Bitcoin Forum

Hi there,

Just signed up to the forums to report iWantFreeBitcoins.com as a SCAM site. Myself SupaDupaJenkins and a huge list of others have still not been paid for completing offers and withdrawing BitPoints (Worth Bitcoins on iWantFreeBitcoins.com). It's been days and for some people it has been weeks and they still have not been paid at all. I'm quite certain none of us are ever going to get paid and would caution anyone that uses this site that there is a high chance this site is a complete SCAM and is going to just rip you out of 10s of Bitcoins you worked hard doing offers and paying actual money to receive. I was one of the lucky ones that didn't sign up for Cellphone Offers or other Paid Offers but I assume others did (which I feel really bad for them now :( ).

Happy Bitcoin Mining Everyone and Stay Safe!

Cheers,

SupaDupaJenkins

*EDiT* 5 Verified Payouts on iWantFreeBitcoins.com definately NOT a SCAM :) *EDiT*

i was iffy about that site.

I agree that this site it a Major SCAM.......This site owes me plenty.....The support emails just bounce back and he never responds to skype which are the two methods that he lists to contact him with issues.....DO NOT SIGN UP OR USE THIS SITE.....This guy should be banned from the forums for this.....

I agree, it's a complete SCAM. I got nothing. Spent close to an hour on the site.  :'(

He was eager to reply to my emails to add his website to the BTC Economy Feed (http://www.searchbitcoin.com/plugins/btc-economy-plugin/).

Please describe in more detail your dispute. I have temporarily removed his website from the feed until I learn more.

Here is my dispute.........I have been waiting for over 4 days for my bitcoins to be sent from his website.....The website says allow up to 72 hours for processing....My request still shows pending.  Also, all emails that i have sent to the support email listed on the website have been returned due to being unable to deliever them to the address.....Also, he has not responded to any of my Skype messages about this matter.  his website also has a link to contact him on skype.....

What I am seeing is several hours of my time spent doing offers on his site and now that it is time to pay, it is not happening....

I'm in the same boat as unsquidly. We are mass discussing this on Dragon's Tale Bitcoin Casino. I've had the same issue with not receiving any payment at all and have waited since July 23rd for the payment to clear. Like unsquidly says it states that you should give it up to 72 hours for the payment to clear which I have done and it's closing at the 90 Hour mark now. I withdrew just over 118 Bitmill. I also talked to him several days this week on Skype and was told that he made some Custom Offers on the Custom Offers page for myself and other Canadians. I am guessing this was an attempt of showing legitimacy for iWantFreeBitcoins.com in which the site now has none at all. I also wen't through around 3-5 customer service boarrds and tickets trying to get rewarded for completing offers and then once I had enough (118 bitmill) I cashed out with no luck receiving rewards what so ever. As soon as I realized I'm not the only one this is happening to I let unsquidly and other people on Dragon's Tale Bitcoin Casino know that I was going to report this site on The Bitcoin Forums.

PS: I highly appreciate the feedback and hope that others in the same boat as me can be rewarded for their completion of offers and surveys as well. If this is not the case I will be happy with this Riley fellow getting the ban hammer and a possible boycott/closing of his site.

I'll keep his website off the feed unless other people come forward and give positive reports.

Wish I could do more :-(

i'm still waiting for my bitcoin from them.

i did sooo many hours and everything.

I haven't signed up there, but from reading this thread the problems remind me of freebitcoins.org; there are two threads about that one:
http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=18308.0
http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=25578.0

Of course, it might just be a coincidence that the domains sound so similar and that both use the same whois protection and nameservers.

Just saying.

All pending BitCoin cashouts have been processed.  Sorry for the delays, had a pretty busy weekend.  Needed to source more BitCoins.

Everything should be up to date now.


If you have completed any particular offer and not been awarded your points please PM me the details of the offer.  There isn't much I can do if the advertiser does not confirm the offer, but I can remove their offer if they are repeated not rewarded users.

All cashouts will take 24 - 72 hours due to the possibility of offer chargebacks.  If you fill out an offer with junk details you cant expect to be awarded the points, and will likely be banned by the offer provider if you continue to do so.

Thanks for the heads up regarding the support email address, its suppose to be forwarding to me personal address, but obviously something is wrong.  I try to get on skype as much as possible, during the week more often than on weekends.

Any other issues please let me know.

Ok.....I finally got paid for the rewards that I had requested.....I just requested another payout so we will see how long this one takes....

iWantFreeBitcoins has been reinstated in the BTC Economy feed (http://www.searchbitcoin.com/plugins/btc-economy-plugin/).

