To Fummo or NOT To Fummo?

If there’s a blogosphere, there should also be a term like blogomaniac, which refers to me – Alfa Mercado, the temp blogger for this great Internet income blog. I’m a certified blogomaniac (I maintain no less than 7 blogs, JMMO’s the 8th) from the Philippines. No, this is not an April Fool’s Day prank, I really am the temp blogger for Just Make Money Online, whether you like it or not. :-P

Now I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Shai, who maybe have just given birth to baby 2, for trusting me to take over this blog even just for a little bit of time and Doug for facilitating the process.

So, without further adieu, here’s my first post for all of us who are looking for ways to make money online:

If you like get paid to refer, get paid to search or other services that can earn you commissions just by referring friends or using a certain search engine, you might want to try *Fummo.

fummo

It’s one of the newest referral program and one that maybe pays one of the highest payout per referral – $5 per referral.

According to their site, the goal of the operators of Fummo is to have at least 400,000 registered members before May 20, 2007. However, when I looked for some other information from those who have signed up, I found a forum with members talking about the untrustworthiness of this program:

i dont trust this program because no one can afford such rates for one referral. i think that it will not pay its members but if it does then please let us know.

But another member’s rebuttal is that Fummo’s like Agloco, which is also another get paid to refer service.

One more scam-ish statement is…

until 20may  invite your friends to FUMMO like aglooco.This site is still beta.So referring people and 20may get money for referrals and start earning.

you can see your earnings in the account on 20may and can cashout

Although I’m not sure on whether this service will pay or not, what is there to lose if you sign up, right?

I’d really appreciate it if you share your thoughts. To Fummo or NOT to Fummo?

    Warning signs about FUMMO:

    - After someone posted a question in their user forums asking them to disclose their identity and background of the project, FUMMO did not answer, and the forums were abruptly closed.
    - FUMMO has no company information, no T&C, no privacy policy, and no spam policy in place.
    - The whois (registration) of their domain hides the owner’s true name or address, and it was only registered in March 2007 for one year.

    Before registering your friends and family, it may be best to wait for a clarification from the FUMMO team. If they don’t come clean, you may be exposing your contacts to a scam

    hi i think fummo will pay, because just imagine, they are opening it on may 20th. and on that day if some 2 lakh members have signed up. they have to run their business with this signed up members only. so if they do not pay all these members, then all members will be aware of it and they will go on unsubscribing fummo consider it as scam and tell every one not to join in the same. so what will happen? now fummo looses every registered member of it till may 20th. and the number of users to fummo will be 0. even before starting their business. and it will be difficult to run any business with 0 signed up users. and they might not get users in the future too. as we peoples will warn the upcoming users as its a scam.

    Hi, friends, just leave of fummo, its now defnietly a scam. There are a lot of good sites around. Here i have listed nearly 30 ptc sites, which are 100% paying and genuine. The special thing about all these ptc sites are all the sites pays 1 cent or more per ad viewed. You cannot earn much by being a member of just one or two programs. You should be a member of all the programs listed. And all are 100% genuien and paying. click here http://www.allpays1cent.blogspot.com

    Well guys this site has the signs of a true scam site. Man who pays you 5$ for a free signup and they don’t even have a forum to show the proofs and details. I think they are just after your contact details or something.
    well just visit httP://picsulike.blogspot.com if you like
