Boodaq Description

Boodaq is a ‘get paid to click’ service that is relatively new to the scene. The site claims you can earn $10 for reading a paid email. As a member, you can upgrade to a premium membership to receive 50% more paid emails, double your earnings, and lower your payout limit. Let’s find out if this is a legitimate service.

Boodaq Detailed Overview

I was skeptical when I first got word of Boodaq and decided to check it out. The site seemed shoddy to me but I decided to see if it was real anyway. There have been many ‘get paid to’ sites with poor designs that actually paid out when you reached out the payout limits.

Basically, Boodaq pays you $10 for reading an advertiser’s email. When you sign up, you are given a $100 bonus. You are sent anywhere from 5-10 emails per month. Sometimes the frequency can be higher. The $10 is credited instantly into your account after you open the emails.

Boodaq promises many benefits, including payout within 48 hours of request, 15% earnings from your referrals, and many payout options from Paypal, Alert Pay, E-Gold, to a basic check. Free members will have to reach $5000 in earnings in order to request payout.

There is an option to upgrade to a premium membership. This gives you more emails sent to your account, lower payout requirement, double earnings (to $20 per email), taxes paid by Boodaq, and even a HTC touch PRO pocket PC. It costs $119 to upgrade to the premium membership.

I immediately thought this was a scam as soon as I found out how high the payouts were. It seems that my intuition was right. When you reach the minimum payout, you cannot request for payment as the payout button does not work. When you try to contact the admin of the site, they simply don’t responds to your emails.

Many people have reported the same thing and the whole site is a complete scam. There haven’t been any success stories with Boodaq at all. In fact, the site is an affiliate with the getpaidsolutions network which has a reputation for being scams.

Note:  If you're on IM Report Card because you're looking for a way to make money online, then you should check out our top recommendation.  It's the best method we've found that anyone can use to earn income online.  Click here to learn more!

Boodaq Reputation

In conclusion, you should avoid Boodaq at all costs because they do not pay out your earnings. The admin of the site does not reply to your emails and you will not get any refunds if you upgrade to the premium membership. However, there are some legitimate paid to click sites which do pay out. You can find them by looking through IMReportCard.

Boodaq = Boogus!

This site is just plain out SCAM! I don’t recommend people sign up to it and it would not be a very smart thing if they did. I signed up to it a few months ago. And I constantly went on and did what I did with nothing back! You do not get anything. They promise, but they don’t deliver. How can you get $10 per click! Come on! it's not real. I mean I was pretty psyched when I first learned about it, but later on that’s when the disappointment kicked in. Of course I quit after that. This website is just bad..

This site is no good

I have been a member of this site for over a year now, and I have not been able to get anywhere with this site. Several times I try to log in and can't for reasons that the admin cannot explain. When I get to log in, a lot of time, I don't see any ads. Sometimes I don't get ads for 2 weeks.

I have decided to close my account because at this rate I am not sure that I would be paid when I reach cashout. It really is not worth it.

If it’s too good to be true…. well you know

Hm, another “too good to be true” site. I knew from the beginning before I signed up it was a scam ($10 to read an email and $100 signup bonus? Yeah right) but I wanted to just be sure so I took the plunge. At the beginning I made about $150 (For reading those emails.. ) so I tried to cash out. It’s hard to “cash out” as well when you consider that this site's support is like a ghost town. You don’t hear anything back and you never will. This company is part of a scam that is taking the web by storm, where you basically are doing work for free, and the people on the site and reaping the benefits.

Like always, companies like this should be shut down.

This is really big scam

Do not work at this site because it is scam. I worked here about two weeks. I got ten dollars per mail. Then I reached 500 dollars and I tried to cash out. I was waiting a long time, but I did not get anything. This is a really big scam. They do not pay money. I don't recommend that you work here.

Just say boooooo!

Why is this sad site still online? I was a member of Boodaq for a while and 10 dollars per mail sounded great. The signup bonus of 100 dollars sounded even better so I finally decided to join the site. Of course I was a bit skeptical about this, but you never know about these sites. After some tedious clicking I eventually reached the minimum payout, but it was impossible to ask for payment. The payout button didn't work even if I switched browsers. That's very common in scam sites. I wasted my time again!

What a horrible GPT site. They even sell expensive Account Upgrades, I really wonder if someone's actually buying from them. Boodaq is certainly NOT recommended. Booooo!

Too Good To Be True

I found Boodaq when I first started to click and thought to myself this site is too good to be true, so I joined.

I clicked on the site for a little bit, however reading around about the site I found there had been a lot of problems about members not getting paid. So due to that I stopped clicking. Due to things I also found that the site is a part of a bigger network of scams.