In the near future, people will be able to rate vendors and leave comments on items and services in the feed.

I just got paid as well. Sorry about the hassle was just questioning the legitmacy :(

All is good now got paid a couple bitmicro more then what I cashed out :)

Thanks again for going through on your word , very good of you :)

PS: I renamed the thread to iWantFreeBitcoins.com is NOT a SCAM (5 Verified Payouts) :)

I also have an issue with this site and have PMed the owner.  Will update upon resolution.

If they accept scams like false green card lottery, they probably haven't many ethical principles.

Still sounds like a scam to me. Too good to be true and all that...

Yourself and 2 other users had their cashouts refunded as BitPoints.  This was because you were awarded 100x the points you should have been for completing a few offers.  The offer provider sent back the points awarded without the decimal places (when they specifically stated they would have a decimal place in their documentation) and therefore you received 100x the points you should have.

I cancelled your cashouts and returned the BitPoints to your balance so that you can cashout again in the future (with the correct amount of BitPoints).

registered to give it a try

So here are my results about the offers I did:

Installed: iBundle (21 points)
When started, the software complains about not being able to connect.

Installed: Emule (9 points)
Open Source software with a wrapper that installs ShopperReports/Questscan/Clickpotato*

Installed: 7zip (9 points)
Open Source software with a wrapper that installs ShopperReports/Questscan/Clickpotato*

Installed: VLC Media Player/XVid (25.5 points)
Open Source software with a wrapper that installs ShopperReports/Questscan/Clickpotato*

Clicked: Compare Prices and earn BitPoints (1 point)
Result page was just an empty page

Installed: Babylon 9 (19 points)
When started, crashes with an "missing dll" error

Installed: Fantapper plugin (36 points)
Complains Flash 10 is not installed although it is


*) First results in Google about those programs deal with how to remove malware, adware, spyware, trojans

Now I'll wait and see if I get the 120.5 points (currently equals 0.08767462BTC) I was promised for doing these tasks. Then I'll request a payment. Considering that I have loaded a PC with very questionable and/or broken software for just $1.20, I'm not sure if I'll keep on using those offers. Especially since 3 installed simply abuse Open Source software.

Forgot to mention that I couldn't try any more offers because the redirect page broke down, giving me only a "temporary error" message.

Still no points earned from the offers I did.

Out of curiosity, I did a few more:

Signed up: Hub 4 Love (72 points)
I literally had to deselect something between 100-200 porn newsletters and skip adult ads

Tried: Real Player (15 points)
Tried: XVID - Watch Movies (19.5 points)
Tried: Media Search (19.5 points)
Tried: FLVTube - Youtube Downloader (6 points)
All those failed with the error message: "Sorry, this offer is not available to you. (PB01)"

Installed: Frets on Fire (25.5 points)
Open Source software with a wrapper that installs ShopperReports/Questscan/Clickpotato*
Successfully installs the adware, but crashes when installing the game.

Installed: Youtube Downloader (33 points)
Open Source software with a wrapper that installs ShopperReports/Questscan/Clickpotato*
Doesn't seem to work at all, has to be killed via taskmanager





Right now, I'm waiting on an acknowledgement of 231 points. With the current exchange rate of 149.76 points = 0.1BTC, I should have made 0.15424679BTC.
It is really annoying that there is no history of the pending tasks. If I wouldn't have posted the list here, I wouldn't know what I'm waiting for.

They have changed the offer page.....Up until a few days ago, you could see the offers that you had completed and the status of them on each offer page but not now.....I still have several offers that I have not gotten point for completing.  Also, it looks like he is using an outside source for support on the offers that is all but impossible to get anything out of....This site is not very good at all right now.....

Im in the process of changing offer providers for exactly that reason.

The new offer provider is much bigger and has a better rep.  I've just been approved so the offers should go up in the next few hours.

I will also be setting it up so you can see which offers you have been credit for, so you can keep track.

Unfortunately some offer just dont get paid out.  I'm not sure if its the advertiser or the offer provider.  But I have users that tell me they did everything correct, yet I receive no confirmation of the offer. 

Hopefully the new offer provider will see this change.

I'm trying this out now, I'll post my results.   :)

EDIT: Well, RealPlayer froze and "Media Search" tried to install Adware   >:(

Once again, over 72 hours since I requested payment from my account and still not paid out.....Looks to me like this site needs some major work.....They will not last too long treating members like this.....Over 72 hours is way to long to wait for payment of rewards.....

