I can tell you that it is not a scam . I have gotten paid from it once already. Two things i would like to mention that may clear the air:
1. It took me about 3 weeks to get the payment but i did get it in my PayPal. 3 weeks after I requested cash out i got it.
2. The biggest gripe i have heard is the article availability. When i first started i was getting very few articles. i found out that it was the interests i selected. So what i did was i worte down all the ones I chose and waited for articles. At the top it shows what interest that article came from. So each day for a week I marked how many times each interest brought up an article. After a week, i knew that 15 of the 50 interests i had used were actually giving me articles, so I chose different one for the ones that did not give me anything. You will eventually have a good ratio if you do this for about 3 weeks. Now i am getting about 10 to 20 articles a day which is coming out to a dollar or so a day.
I wish you luck and hope you have better luck with it. But i can say I did recieve one payment from them in my Paypal, it just took 3 weeks.

I am working on digging it up in the records now . I got it like 2 months ago , but I am presently close to cashing out again , thanks to some of my referrals cashing out. So i will look for the old one but if I have to I will come back and give you the new one. I hate the way Paypal keeps your payment history! lol

Oh I completely understand that . You know there are programs that have been around for years and years that are truly truly fail proof and honest. ReadBud has been honest so far but that does not mean anything Moola used to be honest to but now there are people waiting for 100 dollar cashout for a year now me being one of them. They are telling us we have to go their new site Called "Locationary" and sign up there and help them out to get paid the profits you have already earned. ReadBud is okay are they completely solid?? Hit me up after they been in buisness 5 plus years and I will know more then.

No one here has gotten paid for what they have worked at Readbud. Certainly this site is a proven scam and you should rather get away from that site if you don't want to be another victim. Here is an evidence that this sight is a scam, if you care to read this link then it would help you http://www.bukisa.com/articles/323273_readbud-get-paid-to-read-articles-a-certified-scam
Have a nice day!

Yes it is true if you do not take the time to read their article and you just rate it as soon as you open it without reading, your cheating. If you go look at your "article history" it shows how loing you spent reading that article if it is 3 seconds long instead of the proper time you will be called a cheater and they wont pay you. I have heard of that from time to time, I been trying to find it in my paypal records and if i can get it I will furnish it for ya.

Well its not just that. When I give my support for a program it is usually because they have been consistent for quite a while I am sorry you had problems with readbud and to be honest, they do have alot of glitches that come up and I believe their time settings for some of these smaller articles is baloney. I think there rules on how long articles have to be open to not be cheating is kinda strict. But i follow the rule if it is 6 cent article it gets 6 minutes of my time . So far I have not run into the problem of them saying I a cheating by not spending enough time they believe to be enough for raring said article.

I am not sure.
Most people said it is a scam but I am trying it out on my own. I have only accomplished $15 bucks so theres a long way to go but it doesn't require much time on the site.