I also contacted the site via support and I am still waiting for a reply from them.

Overall I would suggest that you don't join the site as you'll just waste your time.

Dont fall for this SCAM

I had already tried a few pay-to-click sites when I first saw this site. I was always skeptical about it as most other PTC sites I had seen were scams.

I still gave it a try as those were my early experiences with the net. I signed up for the free account and clicked on many ads. Next day I had a look at the upgrade page. That was enough for me and I decided that it was a scam. Imagine getting an upgraded membership and a HTC Pocket PC for only $119!

I then searched for user reviews and found that there were many complaints about the site, and I gave up and canceled my account.

Big time scam

I joined this site in hopes of making money. I knew this was a scam so it was more of a test to see if it would prove me wrong. But it didn't. Yes, I was "paid" ten dollars for the email, which felt completely wrong. They were not really adding to my balance, simply just adding numbers in my account so that it seemed like I had that amount of money. When I reached payout, I requested the cash out. After two weeks, I sent them another email asking if they were going to pay me or scam me just like everybody else. Next thing you know I am not able to log into my account! How hilarious. I did not try to contact them again because I knew it would be such a waste of time, like how I wasted time clicking away. Now I have proof that they have scammed me and this is not a legit site. Do not fall under their scam.

Just a huge waste of web space!

Man I hate talking bad about companies but it really is what it is. I smelled scam all over this website when I first joined. But me being who I am, I have to try it out just to prove myself wrong as well as others.

I didn't receive not one email that pertained to Boodaq. That was my main issue. Secondly, to upgrade my account I had to pay $299! This is by far the wildest thing I had ever experienced. I wasn't willing to pay $300 to upgrade my membership when I can easily go some where else and upgrade for a few bucks.

But I will say this, I got a bunch of spam mail. I was disappointed at myself for believing that I could earn 10 bucks just for reading emails when I barely earn a few cents from other programs.

I earned absolutely nothing from Boodaq and I may not have lost my own money but I sure as heck lost my time.

I almost got scammed

I have been trying to use Boodaq for a while, as well as a few similar sites, I mean a payout of 20,000 who wouldn't want that, but I soon realized it was a scam. I never intended on upgrading to the premium because that just spells trouble, $200 for an upgrade. I had planned on getting the free user payout and then using that money to buy the upgrade, but no luck. I got the free member payout, but still to this day ( I think about 4 weeks) I have received nothing. All my contact with the man in charge (he calls himself John) have gone unanswered except for one, which told me there was an error processing my request.

After thinking this whole scam over I figured out that it is most likely one guy who runs about ten or more websites, all offering the same concept (paid emails with high payouts) so that he can get the revenue from the advertisers as well as the upgrading users. But I also noticed that half of the emails you receive link to another one of the ten or so websites, so he can't be making that much money.

Also if you look at the payouts, recently paid, most stop before September and are paid to people that have the weirdest names, like Tolina Gofli. I mean really?

SO stay as far away from any of these sites as you possibly can.

Nothing but a solid scam

First of all, this site is still up and running. I should have known better than to join this site, but stupidity took over. I was a member for about a month and a half, and I was able reach the payout amount of $5,000. When you are getting $10 per email it does not take long. Well of course when I reached payout and went to request my payout, the button was gone. I did not contact admin because I knew I had been had. What gets me the most is their homepage. Take a close look at it. In the middle on the right is says that they have passed the certificate of quality. What a joke. There is no quality to this site. Even more is the picture below it. These clowns definitely belong behind this picture... bars with a lock on it. Stay away from this site. They will completely scam you.

Very big scam

Never join this site! NEVER! When I joined... I pretty much knew this site was scam, but I still gave it a chance. When I first signed up I got 10 dollars per email which was awesome but made me more suspicious.

I reached the payout of 500 dollars in about a month, and when I tried to cash out... I sent an email letting the company know that I was eligible for cash out. When I sent the email I knew I was not going to get paid, and I was right cause it's been about four months and I haven't got paid.

If I were you I would STAY AWAY from this site.

Has scam written all over it

This site has scam written all over it. I joined knowing that more than likely it was nothing but a scam. I ended up spending around 3 weeks on the site until I could cash out. Well up until today I have not receive my money. I was quite surprised people were still asking questions about the site, after several people had complained about not getting paid. I have tried to contact the admin time and time again, but I can't get a reply. I would advise others to just ignore this site, unless you want to get scammed. I don't like this site at all because you won't get paid and you don't get any support at all.

