Hello Scam Warners,
Just thought people should know about this company PeopleString (OTC:PLPE) aka RewardString aka BigString (PINK:BSGC). PeopleString.com, ran by Darin Myman, CEO; Adam Kotkin, COO; & Bruce Van Heel CMO, is a web portal like Yahoo.com or MSN.com but allows you to log-in to Facebook, all mail platforms etc. They claim to share 70% from the advertising revenue with all their users. Basically you get paid for browsing their website and clicking on links to their advertisers. I got suckered into their entrepreneur package for $250.
Their entrepreneur package offers 20% commission from your direct refer's earnings and 6% for level 2-6. Basically it's multi-level marketing (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-level_marketing). PeopleString in August 2010 came out with a new program called RewardString where users get paid to play certain games on Facebook and mobile apps. For $250 they guaranteed at least 500 people directly under you. These are active users that sign up to play the games or mobile apps. So when they make money for playing the games you'll earn 20% of whatever they make and 6% from their friends and so on to level 6. I thought this was a great offer, since I didn't have to recruit the users myself and at the time Facebook games were very popular and made a lot of money. At the time, it seemed like a great idea to me. Not only that, they were offering stock options for early entrepreneurs. If you have 2 entrepreneurs directly under you you'll get 2,000 stock options and 3 or more you'll get 2,000 for each entrepreneurs directly in your level 1. Seemed like an awesome deal to get stock options. If the stock (OTC:PLPE) were to sell for only $1 each, then I'd make out like a bandit. I was so excited about this opportunity that I got my friends and family to invest $250 each to be under my pyramid and so they'll also get the 500 guaranteed members under them.
Fast forward today, a year and a half later. I never got my 500 guaranteed members, nor did any my entrepreneur referrals. I can't even log in to my peoplstring.com account anymore. I requested to have my password reset, but the site doesn't even recognize my username nor my e-mail address. I e-mailed their help desk a week ago about this and still no response. I was owed 6000 shares of stock which is only worth $.09 per share today and now I have no way of accessing them. I spent $250, made $150 for referring 3 entrepreneurs under me and about $10 for just using their website in a year and a half. I guess losing $90 isn't so bad, but I've had 3 people spend $250 each to not make anything. I feel bad for them and the people that they may have convinced to buy into this entrepreneur program.
Stay clear of this company/site: http://peoplestring.com/, http://www.bigstring.com/. They don't deliver on what they promised. Now I know there's no such thing as easy money. I feel so stupid for being suckered by this company. Anyone else have experience with PeopleString? Did they do anything illegal? Can something be done about them?
