I wrote about Bloggerwave and my shitty experience with them. You can read it here—> Story. If you haven’t read it, go on we will wait for ya to catch up.
Back yet? Good. Here’s the rest of the story.
Now there’s been a lot of good folks who turned to them in hopes of making some money from home. Heck I was one of them. I was reading on the PPP forums and ran across this very useful information by Brett as to what the problem is. Allegedly Bloggerwave was using fraudulent means of paying people. That’s so wrong on so many levels. Now I am worried because I gave them my personal information and wonder how it will be used. I will be watching carefully against my accounts and if I notice anything going fishy, I will contact Paypal myself.
You know it’s a shame. Jerks like the people that run Bloggerwave are taking advantage of people who are out there working for various reasons. Some use the money to support their families, some use it to treat their families to vacations. Whatever the reason, this is BS and I hope that Bloggerwave gets what’s coming to them. They need to be shut down and something needs to be done.
I finally got my money out of them. I threatened legal action. Yeah having to go that far over 10 bucks. But I kept my part of the agreement by writing the post and keeping it up for 30 days. But I would advise no one to trust this company.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I wonder if you might end up having those funds yanked back from PayPal.
If BW’s account was fraudulent they might decide it best to take back all payments that were doled out by them. I’m really beginning to think I won’t be seeing my $10 any time soon either.
Well I got mine. But I did threaten them with legal action. You might try that and see if it works. It’s a shame that we worked for them and they screwed us all over like this. I hope you get your money.
I’m with Joana, you could still have those funds taken back from PayPal if they do feel that the Bloggerwave account is fraudulent in a big way. But let’s hope not. Great post!
Oh I understand that Trish, but I surely hope not. If so I will keep raising a stink
Ehh! I’m not going to bother with those fools anymore. I’ll definitely file a complaint but I’m not going to push for the money. If it truly is a fraudulent account Paypal can take the money back from you. It’s happened to a few of my friends.
I use a separate Paypal account for new companies and my Paypal business account for most other transactions. They are both tied to two different emails. I’m not too worried about that. Both of my Paypal accounts are tied to a “temporary account”. I don’t keep over $100 in there.
Just to fill you in. The account: payment@bloggerwave.com have been activated.
We received the following email from Paypal, dated may, 24. 2007:

Furthermore everybody where paypal have reverted the payment have received their payment by now. And that is FROM THE SAME PAYPAL ACCOUNT: payment@bloggerwave.com – this should prove me point.
All this is due to a mistake from paypal. I we at bloggerwave hope that you will all continue working with us.
I hope you will respond to this message…..
I do thank you for your response. You have to see it also from my point of view. There was NO explanation as to why all of of the funds that were sent to my account kept getting taken back. I emailed you guys asking questions and never got a response. That’s not the proper way to do business. If you are having problems then tell your story and not lead everyone on.
Even if it was a mistake on Paypal’s part, you should have sent out emails to the people working for you and maybe you wouldn’t have lost the trust of those employed by you.
Bloggerwave a Scam?
Was Bloggerwave a scam?
…
Only time will tell honestly. I won’t be working for them anymore. I personally don’t trust them or their ethics.
[...] These days I see many bloggers write about Bloggerwave,I write too,in my other blogs.But not only review Bloggerwave,also it’s advertisers,like masterseek. Bloggerwave is a new company like Review Me,but only a little more than 7 weeks old now,a LIVE company. I see some bloggers(1,2,3,4) query about the PAYMENT.I’v written more than 5 posts,one posts worth $10,at the time I’v written 5 posts,I received $50 from Bloggerwave via PayPal. [...]
Hey, I’m glad you got your payment. They wouldn’t have gotten all the negativity if they would have simply explained to the bloggers that they were having problems. Like others around the net have said, that hurt them and their credibility with so many bloggers out there they were willing to give them a chance. I for one will not make that mistake again.
[...] Same thing goes to Sassy (The Scam Unfolds), Top10tech (Did Bloggerwave make a Payment with a Fraudulent Bank Account or Credit Card?) and also Skeet (Bloggers beware!), they also express their own thought about Bloggerwave. But, I just received an email from Bloggerwave and I think this will make us more eager to make money with Bloggerwave. I already prepared a screenshot of the payment and you can see it by yourself. It’s paying………..!!! [...]
[...] The Sassy Southerner suggests that Bloggerwave is an elaborate scam. [...]