Receiving more BtC right now.  All outstanding payments will be made in the next hour.

I'm going to change the cashouts policy to two days a week.  Sunday and Wednesday.  That way users will know when to expect a cashout.

All the cashouts have currently come from my pocket as their is a significant delay before the offer providers payout.  I have also been working hard to find a reputable offer provider that confirm all completed offers.  "Shaving" is the term apparently, which basically means the offer provider or advertiser rips both the users and my business of by not confirming all offer completions.

The new offer apparently has a zero shaving policy, which sounds great.  Lets hope it lives up to the expectation.

Hmmmmm....Still no payment....I do like the idea of set payment days....I hope it works better then the current system however....

OK....I finally got paid.....

Changes made :) Come on mate, could be a little more excited you got free bitcoins....

The new offer provider has begun to be incorporated.  A few of the offers are now from them.  They release more offers over time so I'll keep adding them.

I'm looking for more things to add. 

I've seen a few sites out where you can complete simple tasks for rewards/points.  Would anyone be interested in similar things?

Tasks are usually things like comment/favorite a youtube video, like on facebook, +1 on google, or write a few 100 words on a topic.

If people want these kinds of tasks I can set them up.  It will be my own system :) so it should be alot more reliable than external offer operators.

Those weren't free bitcoins if he worked for them.

Am I to understand that you have a fluctuating exchange rate as far as your 'bitpoints' to btc? And people have used your service? -insert shaking head smiley here-

Randy,
You are 100% correct in all of your post.......I have spent a lot of time and effort to get right at .75 BTC......I could have made much more then this without all of the effort mining.....And yes, the price does fluctuating exchange rate......I will get excited about this site when it is working as advertised and all of the offers actually pay what they are advertised they will....Until then, I will not get excited and continue to post updates on this forum....

Wouldn't it make more sense to remove all the offers from the scammer instead of mixing them with the new provider? I still see all that adware installs; in fact, I don't see anything that looks new. But I might just have missed it.

Also, I guess I can forget the 231 points I made with your previous adware provider? Right now, all my point stats are 0. And as a side note: without something like a "pending tasks list" it's really annoying because I'd have to keep track of the tasks manually.

Some of the offers are the same from the new provider, so you wont see anything different on the front end.  I have removed a number of offers that havent been paying out at all.

The offers that remain are ones that have paid out.  The next issue becomes whether or not they are paying out for all users, and why not.  That is what the new network should solve. 

If changing offer networks doesnt solve that, then I guess its the offers themselves, in which case I will remove them completely.

If you want to try the new offer provider try these offers:
Free: Ares Unlimited Music & Movies
Visa Credit Card
Free: Emule P2P Software

Let me know if/when you complete them and I'll follow it up. 

They aren't. I did quite a bunch of those and never got any points acknowledged. Like the dating signup, 7zip, VLC, Youtube Downloader and Emule.

There hasn't changed much. Guess what it tries to install? Yes, ShopperReports/Questscan/Clickpotato. Also, Ares is Open Source, just like the others above which I tried before and where I got nothing for either.

lol, no, not going there.

See my older posts, already installed that one. I clicked the link again though, and it just ends in a blank page.

It ends in a blank page because its filtering you out of the offer based on geography.

Where are you located?

The offers up do pay out.  Im not sure why they havent paid out for you.  If the offer says its open for a country that your not located in you wont be awarded for completing it.

The Only Free Cheese is in the Mousetrap

@RJau
I'm through with it. I've invested a few hours and got nothing from it (well, except adware); still 0 points. The new offers would require me to invest money first, but with the experiences I made on your site I have my doubts that I'd get anything back. Wasting time is bad enough; I'm not going to put any money into this.

I am almost to the same point as Jason on this site.....Right now there are no good free offers.....This site needs some major work if it is going to make it...

Im working on more offers.

The original offer walls were great, everyone seemed to like the offers but I need to make sure their going to payout on the offers as they promised.  I'm yet to receive a single dollar from any of the offer companies while I've payed out approximately 10 BitCoins now.

If the money rolls in from the offer wall providers the offer walls will go back up and everyone will be happy again.

Just have to play the waiting game.

In the mean while there are the custom offers, and I'm working on more.

OK.....This site offically sucks now.....Too many offers that have dead links......Too many offers that don't pay out adn too long to get rewards from this site.....This site is a fine example of how if you just put up a website and don't do any planning or research you will have a failed website....After working this site for almost a month I have gotten less then 1 BTC from it....Not worth the effort at all.....Stay clear of this site...

