500cents-500dollars Did not pay out money, after requested ripoff Internet

I came across this company as I was searching for a way to make money from home, as I am a stay at home mom. I thought, since I did not have to pay anything, or provide any personal information such as bank account or credit card, I would give it a try.

After going through my emails every morning, and clicking on advertisments for $1 each, I slowly reached the $500 payout. I requested my payment. No word came on my money.

After a couple of months, I reached $1000, and requested my payment again. As stated in their contract:

"Members may earn by receiving paid-emails and visiting the advertiser websites after they have entered their member ID in the area on the website provided by 500cents-500dollars.org. Members may earn by referring new members to the 500cents-500dollars.org program. Members will earn a percentage of advertising revenues collected by 500cents-500dollars.org. Members will be paid via PayPal / eGold. 500cents-500dollars.org will pay members when their balance reaches the minimum payout rate set by 500cents-500dollars.org. Once the member has reached payout they may request payment. Payments will be made within 30 days or a reasonable time after."

My first request was made in the beginning of September 2006. It is now November 2006, and I still have no recieved my payout, nor have I recieved an email from them regarding it, after I sent them an email complaining about it.

They have options of upgrading, which will reduce your minimum payout, but thank goodness I have not bought one.
