So confused about Ciao

Has anyone actually been paid by Ciao? I signed up for this months ago, and just recently decided to review some products. I reviewed probably 5 things (or so) and wrote up my opinions. Tonight, I logged into my account and it says my balance is $87.70. What the heck? Is this for real? I'm so confused. Last week, prior to writing up my reviews there was zero dollars there. I'm just so confused. I have been told by many that this is not a scam site, but now I'm not so sure. Anyone have any advice?

I just figured out where to see the break downs of your account balance. Apparently, me making my reviews "triggered" me getting my affiliate commissions from the last several months of me being a member. This is awesome! I'm going to request payment. I see that there payment terms are about 5 weeks, so we shall see if they really pay!

They said I "made too much" based on what I wrote. I don't even KNOW HOW i made what I made. I wrote them several more times about it, and now they just ignore me. It's a crock to me. I hope that if you use it they don't ban you or block you. What a waste of time for me. :(

Ciao is not a scam, it's a good site, I got twice payment from it, I guess it because your referrals, how many referrals do you have? You are lucky, don't need spend some time, your referrals can earn for you. That's good, I hope I can, but now, unfortunately, I can't login because of Blocked IP. Anyway, good luck to you!

Hi, But friend don't forget to make payment request soon. So many countries have been banned at present. If you too also be a victim then you will lost whole amount. Put a request before 30th of the month. Finally it's not a scam. It pays. But your mistakes may block your account too. Be passionate.
