Internet Fraud: WiredBucks Scam Review

wiredbucks home screen

WiredBucks Scam Review is a review to help guide people who are looking for legit online survey work from being scammed.

WiredBucks.com is a data harvesting scam site promising reward for doing a survey and referring other people to join.

The purpose of this site is to sell the users' personal data to third-party spam advertisers. 

In order to get as many people to sign up and submit their personal data, it falsely claims to pay you a lot of money for doing ridiculously easy tasks via fake survey questions and gift offers.

Each time you complete a task, you'll see $10-$30 added to your dashboard and it will motivate you to carry on. Like the tagline "Make your first $200 with us TODAY", it seems pretty easy to "make" a few hundred dollars, but only within your WiredBucks account. 

The catch is, the money in your account is not real. It will never actually let you cash it. When you send a withdrawal request, it will simply ignore the request or disqualify your membership by making an excuse. Either way, soon your WiredBucks account will be canceled and your access will be blocked.

How WiredBucks Steals Your Data

To complete a "task", you are required to submit your detail (full name, email address, phone number, street address, date of birth, etc.) each and every time. Your detail will be passed from one spammer to another, and soon you'll start receiving unsolicited emails, nuisance texts, and calls.

Of course, these gifts are fake, but you'll see a message like "Your brand new Samsung Galaxy is now secured!" - as if you've just won it. Then it will ask you to fill out the form. If you were fooled by it all, you would give out all the information to make sure they send your prize to the right address, wouldn't you? That's how it's intended.

In order to scam as many people, WiredBucks also falsely offers you a lot of money for referring a friend or a follower. $10 each time your friend/follower joins, $10 each time you promote WiredBucks on YouTube and other social networks.

You may have seen messages posted by various social users saying "WiredBucks is legit! I just got paid! Join me from the link here >>>" They post such a message just to get $10. They have not been paid, they still believe that they're being paid. The $10 will be added to their WiredBucks account shortly after posting the message, but as I explained earlier, they'll never be able to cash it.

How Do You Want To Get Paid?

Upon logging in to your WiredBucks account for the first time, you'll be asked to save your preferred payment method; PayPal, CashApp, Bitcoin, or by check. They're just saying it so it may sound like a real deal to you. Don't save anything in the box - they may access it and sell it to third parties as well.

What happens when you request to withdraw cash is, they will either simply ignore your request and never respond, or respond to say that you're disqualified because your activities with WiredBuck are found to be inauthentic. Either way, your account will soon be canceled, you'll lose access and that'll be the end of it.
