bad when this situation will come.. Ciao is a great site to earn money but I'm really not expecting that this will happened.. Actually, it would be my first time to get my money if they still going to paid me on my previous works.. I really hope so that I can still get my money even though my account had been deleted..