No longer in existence

Boodaq is now a site that no longer exists. I was getting a dog site at first, and now Firefox just comes up with "site not found". I also experienced not getting paid, and when I submitted a ticket I never got a response. I actually tried to upgrade and was lucky enough to have received a refund through Alert pay, after no action from Boodaq. I guess no one will fall pray to these them now that they have gone away. I will now pay much more attention to what IM Report Card has to say before I join any site.

Stay away from this site

This is one of the sites I joined, and being a newbie then, fresh and naive, I didn't have any idea how the paid to system works. So thinking I could make some money with this site, I joined even though I had a feeling in my gut that there was something not right with this site. The pay is too high compared to the other sites. This alone was supposed to be a red flag. But being so eager to earn a few extra bucks, I still continued anyway. When I finally reached the minimum payout amount, the cash out button could not be clicked. Although I already realized by that time that I was scammed, I still made an effort to contact the site admin and asked for help. This plea for help was left unanswered. In fact, I would even say it was completely ignored because not even an acknowledgment of my complaint was sent to me. So for those who are members or those who are not, just stay away from this site. You will just waste your time and effort on this site.

Why do people even bother

I joined this website two months ago, hoping for another opportunity to make some extra money, but not just a little extra money, it was a lot. This was, until I found it was a scam.

When I first stumbled upon the website, I joined as soon as I found the register button. All free members would get paid $10 USD while paid members would get paid $20 USD per email. At first I found this a little bit too over the top, but I decided I could try the website out and see what my end result would be.

After two weeks or so, I finally reached minimum payout, which was $500 USD. I request payout, but requesting payout was not like all the other websites. You had to email the administrators and tell them you had reached the payout and they would pay you by your balance. I found this really poor since a lot of the other sites had a button where you could just click on and they would send you the money.

So I sent an email requesting payment, and I have not received payment ever since. This really showed how naive I was, and that I should of researched about the website before joining.

This website is useless, and like all other scam sites, this one will not pay you. Don't waste your time.

Stay Far Away From This One

Just out of curiosity, I joined this site. My gut instinct told me it would turn out to be a scam, but I thought that I'd try it out anyway.

The site offers $10 for viewing ads. That really sounds great to someone who has never dealt with ptc sites. The minimum payout for a free member, which is what I joined as, is pretty high, but attainable if you continue to click.

My first instincts of this site proved true. I did reach the minimum payout level, requested payment, and of course, I never received a penny.

My advice is to spend your valuable time on another site, one that really pays. This site is nothing but a scam.

Worthless Scam

In my experience, any site that offers more than 0.10 for email is a total scam. Boodaq confirmed my theory. For instance, why in the world would you pay more advertising dollars to reach the same number of people you could reach with any other PTR program?

A few of tell-tale signs I noticed when I signed up, were the sky-high cash-outs, getting your earnings doubled to a ridiculous rate after upgrading, and getting 100 free referrals when you upgrade. That last factor alone was enough to turn me off the site. Even with the low $1 a ref. that they offer, you would quickly make back what you had spent on upgrading, making it worthless to the company.

When you are looking to make money online, only go for programs that seem to give reasonable amounts of money for your time. Nobody will pay you a dollar for looking at an email, or looking at an ad. So, be careful. This site is almost certainly a scam.

Boo to boodaq!

This is a phishing site if there ever was one, cleverly hidden as one of those easy and convenient PTP programs. Claiming you can make hundreds, even thousands, of dollars a month; yeah, right! It is not true.

This site was one I stumbled upon after searching for making money online. I signed up, thinking I was going to make at least a little bit of money. No go! I submitted all of my info, only to receive not one survey in return. I didn't get any paid emails either, but mysteriously after I signed up, I suddenly got about a dozen new spams in my bulk folder! I started looking around online to see what other people thought and I didn't find much good at all. In fact, most everybody agreed that this site is not worth your time.

I tried to send a couple of emails to the contact us link, only to receive nothing in return. I was asking about the paid emails, did I need to add them to my address list? But I never received any reply at all. All this site seems to do is gather your info and leave you hanging. Stay away; it's a huge waste of your time.

Don't Even Think About It!

This was again one of the websites I stumbled upon in my early days of Internet Marketing. I was relatively new at that time and the riches this website promised intrigued me so much that I joined in a heartbeat. I religiously clicked on all the emails they presented to me for about 2 months. Well, you could pretty much guess the result - Nothing. After reaching $5000 {Yeah, Right.) the payout button didn't work at all. It simply redirected me to the homepage. After sending quite a few emails to the admin, I finally gave up. But this taught me an important lesson regarding the Internet - if something seems too good to be true, it probably is...

Mark my Words, stay away. And report them to the BBB like me.
