SupportingFriends.com Scam?

I received the following message this morning:

Hi dear lady,

Sorry I just found your website but I don't know your name.

My name is Jacey and I am an at-home mom with two kids in Canada so i am looking for chance to make money from home. My friend tole me a site to make a few bucks every month easily then i signed up. Could you take a look the program as i didn't see recommendation in your blog.

You can check this link(it's my link) [I removed the link provided]:

Thank you and I appreciate.

Jacey


So I started off doing what I do. I preformed a Google search for “supportingfriends scam”. Believe me when I say, there was nothing nice said about this site in any of the search results.

So I took my research to the next level and tried to e-mail their support people (support@supportingfriends.com) and the message was instantly sent back to me as undeliverable. I never consider it a good sign when you can not contact support for a company.

So I looked up the domain information and found that supportingfriends.com is the same as myHPF.com, which is a British Paid to Search scam site. So I continued and checked the BBB and see if there were any complaints filed against the company and what I found was complaints of non-payments, non-credits, and termination of accounts without good reason.

I would love to test this site for this reader, but with the structure of payouts I would not be able to give a full review until April or May assuming that I got credit every time I used the site for my searches.

Therefore, I am going to tell people to use caution when using this site. I believe that it is a scam and that your hard work will go unpaid. Let me explain how this site is making money even though you don’t have to pay to join.

You will notice that I have a Google Search bar at the top of this page. Every time someone enters a search term, searches and then clicks on a link found by the search I get earn money and that money is how I keep this site going. I use the money earned off this blog to purchase programs and try them and then report back to you

(This is in NO WAY a solicitation for you to use my Google search randomly so I can earn more money, if you have a legitimate search use the bar, if not, please do not search using my bar, it will get me banned from Google).

I know that yahoo has a similar program, but I prefer Google, so every time you search on supportingmyfriends.com, the company earns money that they have promised to share with you, but they don’t if the BBB complaints are any indication.

Again, I will say, I have not tried this site so I can not say for sure, but everything I have read and found tells me to stay away from this site it will be a waste of time.