Honestly unsquidly you can report the offers as not showing as completed and that you haven't been credited for them also you say that Riley (The Site Admin) is not on Skype ever when I've talked to him close to 10-15 times in the time I've used the site. He's credited me for all the offers I wasn't credited originally for and he's using money out of his own pocket when the offer providers are not paying for completion of the offers. I have just completed 2 surveys in the last 2 days from the SSI Daily Survey Offers and have been credited for them right away. You can also contact Riley directly via email and have your offers credited. Every offer I've ever done that I wasn't credited for I had a very fast (under 30 second) reply stating why the offer hadn't been credited or that it was going to be credited now. I honestly don't find this site at all a scam and I find that Riley is doing a great job to make everyone happy even when it costs himself alot of his own cash.

Glad it is working out for you but it is not for me....He must like you....LOL

Super rewards offer wall is back up.  Enjoy :)

Just processed another 3.5 BitCoins of rewards :)  Enjoy.

I've received payments from them before, but used it again recently and have had it pending since September 13th.  Starting to have my doubts. 

If you don't mind SPAM for bitcoins, use this site  :D

Have you been paid recently?

RJau, could you respond?  What's going on?

No, i havent. The minimum to cash out was too high.

Received the cashouts I was waiting on.  Cool.  Looks like they're kind of slow, but definitely pay out.

I am going to have to check this out

Hello All.

Today (October 17) I received my bitcoins (or should I say bitcents) from iwantfreebitcoins.com. I'm very happy because I wasn't expecting it that to be honest.
Well done.

I haven't used one of these sites since the original (freeipods.com)
Might have to give this a try, theres a few interesting offers

Was ok for a week or so, and now I've got some coins pending since 25th October!!! Not good then. :(

Received all today. Uff. Looks like if you're not high in the queue than you may have to wait some time...Still got my coins :)

I don't like from this site that I can't get my bitcoins ultil I don't have a certain number of bitpoints. This is a problem if You are interested only in a single offer or poll.

Most of pages are doing exactly same thing.

Bigger problem is, I've got many reward pending since 9th November!!!!
Very very unreliable guy behind it!!!

Yeah I'm having pretty much the same problem as everyone else with this site it is just to unreliable

Cashouts are processed on Wednesday and Sunday. Get your cashout requests in early to make sure you get paid on these days.

Date    Value    Status    Address
November 20    0.231267    pending    19K9bizPsVJZSwWhSfdAFrQNNerCBr3Q3X

as you can see it's been 9 days since I tried to cash out my points and still pending.


Does anyone have any information on why this is taking so long or is this site just completely spontaneous in its reliability?

Guy just don't give a fu.. anymore.

Update: so sometime in the last 2 or 3 hours my cash out  was finally processed. after 16 days of waiting I must say I am not very impressed with this site especially considering that on the website it states that "Cashouts are processed on Wednesday and Sunday. Get your cashout requests in early to make sure you get paid on these days". so in review if you are looking for a site with sporadic payments among other issues as I've read about on this forum than this is the site for you. As for me I'm currently in search for a new site to acquire bit coins in a similar but more reliable way.

i gave up on this site along time ago, been payed out once then never got another one. wast of time

http://www.freedigitalmoney.com/en/Bitcoins seems to use the same ad interface. I did two surveys using bogus info during lunch just to see if it was legitimate (My time is more valuable than this, lol.) I received 0.11 bitcoins for one, and 0.14 for another within about 15 minutes for one and about an hour for another. I bet you it's the ad companies that cause this difference.

i've had a cashout pending for weeks from iwantfreebitcoins, ive given up on it..  never had a problem with freedigitalmoney though.. 

of course the ad companies determine what the payout for each offer completed is..

Payouts seem to have been speeding up lately guys/gals. Definately something to do with the AD Providers not holding up on their end of the bargain. Proccessed a request about 2 weeks ago and it took less then an hour to process. The last time I talked to Riley (The Site Owner) he was stating that the AD Providers have been very very unreliable and scammy about being willing to pay for the offers/surveys people have been doing , even when you have clearly done them as have I. He also mentioned he's been putting alot of his own money into payouts as well for that exact reason.

PS: I highly recommend FreeDigitalMoney @ http://freedigitalmoney.com and Rewards4Points.com @ http://rewards4points.com

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012 EVERYONE!

Cheers,
